Interesting find:

The 2000 Republican Platform: "Medical decision-making should be in the hands of physicians and their patients."

The 2004 Republican Platform: "We must attack the root causes of high health care costs by: ... putting patients and doctors in charge of medical decisions."

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, March 17, 2005: "So our -- Congress has acted tonight and the House of Representatives acted last night. ... It is clear to me that Congress has a responsibility since other aspects of government at the state level have failed to address this issue."

House Majority Leader Tom Delay, March 19: "For one person in one state court to make this decision is too heavy. ... It does take all of us to think this through."


And the hypocrisy and contradictions continue to pour in.

2. This is so true --- the hypocrisy of conservatives reaks...

Unbelievable that the "Libruul Meeedia" lets them get away with this...

3. This is a good thing -- what we should start doing now -- take

every freakin republican who's running in 2006 and find the inconsistencies in what they have said and what they have voted for. Then compile it and send it to the democrat opponents.

Research and framing good arguments - what DUers are good at -- what our campaigns seem to need desparately !
