GOP Senators Disgusted at Scum Tom DeLay |
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/23/politics/23repubs.html?ex=1269234000&en=b374f7629523357d&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland
Senator John W. Warner of Virginia, the sole Republican to oppose the
Schiavo bill in a voice vote in the Senate, said: "This senator has
learned from many years you've got to separate your own emotions from
the duty to support the Constitution of this country. These are
fundamental principles of federalism."
"It looks as if it's a wholly Republican exercise," Mr. Warner said,
"but in the ranks of the Republican Party, there is not a unanimous
view that Congress should be taking this step."
In interviews over the past two days, conservatives who expressed
concern about the turn of events in Congress stopped short of
condemning the vote in which overwhelming majorities supported the
Schiavo bill, and they generally applauded the goal of trying to keep
Ms. Schiavo alive. But they said they were concerned about what
precedent had been set and said the vote went against Republicans who
were libertarian, advocates of states' rights or supporters of
individual rights.
"My party is demonstrating that they are for states' rights unless
they don't like what states are doing," said Representative
Christopher Shays of Connecticut, one of five House Republicans who
voted against the bill. "This couldn't be a more classic case of a
state responsibility."
"This Republican Party of Lincoln has become a party of theocracy,"
Mr. Shays said. "There are going to be repercussions from this vote.
There are a number of people who feel that the government is getting
involved in their personal lives in a way that scares them."
