Brownback, Schiavo's brother to campaign

[oberliner]

WASHINGTON - Republican presidential hopeful Sam Brownback is embarking on a campaign trip with the brother of the late Terri Schiavo, whose fate touched off a political firestorm over government intervention and end-of-life issues.

The Kansas senator is less well-known than leading GOP candidates for president, but he is a favorite of anti-abortion conservatives who influence Iowa's nominating caucuses. Brownback is calling the tour "Pro-Life, Whole-Life."

3. I love to see it when a Pub takes himself out!

With all the backlash from what Congress and the Pubs did in the Schiavo case, Does Sammy REALLY think this is going to help him?

4. Way to go for the swing voters, Senator Clueless

Well, at least he's consistent. Totally fucking insane, but consistent.
