Is this a classy guy or what?
"Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean said Friday that his party would wield the Terri Schiavo case against Republicans in the 2006 and 2008 elections, but for now needed to stay focused battling President Bush on Social Security.No, Howard. No one would expect you to consult any higher power other than yourself. I think you've made that point abundantly clear.
'We're going to use Terri Schiavo later on,' Dean said...'This is going to be an issue in 2006, and it's going to be an issue in 2008,' Dean told about 200 people at a gay rights group's breakfast in West Hollywood, 'because we're going to have an ad with a picture of Tom DeLay saying, 'Do you want this guy to decide whether you die or not? Or is that going to be up to your loved ones?' '
Dean, a practicing physician until he became governor of Vermont in 1991, added: 'The issue is: Are we going to live in a theocracy where the highest powers tell us what to do? Or are we going to be allowed to consult our own high powers when we make very difficult decisions?'" (LATimes)

In reference to Dean's comments about who chooses whether you live or die, I can't help but going back to a question regarding Terri's husband, Michael. Could you really consider him a "loved one?" Personally, if I were Terri, I would have preferred to have my parents listed as my "loved ones."
