Not Leaders...Representatives

Leaders Emerge, they are not elected, they don't solicit for their post, and usually are forced into some official position long after their ability to lead has been demonstrated. the Congress and the Senate, are rife with people who have their own agenda and fail to adhere to their oath, the same one that we took , ie: to uphold and defend the constitution of the United States against ALL enemies, foreign and Domestic.
Congress has no business in baseball or the Terri Schiavo case.
As for the method.....some murdering rapist P.O.S. gets the needle and whether or not he suffers, it's over in less than five minutes, but this poor gal has to starve to death, fair is fair, shouldn't the deathrow inmate suffer the same death as a law abiding citizen? Or does killing citizens give you some kind of bennie?
Just my take on the whole thing....it all stinks of posturing and politics
