So apparently there is plenty of cash somewhere to continue Terri Schiavo's care indefinitely. Otherwise the Republicans wouldn't be so adamant about keeping her tethered to machinery.

But if money isn't their motivation what could it be? Try this on for size:
ABC News has obtained talking points circulated among Republican senators explaining why they should vote to intervene in the Schiavo case. Among them: "This is an important moral issue and the pro-life base will be excited..." and "This is a great political issue... this is a tough issue for Democrats."Ahh - that explains it.
