THE PROBLEM WITH THE REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP . . . THE CASE OF GOV. KATHLEEN SEBELIUS (D-KANS)

Update:  George Weigle - The Sebelius nomination is a challenge to Catholics.  Weigle offers his usual incisive, comprehensive commentary.  It's clear that the radical, pro-abortion Sebelius' nomination to head HHS is a test not only for Republicans, but for Catholics as well.

(Original Post) - The Family Research Council points out with regard to President Obama's pick for Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS):  

With the exception so far of Sens. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) and Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), the nomination of Gov. Kathleen Sebelius (D-Kans.) -- arguably the most pro-abortion governor in the nation -- has been met by the Republican leadership with a collective yawn. Here is a woman who aligns herself against 80% of the country in suggesting that the government knows better than parents in children's health decisions, and yet the GOP can't muster the will to fight her nomination. As governor, she hosted a private reception for a notorious partial-birth abortionist, vetoed bills that would have made abortion clinics cleaner for women, and blocked court reforms that would have helped to prevent third-term abortions. Like President Obama, she even opposed protection for infants who are born alive during an abortion.

If Republicans won't take a stand now, when will they? Once Sebelius is confirmed, she will control the largest government agency in America with more power and resources to advance a radical social agenda that will drive a deeper wedge between parents and their children. Grassroots conservatives understand what's at stake here. Why doesn't the Republican leadership?    [emphases mine]

Me: Why should  anyone give money or support such a feckless party?  I wish it were otherwise.  Where is the leadership?
