He signed the subpoena for Terri Schiavo when he said this was to extend her life and "give her hope."  Then he said "the Party made him do it," then he said he was just making sure she had the same rights to a hearing as a convicted felon.  Well, his Party's Supreme Court said felons are lucky if they get two hearings. Schiavo had dozens of hearings.

I love this New Republic skewering...

"Of course, the easiest path to celebrity in this debate is not Jones-style dissidence or Barrett-esque bombast, but waffling. Virginia Republican Tom Davis spent the first part of this week weighing the resolution's pros and cons and teasing the press corps, telling The Washington Post's Jonathan Weisman that it was 'not inconceivable' he would decide to support it. As he rose to take the podium yesterday (from the seat he'd chosen within the chamber's staunch Republican section), reporters hurtled into the press gallery to bear witness. Davis, whose pockmarked face looked more weathered than ever under his silky cap of brown hair, delivered a pox on both houses: 'From here, the surge looks more like the status quo on steroids,' he said, but then he added that 'the symbolic resolution doesn't say enough. It says only what some members are against, not what they are for.'

"After he finished, the reporters in the gallery clustered together in confusion. "Did he say what he was gonna do?" one hissed. He may not have said it, but his recessional made it perfectly clear: Slowly and somberly, as in a funeral train, Davis and his flack wound their way to the left, along the darkened corridor behind the Republican section and through the rows of empty chairs to join Jones and his renegade band."

Now that its cool to criticize the Iraq war Davis is waving his fist. I'd love to see all the quotes from him which supported the president every step of the way. Davis: "Am I looking moderate enough? Should I move farther to the left or to the right?".

Davis always counts on the fact that most people don't look into the background on his decisions. He often poses as supporting issues where he is actually not supporting the issue. Its all about how things look to Davis. He is also motivated by lobbyist perks, or the lack thereof. Now that he can't get anymore lobbyist paid vacations I guess he has little use for Bechtel. I also think his turn around was a stab in the back to Tim Kaine. The rally then had Tim Kaine calling Moran saying he does not support the tunnel while Tom and Jeannemarie (is this a real name?) stood behind Moran wearing tunnel stickers. I understand Davis was isntrumental is convincing Kaine not to support the tunnel in the first place. We need to get smart and find a way to expose Davis for what he is.
