Then he won't mind when the voters choose to put down the 111th Congress.
I wonder what methods he advocates? Perhaps applying them to capital punishment will placate those who are concerned that the current “cocktail” is not safe or effective.
After today, he may be first in line.
Well, we can always look at the bright side. Perhaps the Democrats, liberals, socialists and communists will select themselves out and we will be left with pro-life families with 8 kids and home-schooling moms. This is a case where federalism may work quite nicely. Vermont could become a magnet for worn out Leftists seeking to meet Satin a little sooner.
Actually, this year that’s not a good thing. The current governor is a Republican and the Repub running for governor is the current lieutenant governor. He should be WAY higher in the polls than he is.
I’m very concerned that Shumlin will win - he’s a lying scumbag barking moonbat. Unfortunately the hippie contingent up here never met a barking moonbat they didn’t just love.

I don’t understand this plea for a right to be euthanized. No one contemplating suicide is worried about being prosecuted for a crime if he succeeds. Making it legal to do so won’t magically make it moral. It only makes sense if someone else wants to kill the lesser among us.
It is to legalize those who help people who commit suicide — such as Dr. Jack Kevorkian.
I know that, and that is my whole point. The euthanizers don’t want to kill themselves, they want the right to kill others. Just like the menopausal, lesbian pro aborts don’t need the right to an abortion for themselves, they just don’t want YOU to have a baby.
The Democratic candidate for governor of Vermont has told a pro-euthanasia lobby group that he would push to decriminalize the actions of those who help others kill themselves.Do they have to *want* to kill themselves, or can I just go ahead and help them do it?
I think you are right. This is clearly part of an overarching eugnenics/government control movement.
In college, I had a professor who was very pro-euthanasia for my values and virtues class (which was neither valuable nor virtuous). He said that if someone who was going to die from illness or live the rest of their life in misery from a handicap anyway wanted to die sooner, should it not be that person’s right to die sooner? We discussed the topic using the movie Million Dollar Baby as a reference.
Too bad one of the people in his class had severe bipolar depression and after the movie and discussion had ended, she attempted to end her own life.
He then talked about how horrible suicide is, and when I confronted him on the issue he said that euthanasia is a completely different thing.
My good friend always called him “Dr. Dubious.”
