You’re off on two counts. Firstly, the Schiavo case was not about whether ir not she was going to die, but who had the right to make decisions for her. You can’t say it’s the parents just because you want her to live. Either they were next of kin or not, and they were not. Secondly, it was none of Bush the Younger’s business, certainly. Since when do presidents stick their noses in state family law? It wasn’t really any if Jeb’s business either, but the business of the courts.
The less the powers that be infringe upon us and into our business the better off we are, imo. Others may differ as is their right.
I disagree with everything you’ve posted.
Jebbie talked big about wanting to save her, but FEARED Big Media’s backlash, which Big Media knew, because they kept threatening him and the public with all that would happen if he even TRIED to take custody.
And his big brother could have saved her, too.
“Since when do presidents stick their noses in state family law? It wasn’t really any if Jeb’s business either, but the business of the courts.”
LOL — remember what the Great Clinton taught us in 2000 about sticking a president’s, ahem, nose, in family affairs... re Elian Gonzalez.
Jeb was willing to make statements about what he thought about the case, but was unwilling and AFRAID to back them up.
Big Media posted articles in 2005 talking about what the armed guards would do if anyone tried to re-insert the feeding tube or try to take custody of her. They wanted Bush to try.
If the Bushes had been about letting her die, Big Media would have been on her side. All because the Bushes call themselves Republicans.
Daddy's holding a loaded gun to Junior's head and his hand is on the trigger. He tells you he needs to kill Junior before Junior turns into a flesh-eating zombie.
But you can't intervene because he's next of kin?????
