The parents of Terri Schiavo/Schindler just made an impassioned appeal to Florida Governor Jeb Bush to save their dying daughter. Mrs. Schiavo was obviously tired and spoke in a restrained manner, but her husband, Robert, although looking terribly fatigued, used very strong language and placed much of the blame for his daughter's seven days of "torture" directly on Jeb Bush, blaming him for the inaction that is letting Terri be murdered by a "tyrannical" judiciary.
Mr.Schindler says that the Governor has the power to end their ordeal with a "stroke of the pen" and if he had courage he would do it.
He was speaking FOR the Schindlers, though, and it is reasonable to say it came from them - he IS their mouthpiece...
Their lawyer is a clown if he said that in court.
If I had been Bob Schindler, David Gibbs would be out on his ear. Randall Terry too. He's made some pretty outrageous remarks ever since he hitched his little wagon to the Schindler case.
Well, it'll be Free Republic again soon. It's on break right now.
This whole mess is so painful, isn't it? It's just not bringing out the best in some people. ;-)
It's no wonder they're in the position they're in, if that's the kind of argument they're putting forth.
HUH? DUH?
Picking up after you. :-)
That's my point!! I don't care if it's Randall Terry, or David Gibbs, they're speaking on behalf of the Schindlers!

It seems to have transcripts of every hearing and pleading.
No it doesn't .. it's a comment from the lawyer
Thank you for the link
They'd be better off if Klayman were their attorney. And that's bad.
No, but I'm not going to use him as a convenient political scapegoat at the behest of the Extreme Right Wing, who are using these poor people as pawns in a sick political game...
Which is what any sane rational person would do.
David Gibbs is speaking on behalf of the family.
Schindler has as much power as Jeb at this point: Grab a gun and force your way into the hospital room.
They needed better lawyers IMO
Do tell.
As a Floridian- I worked to elect Jeb as my governor and were I given the opportunity to do so again, I would.
We either have principles, or we do NOT. When life doesn't go the way we think it SHOULD- is that the time to abandon the princples we so easily speak when it's going our way?
Yeah! Why doesn't he DO SOMETHING?? NOW!! GROW A PAIR!!! < /crazedfreeper >

Randall Terry just said live on Foxnews that Jeb was on his way over this morning to get Terri with a team of people, and were told by Greer that if he attempts to take custody of Terri there will be police force stopping you. He said at that point Jeb BLINKED!! he got SCARED! 3/24/05
