Goodnight everyone. I'm signing off of 'Terri Republic' for the evening.
LOL.
Nite Indy.
History will record the Republicans as trying their best to act, and the Democrats as being disinterested or reactionary, but more like winners in this profound human tragedy playing out before the eyes of the world.
Being a winner in this tragedy can only make one a loser, longer term. While I'm disturbed at the Republicans' ineffectiveness, on balance it should be a plus for most of them.
What energy is in there in criticizing politicians for trying to stop this tragedy from playing out the way it has? None, in my opinion.
You are exactly right. that was Pearse.
I am challenging "republic" to support his false assertions in his reply to you. I think it is important to show just how these offensive lies get spread.
Democrats will use this (clips of DeLay and others)
to scare the bejeeezus out of John Q Public, regarding
Bush nominees. They're all going to be painted as
coming from the radical religious right.
We shall overcome, but it'll be a battle.
Well Torie, it's Pat Anderson.
I don't think Gibbs is the brightest bulb, either, and likely made a major foul-up this week at least. But Pat Anderson, the previous atty, was absolutely horrendous, IMO.
The choices she made, from the horrendous Hammesfahr, and the kindly but out of his league Maxwell, to this propaganda campaign to suggest foul play in Terri's collapse, Pat Anderson could be responsible for not getting the real truth out if Terri indeed is not PVS.

It's over - buried March 25, 2005
Good night, everybody. I've got company coming tomorrow and either have to clean or move.
LOL.
I opted to move,
but it's been delayed...lol.
Nite Howlin.
Mr. Pearse's report, submitted to the court on 20 December 1998 contains what appear to be objective and challenging findings. His review of the clinical record confirmed that Theresa's condition was that of a diagnosed persistent vegetative state with no chance of improvement. Mr. Pearse's investigation concluded that the statements of Mrs. Schindler, Theresa's mother, indicated that Theresa displayed special responses, mostly to her, but that these were not observed or documented.
Mr. Pearse documents the evolving disaffections between the Schindlers and Michael Schiavo. He concludes that Michael Schiavo's testimony regarding the basis for his decision to withdraw life support – a conversation he had with his wife, Theresa, was not clear and convincing, and that potential conflicts of interest regarding the disposition of residual funds in Theresa's trust account following her death affected Michael and the Schindlers – but he placed greater emphasis on the impact it might have had on Michael's decision to discontinue artificial life support. At the time of Mr. Pearse's report, more than $700,000 remained in the guardianship estate.
Mr. Pearse concludes that Michael's hearsay testimony about Theresa's intent is "necessarily adversely affected by the obvious financial benefit to him of being the sole heir at law…" and "…by the chronology of this case…", specifically referencing Michael's change in position relative to maintaining Theresa following the malpractice award.
In response to Mr. Pearse's report, Michael Schiavo filed a Suggestion of Bias against Mr. Pearse. This document notes that Mr. Pearse failed to mention in his report that Michael Schiavo had earlier, formally offered to divest himself entirely of his financial interest in the guardianship estate. The criticism continues to note that Mr. Pearse's concern about abuse of inheritance potential was directly solely at Michael, not at the Schindlers in the event they might become the heirs and also choose to terminate artificial life support. Further, significant chronological deficits and factual errors are noted, detracting from and prejudicing the objective credibility of Mr. Pearse's report.
The Suggestion of Bias challenges premises and findings of Mr. Pearse, establishing a well pleaded case for bias.
I didn't see in there where he said she was mistreated and could improve.....do you think it might be someone else to whom you are referring?
No.
You got caught making utterly false claims. I'm asking you to back them up, or admit they are as baseless as half the other lies and nonsense being spewed throughout this site.
A general hand wave to a web site chock full of dozens, if not hundreds, of pages of tinfiol propaganda is not supporting your claim. Especially since I don't think even they are stupid enough to make all those claims.
I will give you direct links to documents that prove them wrong.
Let them paint. It's another losing strategy of offering no new ideas and only ripping the status quo. ABB failed, as will this tack.
Besides, the Republicans can always paint the Democrats as championing Michael Schiavo's cause. That is most certainly a more devastating attack, and one which appears to me as necessary given the events we've witnessed in this tragedy.
Too tired.
I'll reply in the morning.
Need to sleep.
Nite y'all.
Nite. I took my meds 20 minutes ago and am fading fast here myself.
'Nite, you. : )
GOOD tagline.
Shame that it's true.
Nite TT.
Since ya'll are going to bed...I'll just cut and paste to myself....nite!

4. The GAL will select competent, neutral, clinical specialists to conduct appropriate examinations and tests to make a formal determination about neurological capacity and prognosis. The specialists' identities will be kept confidential from the public. The specialists' determination will have value to the process of gaining a common and agreed-upon understanding among the parties.
5. The GAL should be permitted and authorized to move forward with a plan, designed to gain the data regarding swallowing tests/therapy and neurological capacity in a manner consistent with items 3 and 4, above, with and through the advice and input of the parties' counsels and the Court.
6. The parties agree in principle to establish in advance, parameters for their respective actions based upon the outcomes of the examinations and tests.

At that juncture, the GAL will report on the failure of the process and the reason for the impasse.
