The premise of this article and the statement I wrote are about politicians doing the right thing even when it is unpopular.

Yes, that is your premise. But not the article's premise.

Read again:

he won't send in the National Guard - as Reagan (and Mack) would. And that's why, unlike Reagan, he will never be President.

Therefore, since Jeb won't sent in the troops, he could never be elected president.

You wrote that "... the premise of THIS ARTICLE is that Jeb would be more electable if he sent in armed troops to the hospital."

While that can be argued, my point is that the article is about more than the narrow troops or no troops issue on which you focus. It is about politicians knowing the right thing to do and doing it. Perhaps you might want to follow your own advice and read the article: Mack is my weather vane. Whatever he says is what the American people think - in their hearts.

Once they know the facts, the American people know in their hearts right from wrong. When people begin to realize what was done to Terri Schiavo, they will hold politicians accountable
