The Terri Wellstone Memorial [FReeper Rant]

Posted on 03/29/2005 1:59:49 AM PST by Arthur Wildfire! March

Being one of the FReepers completely outraged by this matter, I think I speak for many of us, although not all of us. We are still furious at EVERYONE in government, period! And some in talk radio are on the verge of ticking us off, too.

Regarding the Bush Family:

Sometimes, people believe what they subconsciously want to believe. I've [reluctantly] concluded that neither in the Bush family is going to stick their necks out any further on this. They broke a lance on the shield of death and moved on. They were, for a brief time, part of the solution. Now, they are off the field.

Sadly, after all these days, if the governor took action now, and if she recovered, then whatever damage remains in her, kidneys for example, that would haunt him. He already burned his bridge behind him on this.

So, it's just like the 90s all over, where politicians run scared from some old fashioned push poll, thinking the Old Media is 'all-powerful', and then bending an ear to advisors who think the same way.

CONCLUSION REGARDING TERRI: No member of the government will save her, period. I appreciate the efforts of all the talk radio hosts, with the obvious exception of Neal Boortz, who, as far as I know, never mentioned the gagged witnesses, the tape that could well be her voice, etc. Michael Savage was the only one with the best way of looking at this. Government failed Terri, period.

AND: We must be careful at this point. Some of us want to 're-channel' everyone's energy, as though it's some kind of force to be 'tapped into'. This energy is like ball lightning so long as she's alive. We appreciate rants. We appreciate concern for HER. We appreciate love, even sarcasm about Death. We do not appreciate manipulation. Later, we'll take the 'long view'. When she passes, you bet. But so long as there is hope for HER, anything that tastes like Wellstone tripe is sickening.

--- FReeegards...

No Randi, YOU have it backwards. If you and I are on opposite sides of this then you apparently think Judges should be have authority to create law from the bench. Judges are supposed to uphold law, but they think they are above that.

Answer me this..., does a person have the right to life under the United States Constitution? Is there ANY documented proof that Terri doesn't WANT to live? Or are YOU taking the word of her "husband" who is living with another "wife" and has children with her.

Sorry pal, but if you're an attorney, then yes, I am on the side that says there are too many of you in the US and you are nothing but another contributor to a litigious society. Might as well call it another form of "legal" welfare, because solid citizen taxpayers and law abiding services and goods consumers end up paying for your contrived and continuous Bravo Sierra.

Circular firing squad? Is that what you call it when folks turn on their own?

As Rush suggested today, neither the President or Gov Bush wants to be a dictator. They've done all they can within the rule of law - it's simply that the law is insufficient to save her.

So Rush said that? Good to know.

Oh sorry. I was agreeing with your statement: "Put the blame where the blame belongs .. at Felos at her husband" instead of at the Bush's. To aim our anger at those on our own side is like forming a circle and shooting at each other, a circular firing squad.

I don't know where I picked up that phrase, but it seemed appropriate.
