Water For Terri

It's just a hunch, I have no evidence. I have no inside information, accept what I intuit from what I see.
The Pubs made a bad move with the Federal Legislation; GWB realized that too late.
He could not storm the hospice for 2 reasons: (1) The media would have eaten him alive as a police state Hitler; (2) there are police offers guarding the hospice who have a duty also, and there could have been bloodshed. The worst of all worlds.
The same applied to Jeb Bush-
I believe that GWB, Jeb and all the pubs backed off because, if they didn't, the media would have roasted them- and public support wasn't behind them. Pres was at 43% approval.
So, the most underestimated politician in history, started working back channels through Lieberman and Jackson. I think GWB persuaded Jesse to go to Flordia.
I think they now have the votes to pass Fla. Legislation, it's just a matter of getting the wording right- so to appease the miserable Fla. Supreme Court.
The DEMS will get the credit for saving Terri, the Bushs will be seen as weakened. BUT GWB will have saved Terri's life.
Hopefully, Terri can hang on. But, in my heart, I think we do our greatest President an injustice and disservice when we say he gave up on Terri- He's sacrficed to take a political beating, to save Terri's life.
Underestimated again!
NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER!
When you are speaking of the media roasting him are you speaking of the way they roasted Kathrine Harris for standing her ground and not backing down?
She did not care she did the right thing and that is what this is about!

"I think the pro death crowd didn't expect Terri to hold on this long and Americans have had a lot longer to think about this than was expected."
The urine output lie has to get out, as does the autopsy lie and immediate cremation order from 2002 authorized by Greer, along with the prevention of the Schindlers from attending services in the event she were to die by Felos.
You don't want to know. Re-read his previous posts. It's quite obvious.
Please clarify. I'd to hear more.
What have you been smoking?! Bush and Jackson do not talk!
Jackson has said some horrible things about Bush for years! He defamed him while Bush was governor.
Bush's poll numbers are low, because his supporters have turned on him.
You don't want to know. Re-read his previous posts. It's quite obvious.
That's exactly why I won't bother.
WHO suggested that?
PPeyton,
I see you like pink. I'll pass, thanks.

"Jeb Bush is also an idolater, no longer a Christian, because his god is the State of Florida, to whose total, absolute authority over human life Bush is willing to offer, in homage, Terri Schiavo's life. Bush has faced a choice: to be a Christian, or to occupy (without facing a crisis) a position within the God-State of Florida. He has chosen his god, the State"
Someone once posted that last week was Governor Jeb's St Thomas Moore moment. I believe that is accurate. In other words, I second your take. Would love to believe King on GW, but I have firm doubts? Anyone know a posible time ine for even passing more legistlation?
GWB is a collossal disapointment. He failed to act and save this women. He wouldn't or couldn't take the heat.
Warrior,
I hope Terri hangs on, because I think Fla Senate will pass constitutional legislation to reinsert her feeding tube, under the facts and circumstances of this case.
Never give up! Never give up! Never! Never! Never! Churchill
Caroline,
I think its a basic given, the Media roasts conervatives, Christians, and Pubs.
God Bless
Never give up! Never give up! Never! Never! Never! Churchill
Does anybody have handy the names of these 9 legislators?
Congress enacted legislation which was signed into law by President Bush. The intent of the law was clear. Terri was to have the feeding tube reinserted, and the evidence was to be re-examined. From scratch. Judge Whittemore ignored the clear intent of the law and came up with his own interpretation.
Why couldn't President Bush have declared that the judge's interpretation was not what he understood when he signed the bill, and then have taken action to enforce the law. What is he, a rubber stamp for Congress?
President Bush has no moral excuse, or constitutional excuse for dropping the ball on this one.
Had Terri a purple finger, all this might have been avoided.
