I listened to the debate last night. Without a doubt the Republicans were great and most of the Democrats rambled. However, I do not believe anything would have been done if Freepers and others like us hadn't overwhelmed their offices with emails and calls.

It looks like the Senate is dragging it's feet. When the senate finally votes on Terri's bill, it may be too late. But they will be able to tell us, "We tried, but we had to get a good night's rest and then fight about the bill". In the meantime, Terri is getting weaker and weaker.

I'm still disgusted with the Senate's action and the fact that Jeb Bush has not use his bully pulpit to intervene.
I never saw Jeb Bush get on any of the shows to bring Terri's case to the American public. He used his time yesterday to talk about health care, but not a peep about Terri.

What would you like Jeb to do that he can do which will bring about a resolution? Name it!

What can he legally do?

Bully pulpit is hogwash when his hands are tied. He is wise to choose his battles and use of it.

The Bush-bashers are doing nothing more than using Terri as an end to their means. You want to see a crime? A diservice to Terri? Use her grave as an opportunity to (ignorantly) bash Jeb. That will be the crime here. I am all for helping her, but I despise the ignorant attacks of the right on the Bush family that has been going on now for 3 years. Those people are doing what the Democrats do. If Jeb was wrong, I could see pointing out his fault. But he isn't wrong, and he is doing what he can.

Oh, and please let us know - factually - that they didn't work at all on the Schiavo case this weekend. Thanks.

Look, I understand how you feel but we must remember that in Florida we have some really BAD demos. Bush is the strongest GOP we have had in years in Florida.

I know, you think he could have done more..... but he has some loosey demo appointed judges in this state and it's really hard to fight them the way the Florida laws are written.

Jeb is the best gov. in FLorida history as far as I am concerned.
