Jeb Bush Detractors can leave their apologies here.

Posted on 10/21/2003 2:47:00 PM PDT by Pukin Dog

If the moderators will allow this thread, I would like to hear from those with courage enough to admit their mistakes in attacking Governor Jeb Bush, "suggesting that blood would be on his hands", calling him a murderer and worse with no evidence to back up their assaults.

While today is a great day, I would like to know how many people are willing to stand up and admit their wrongs?

Some may think it unnecessary, but I think a pound of flesh is in order, in a single place were we can all see and read about it. Please remove if this is out of bounds, but in all the congradulatory threads, I dont see too many folks willing to suck it up.

Jeb should send the Florida State Police to arrest any swinging so and so that disobeys this order. Judges and judases alike.

You want to label what I did as terrorism, while you insult and threaten everyone who disagrees with you ,and refuses to bow down and call you the "king of the world".

Hyperbole is not your strong suit, NMGA.

As I said, I appreciated your efforts, if you could have cooled your incessant ranting against Jeb Bush.

I get the impression you're young. You act young, anyway.

"So you are saying you called no one names, except the people you were calling names. "

Actually, no, what I think Sinkspur means is that the only people he/she (sorry) called names were those who were calling Jeb and other people names first.

I saw a lot of Sinkpur's posts. I can vouch for that.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I was repeatedly called "ignorant" and an "idiot" as well.

Sinkspur, I think you are confused. The quote: "This was not a legal decision, this was a MORAL Decision and he lacked the moral courage to act." was from "Leatherneck," not me.

Qwinn I was not refering to you. I don't remember seeing any of your posts. I am sorry if you were called names. I do not advocate that. I agree with some people who ahd your point of view. My experience was the opposite of yours, but I was called names by the same peop le over and over again. I for one thank you for you work."

And I thank both of you for your continued, thoughtful posts!

There has been a lot of name calling on this thread--these threads.

that is normal when a woman's life is on the line and the minutes are counting down.

all I can say is, I wish freepers wouldn't cut each other to shreds...

p.s ., as an aside, not that anyone cares, but I have to put my kids to bed. I can' t answer anymore posts tonight... but all I can say is ... oh never mind...

keep bickering. FR would not be the same if people didn 't bicker. :)

please forgive the interruption, PRAYERS NEEDED!!

UPDATE FROM TERRI'S VIGIL SITE ON LOCATION... by floriduh voter and drk4the1: TERRI IS NOT BEING RE-HYDRATED AT MORTON PLANT HOSPITAL IN CLEARWATER, FL. The Governor's Office is under the impression and reporting that the procedure started at 7:07 pm. While it's being reported to the family attorney that she is not going to receive anything. A telephonic hearing is scheduled to begin at 8:30 pm est with Judge Douglas Baird re: Michael Schiavo's suit against Gov. Bush and his executive order of today. Additionally, Michael S. is disputing his removal as Terri's legal guardian. Anything helpful appreciated. Contact floriduh voter or the drk screen name. We are outside fighting the mosquitoes. H E L P !!!!!

So you are saying you called no one names, except the people who you were calling names. And you want to repramand me , after burning up cyber space with your crassness for the last week.

Let me get this right, You want to give me lessons on effective communication as spit and sputter all the nastiness you can throw around.

You want to label what I did as terrorism, while you insult and threaten everyone who disagrees with you ,and who refuses to bow down and call you the "king of the world".

Well, thanks for the lesson Sinkspur, I think I put it where it belongs... in the "circular file".

Who is reporting this to the attorney?

I assume Jeb has been informed by now?

Continuing prayer will remove all obstacles. Faith will move mountains. Persevere in His Love.

I just recieved this email 4 minutes ago! Please forward.
I think I'm going to be sick.

Kevin,
They are defying the Governor's order!!!! Hospice and Morton Plant Hospital both refused to hydrate her claiming the law passed today is unconstitutional and therefore, they are afraid of being sued. Michael Schiavo's attorney is threatening to sue any doctor who provides feeding or care to her - this is unbelievable and surreal!!!! Terri is still without any food or water and is under armed guard! Totally insane - totally evil!!
In Christ always,
Debi
P.S Can anyone get this up on Free Republic ASAP??? We have a delegate from Washington calling the chief of staff at Morton Plant right now asking them if they have lost their minds....
Meanwhile I filed a formal complaint today with Ashchroft - it went to several Catholic senators as well - DC is listening...someone needs to pull off a political miracle!!

I never said Jeb was my enemy. I said he was a good, decent, man with a good heart. I said I had faith that he would do the right thing and that he he would find a way to help.... i thought he needed a bit of a push, I still think I was right about that. He had been asked many times in a nice way to step up in the past in this case. I defended him myself , with some of the Bush bashers.... I don't feel bad about losing faith in him at some point. I thought he could have acted on the Thomas More Law Center advice, I was disappointed that he did not want to take those risks, right or wrong. That is how I felt about it. Many conservatives felt the same way I did.

but then, you all know what they say about "assume"... it makes an... a** out of U and Me.

Jessie Ventura said something like, "it makes an ass out of everybody".

Seriously!

!!!!!!

The order itself -explicitly- barred any legal repercussions against anyone fulfilling the order!

This is ridiculous!

If anything can be done, anyone who needs contacting or mailing that hasn't already been made sufficiently aware of this, let me know!

If all that you just said is true (I don't know), then you're not one that needs to apologize, and you're not one of the ones that this thread is aimed at.

But trust me, there are some people out there who very much should apologize. Many have done so, and they have my respect for it.

I sat in disbelief this week end reading thread after thread of people bashing Jeb. It made me sick. He is the Governor of a state. He cannot afford to act on emotions. What you viewed as silence was him working. How could you dare believe that he was not sick over this and doing all he could? He had folks working around the clock. The personal attacks were uncalled for. I lost a lot of faith in this site after this week end. A lot of emotional non sense yet not one of us is a Governor of a state. We haven't walked in his shoes and none of us knew what he was doing. What a bunch of judgemental idiots some of you are. Jeb doesn't need supporters like this. And the crap about 2008. Jeb hasn't even said he was running. AND he wouldn't make a life and death choice based upon getting votes for something he may never run for. He is a father and husband first and governor third. Did none of you think and consider he felt deeply about this issue? If you are so quick to judge than get the balls to go out and run for office, win, become Governor THEN JUDGE!!! A lot of people here talk about their faith. Well, how Godly was it to bash such a God-fearing man in a website that the man's own children could have been reading? How they must have felt. Jeb does what we want and now we are slapping him on the back? What a load of crap. We should have had faith in him all along. The ugly side of politics sometimes is seeing how quickly supporters can turn on someone.

cannot believe...with EVERYTHING Jeb Bush has done, folks feel like he didn't do enough. He exhausted every effort. Not many would do such.

Our governor would have let her die for sure.
