To: No More Gore Anymore
"There are some here who continue to attack us, and have for days now with nasty names, insisting that we are nothing more than "emotional idots and boneheads"."
I spent literally man-days on these threads, educating myself on this case and applying pressure wherever I felt it needed application.
I defended Jeb vigorously.
I never called anyone an "emotional idiot or bonehead".
For defending Jeb, I was called "deranged", a "kid" engaged in "circlejerk" logic who "couldn't get a date", and had threats to get an Admin to kick me off the board for my position that Jeb by himself had no power to intervene.
I saw a WHOLE whole lot more abuse and personal attacks coming from the anti-Jeb side than the pro-Jeb side, not just at Jeb, but at anyone who defended Jeb.
I do not expect an apology will ever be forthcoming. Some conservatives here have mastered the liberal trait of never admitting they are wrong.
Oh, and before you retaliate with "What did YOU do?", I did not send any letters to Jeb because I was wholly convinced from all his previous efforts (including passing on messages through Summer) that he was working as quickly as he could to save Terri. I -did- send over 200 form-letter emails out to all the legislature, plus a VERY long and detailed email specifically to Senator James King when it looked like he would have the power to prevent the Bill from being considered. I believe I did my part.

*raises hand*
I have applauded your posts, Qwinn.
Like I said before, I really never believed that ... *sigh*
I don't think I can repeat myself again. but, I vote in your favor regarding past posts.
Regarding the future, I hope we can all come together. As I said, if it weren't for the idealists, this (whatever it is, haven't even had time to find out what it is, typical of a freeper, right?) is a great development. I hope and pray Terri recovers.
If it weren't for devoted freepers, it would not have happened.

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 people over and over again. I for one thank you for you work.
I will not apologize for losing faith in Jeb ,however, and I am not a liberal. I do not blindly support someone just because they have a (R) after their name in a life and death case, even if they are Jeb Bush. I had heart that he would do something if he could , IMO he needed a bit of political pressure to see that it was really important to us. I do not think there is anything wrong with that. Even though he is (R), and I supported him BIG TIME in the past, I put the pressure where I thought it needed to go.
