Howard Dean: Kill the Helpless - Gems from the Dem candidate

Has Dr. Howard Dean forgotten the Hippocratic oath he took? If he had his way, Terri Schiavo would suffer an agonizing death by starvation.

Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and the Legislature should be "embarrassed" for passing a law to prevent the brain-damaged woman from being slowly put to death according to her husband's desire, said the Democrat front-runner, who professed to be "appalled."

"I'm tired of people in the Legislature thinking that they have an M.D. when what they really have is a B.S.," he said this week in Tallahassee.

As usual, self-described feminist groups were silent about yet another politician calling for a woman to be killed according to her husband's wishes ... for the crime of being inconvenient and expensive. Does NOW think Mrs. Schiavo is mere chattel?

Years ago we used to work in nursing homes and can tell you they are full of helpless people dependent on feeding tubes. If Dean wants them all dead he'll be too busy to do anything else.

Let's hope that, should he ever be sworn in as president, he doesn't abandon that oath as well.

Tell her you will write her out of your will

No. Manipulative.

You need to sit her down and knock some sense into her.

I tried, but she probably sees me as a loser. Somebody got to her.

Tell her that there are other people her age that don't allow themselves to be brainwashed by liberal stupidity. Show her the error in her ways.

I did tell her some things. She is going to have to learn the hard way. When you reach a certain point, you learn to shut up because it only makes them more determined.

You can do it!

She is illegitimate. If I hadn't undergone a radical change of conscience, I would have manipulated her teenage mom . . .but I stood fast in the face of great difficulties to help her have a chance.

Needless to say, I feel betrayed. I'll have to get over it and just love her anyway. Someday she will see where their ideology is leading.

I'll tell her that the guy would want to off me if I become a burden on society. Maybe she would do that to me. Sobering thought.

Yes, I'll pray. I'll also pray not to let it get to me.

They are mainly run by leftist brainwashers...being in the school system at the moment (law, not medicine) I can attest to that.

I love that photo. I think I'll foil wrap one of my boonie caps for better protection.

Hanging tampons on it boosts protection.

Is anyone willing to attest that you once watched the movie "The Candidate" with Dean, after which he made the comment, "I wouldn't want to live like that!"?

If so, there are at least 3 medical experts we can count on to agree to the diagnosis of persistent vegetative state whenever called upon. If we file suit in Pinellas County, Florida, we could probably have this particular hypocritic oaf locked in a room without food and water before the ink is dry on the Judge's order.

The full brim on my boonie hat allows a lot of tampon room. Is one brand better than another? Do you keep the applicators intact? Plastic of cardboard applicators, which is best?

The tampons provide better reception, and the number of them on the hat indicate one's rank within The Organization.

My class was offered several oaths and voted on which we'd all swear including a couple variations on the Hippocratic Oath. Unfortunately an English translation of the original Hippocratic Oath, Apollo and all - my choice - lost. I forget what non-Hippocratic oath I actually took although I know I have it stashed somewhere.
