Schiavo's Brother Pleads With Democrat (and gives audio CD of Terri)
Newsday ^ | 3/20/05 | LAURIE KELLMAN

Posted on 03/20/2005 8:53:27 PM PST by KidGlock

WASHINGTON -- A House Democrat trying to stop legislation backed by Terri Schiavo's family turned down a request to reconsider his position from her brother when the two ran into each other Sunday in the House Press Gallery.

A little awkwardly, Bobby Schindler and Rep. James P. Moran, D-Va., shook hands. Schindler then launched into a passionate defense of the legislation. The bill would effectively take Schiavo's fate out of Florida state courts, where judges ordered the feeding tube removed on Friday, and allow Schiavo's parents to take their case to a federal judge.

As reporters and photographers gathered, he handed Moran a CD and urged him to consider footage of his sister.

"She's doing the best that she can trying to speak to my dad," in the footage, Schindler, a high school science teacher, told Moran. "I urge you, in fact I am begging you to at least listen to these videos of my sister communicating with my father."

"I am happy to take a look at that," Moran replied. "But my greater concern is not with the immediate facts of this case as much as it is the precedent, of overruling the state courts, of politicizing a tragic family situation."

Family members believe that the footage and audio of Terri, 41, will convince opponents of the bill that she is not in a persistent vegetative state as her husband, Michael and several doctors say, but able to interact and emote.

Looks like the MSM is picking up the audio CD story.

Wonder if they will have the guts to play it.

Moran is an imbecile. Isn't his biggest legislative quest his desire to eliminate the excess Viagra ads he sees on TV?

Moran proposes curbs on broadcast ads for Viagra
Va. lawmaker's bill would limit airing to late-night hours

BY MATTHEW BARAKAT
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Mar 20, 2005

WASHINGTON - Commercials hawking Viagra and similar drugs would be banned from broadcast television and radio, except during late-night hours, under legislation submitted last week by a Virginia congressman.

Rep. James. P. Moran, D-8th., said he is fed up with the barrage of commercials pitching drugs for erectile dysfunction and their increasingly prurient content.

You should hold off on this stuff until the congress' effort has been complete.

Nope, he has latched on to the Kerry model and is hoping to spend decades and fortunes without ever having to actually be held responsible for anything.

"but my concern is not with the immediated facts of this case"

Translate: Hey, we said we'd kill her and we meant it! We don't care if Terri is aware of what's going on or not.

Neighbors in the prosperous Del Rey residential area of Alexandria weren't surprised earlier this year when police cars showed up at the home of Democratic Congressman James Moran and his wife of 11 years.

It wasn't the first time the cops had shown up.

"There was always a lot of screaming going on there," said one neighbor. "They fought like cats and dogs."

Mary Moran called the Alexandria police that June night and said her husband was attacking her. The police came, talked to both, and left.

No charges were filed.

The next day, Mary Moran filed for divorce, saying - among other things - that the five-term Congressman had abused her.

And the problem with that is??? Get rid of the rest of the stupid sex adds too. However I do agree with you, Moran is a moron, never voted for him when I lived in Alexandria.

This case proves the Dem's have a deep philosophical commitment to death as a lifestyle choice.

Moran also has a Jewish problem.

Lawmaker under fire for saying Jews support Iraq war

"I should not have singled out the Jewish community and regret giving any impression that its members are somehow responsible for the course of action being pursued by the administration, or are somehow behind an impending war," Moran said.

Every single death cultist of the democrap party that spoke tonight should be replaced in office if the CD shows ANY cognitive ability ... because every one of those bastards dehumanized Terri in their politicization of Terri's state ordered murder. It was a despicable spectacle even for these current demoncrats.

A man who lives with a woman and has two children by her I would think legally is her common law husband. If he claims also to be married to Terri he should be prosecuted as a bigamist. If he left the woman he is living with I would think legally she could sue him for divorce and get alimony if called for.
