GOP leaders unlikely to pursue new avenues to keep Schiavo alive

I saw a threat to the republic when Conservatives threw out conservative principles for this issue - out went state's rights, separation of powers, the sanctity of marriage (remember that conservatives? What do you think it means to give away a daughter in marriage?), but the last straw was when Freepers polling over 70% saying they want the president, congress and gov. Bush to violate their oaths of office and go beyond their constitutional powers/limits and do everything possible to save Terri. That scared me. These are conservatives? This is what the movement has devolved into? GOD SAVE THE REPUBLIC!!

PS: I won't mention the sheer hypocrisy of Bush who signed a law in Texas that makes a mockery of all his posturing on this case. Sorry to sund so harsh.

No Mark.
The Nazi stuff does NOT apply,
no matter how you try to twist it.

[lugsoul]

Speaking of clowns.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Meantime, public opinion of Congress is hovering at or near Jimmy Carter lows.

[Drango]

The same 80% of FReepers wanted the Federal government/courts OUT of the Alabama 10 commandment case. (I'm way too lazy to go look up those threads)

[Wolfstar]

Is Klayman a joke or what?

He's worse than that. He's a swindler. Like P.T. Barnum, he knows there's a sucker born every minute, and his goal in life is to snatch as many bucks from as many suckers as possible.

[Destro]

HYPERBOLE.

Did you misread my post?

Judge Napolitano just said,

No matter who would be appointed guardian, the tube would stay out."

Per Terri's wishes.

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

Once again the executive and legislative branches bow to the ultimate authority of the judicial branch. What spineless twerps.

[lugsoul]

Nope. Just read it in conjunction with the one to which you replied.

The prior poster said that all anyone hears is "clowns" like Delay - you responded by mentioning the involvement of Messrs. Terry, Klayman, and Keyes.

[Wolfstar]

Jeb Bush has one last clear shot to act and save this woman's life. So does the President. If they don't, they will have reduced themselves as leaders.

If you knew me, you'd realize I normally make every effort to reply to people respectfully, and to engage in reasoned discussion. However, there are exceptions.

You, sir or madam, are an idiot.

[the Deejay]

I pegged Klayman (ages ago) as a phony.

(I was right.)

[plewis1250]

You know, that makes me sick. To think that a mentally disabled woman being starved to death is a "fools' errand"... What kind of human being are you? The pro-life agenda will not end, just as the anti-homosexual agenda will not end. Our earthly life begins at conception, and ends at death. If it is cut short any time before this by another human being, it is murder. I see this issue as a junction point for our nation. We must choose to go down one of two roads: one leads to our success, one leads to our demise. I believe that if this woman dies, our demise will be imminent. I'm not sure where you stand in regards to an Almighty, but I can tell you with a fact that He exists, and when we are KILLING the innocent, be it a baby whose brains are being drilled out by a doctor at birth, or a court ordered starvation of a mentally disabled woman. The last society to define "Quality of Life" and the taking of that life based upon that quality was Germany circa 1930s to the 1940s. The empowered dictator ordered the extermination of millions of Jews, mentally disabled patients, and homosexuals. To not believe life needs to be preserved is disgusting and totally uncalled for...

[hobbes1]

hey have also blocked an attempt by the legislature to make that law just

And by virtue of what Authority? By my count that leaves them in a 2 against 1 situation.

[the Deejay]

Are you advocating Jeb Bush break the law and go to jail?

I doubt he's willing to do that for one citizen or anyone else.

[Destro]

Sadly, Terri is not disabled - she is in a PVS - not the same thing.

[onyx]

ROTFLOL!
Well stated.
Bravo!

Have you seen the TV feed from down there? All that's missing is the cotton candy vendor and the guy that guesses your weight.
