I've never heard of King before this. He's obviously using Terri's murder to make a name for himself. Every Republican in Florida should work from this point on to ensure this RINO assh*le is currently serving his last term.

"I think Terri is better off in heaven than in that bed," King said. "It's going to be the will of God."

I think King, Greer, et al. are better off in the unemployment line. It's going to be the will of the people. Prison would be optimal but there aren't enough spines to put them there.

It's not the will of the people. It's the will of God.

He has a financial interest in hospices, I think

"'I think Terri is better off in heaven than in that bed,' King said. 'It's going to be the will of God.'"

Who is King to judge where Terri will be "better off"? I don't know what God's will is with regard to Terri (and neither does King), but I believe her death will be the direct result of the actions (or inactions) of Michael Schiavo and his attorneys, the various judges involved and legislators like King.

"Sen. Ron Klein ... (said) The radical wing of the Republican Party has taken control of the issue ...", and it is implied in the article that the radical wing consists of Christian groups.

I, for one, do not consider myself a "radical". Nor am I especially religious. In addition, I do not consider Christians to be "radical"; if they are, then most of America is.

If anyone could do anything about this matter, it is the FL legislature. It is Republican controlled, but that doesn't mean much. I am predicting that the FL GOP will suffer tremendously over this.

Was Rosa Parks breaking the law when she sat in the front of the bus?

It's time to break the law!

Not only did he vote no, he told a reporter that, in essence, Terri is better off dead. "I think Terri is better off in heaven than in that bed," King said, in the article reproduced below. "It's going to be the will of God."




Uh, the senator is wrong... apparently Terri's death is the will of Sen King, who just THINKS he is God.

Yeah, I could never figure out that conspiracy angle... Apparently this hospice is making 80 grand a year on her, a nd all they do is keep a feeding tube attached to her.

Someone HAS figured it out ...

http://www.theempirejournal.com/0313055_schiavogate_the_big_cove.htm

... now I understand ... If you screw someone over, you know like misuse funds in a ward's trust account, and they DIE, they cant sue you for damages. And you get the estate too... So Greer has a clubby system of protecting corrupt guardianships, and will do everthing in his power to protect it. *Everything*.

Pro-death hospices are quite convenient element in that disgusting 'ecosystem'.

Isn't it interesting that Greer is also a Republican.

Did the Invaders from Mars hit Florida when we weren't
looking?

I do not agree with "Christians", or those claiming to be such using such tactics. No wonder we get the names used against us that we do. Just call up and say that you are a concerned citizen and don't threaten or make statements that sound hypocritical. No wonder many are getting tired of this. This makes all Christians look like a bunch of nutcases. Good grief! Whatever happened to just stating the facts and asking the person(s) to do the right thing? Why do we have to use threats and disgusting things such as "I hope you drown in your own vomit?" That's real pro-life, isn't it? This hurts all of us, as it makes the other side even more adamnant to have their own way just to 'show us'! What have we gained then? Maybe we should realize that by these tactics we are contributing to the death of Terri, not helping.

In the meantime, we should be praying, holding prayer vigils, whatever we can do for Terri. What a weekend for this to happen! What a symbol this is, really! Think about it. Fasting today would be a good exercise for Terri, and for us...to think about her plight and to experience what she is going through.

I do not believe that Jeb Bush is going to do anything.
He is impotent.

The difference between us and them is we just say"we hope you drown in your own vomit", the deathocrats ghouls of the hospices actally do drown people in their own vomit.

> It's not the will of the people. It's the will of God.

It's not God who issued an order for Terri's feeding tube to be removed. Rogue "defacto governor" JINO Greer has enabled her miserable excuse of a husband on his quest. Now, after at least a decade of trying, it looks like HINO, with Felos' and Greer's assistance and participation, will finally succeed.
Greer has subjected Terri to a civil order of execution. Jeb Bush has the right and could invoke the time-honored (and unreachable by the judiciary) gubernatorial right of pardon. It's only a matter of whether Jeb has the backbone and will. Or is there some unstated, hidden agenda in operation which requires that Terri die? Certainly the HINO/Felos/Greer triumvar have an undisclosed-to-the-public agenda. I suspect that Jeb Bush has a different undisclosed agenda. All avenues appear directed toward Terri dying.
