Jeb has alienated conservatives, pro-life Democrats, Christians, Jews, educated Black voters, Hispanics (95% Catholic) and womens rights supporters. Also everybody who believes that an ex-husband should not have the right to act as the custodian in this case (too many legal conflicts). And, he alienated Democrats who he was not being suported by anyway.
Bottom line: Jeb Bush made a BIG mistake. But Terri Schiavo is the one suffering. 'Suffering unto death,' as Heidigger or Nietsche would have put it. Do you want to bet that Jeb does not quickly enough to protect evidence after Terri dies? Losing a chance for an autopsy. Her body will be cremated by her ex-husband. Jeb will do nothing about it. And possible evidence of an alleged felony will be destroyed.
If were living in Florida today, I would be raising caine about 'governor' bush. But, sadly, I'm living in the Peoples Republic of Oregon.
Jeb Bush at best doesn't care about Terri. But he will be always remembered for this.
Hi, ex-Texan! I think Gov. Bush cares very deeply about these developments. I just think he hasn't got the stomach for a full-blown constitutional crisis in Florida. Which is probably just what Florida needs right now -- its legal system is a snakepit, from the Supreme Court down to the circuit courts. It seems clear to me he has the statutory authority to act; but I doubt he will, at this point. If he did, can you imagine the stink the Left would raise? And they would not be addressing the valid constitutional issues involved, either; they'd just try to perform a character assassination -- on Gov. Bush and Christians in general -- and confuse everybody. They'd falsely claim that their "opponents" were trying to establish a theocracy....
He hasn't alienated this conservative.
