If Terri dies, we can be sure that the judges have won, for if impeachable offenses have not been committed, then there are no impeachable offenses.
If Jeb Bush does not go to Terri's rescue, then his political aspirations will be as lifeless as Terri.
GWB and conservatives will suffer. I don't need to explain why.
The merciless starvation of a useless eater moves us to a position of having one more thing in common with a universally hated regime, a comparison which the liberals have anticipated and started denying a decade ago.
We heard all of this stuff during the whole Elian Gonzalez ordeal.
On the one hand we had people saying that if the Republicans couldn't stop Elian from being taken back to Cuba, they would never vote Republican ever again.
On the other hand, you had people saying that Republicans were going to lose votes because they were sticking their nose in a family issue.
Keep in mind at the time, we had a Democratic President and the GOP had not controlled all three legislative branches in ages.
Let's look at what has happened since then.
President Bush got elected twice.
Republicans now control both the House and Senate as well.
What does that say to me? It says that even if people may disagree, at the end of the day, they will still respect those who act on principles. And as for those who are upset that the Republicans didn't do enough? Who are they going to vote for, the Democrats?
Can Jeb do this legally?
I can understand the frustration. Believe me, I'm angry as heck over this and would love to wring Michael Schiavo's neck. But I'm not sure what this kind of attitude is going to accomplish other than a short lived satisfaction for having exacted revenge. If there's something more to it, can you explain it to me?
