They're coming for Jeb.

Maybe he can borrow some guards from Governor Greer...

The only reason that I can think of why no one is giving her water by mouth is that she may not be able to swallow it.

I agree with you though -- choking to death on a sip of water is preferable to withering away from dehydration.

[Petronski]

Free Republic is now no better than Democratic Underground.

Now who's hysterical?

[TAdams8591]

And now we wait.....for Terri to die!!!!

Thanks to those who have condemned her to a gruesome death and those who refuse to stop them.

You know the difference between "asking questions" and being rude and crude---

That grilled cheese sandwich comment was "it" for me---

I totally lost any respect I had for you with that one, and the poster that you made that remark to didn't deserve your hateful, crude attitude---

Worse yet, when the poster let you know how the remark made her/him feel, you further insulted and degraded their feelings---

You seem to be of the opinion that feelings are stupid or at the least not worthy of posting on this website---I continue to be a FReeper BECAUSE we are allowed to anonymously express our emotions, because some of us might not have an outlet in our "real lives" to do so---and your attitude hurts, unnecessarily, IMHO

[Chad Fairbanks]

I believe you believe that. I also believe you couldn't be more wrong.

So, you think the voters in Florida won't work for change? They'll just 'let it go'? Well, doesn't that mean that you and I, and other FReepers could take a few minutes out of our busy schedule, and work with the Florida FReepers to help bring about change, or should we just sit here and continue arguing about it? We keep doing that, and you're right, nothing will change.

Thank you! I was looking all over for this yesterday. The collusion here is palpable.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

On that we agree. Jeb's in a rotten position, so is the President. I know their hearts are breaking right now, just like ours.

I don't know what all their options are, but I know they're trying.

[Glenmerle]

We didn't step out in faith.

I disagree when you say "we." Praying and waiting patiently sometimes takes more faith than acting. For probably 99.9% of us, prayer was both our only option and the best thing we could do.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Whatever. I'm not going to lose any sleep because you dont' respect me. I agreed the comment was uncalled for. I made the comment out of frustration, and I'm not perfect. That's all I can offer.

If it's not good enough, oh well.

[presently no screen name]

I didn't see the post about the UN - perhaps it was making a point. Don't know.

Common sense - and anything resembling that has not shown by greer. When one sees TOTAL neglect and defiance to laws - in a murder/death matter - I would be shocked if I DIDN'T see emotions rise - like never before. We have never been in this situation - it is ALL to frustrating and that is an understatement. In fact, since these are "new waters" for us and Jeb - it seems like we are put in a frozen state....by, ironically, The Sunshine State.

[EternalVigilance]

I want Terri Schiavo to live, but this misguided effort to take down George W. and Jeb Bush is wrong.

I don't want to take them down.

I just want them to fulfill their oath now.

If the Governor acts now, I will be glad to sit down with his political people tomorrow and offer my own support for him to run in '08 for POTUS.

If he doesn't, I will be leaving the Republican Party and taking as many people with me as possible.

We will have reached the point where it truly doesn't matter which current party is in power.

[workerbee]

Let's face it. Terri Schiavo could jump out of that bed and recite the Gettysburg Address, and Greer would exclude it from the record.

May God take her soon, that's all I ask of Him now. And that He comfort her poor mother to endure this crime against her child. The helpless rage she must be going through, I can hardly bear to imagine it.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Just going with the crowd, Petronski. It's easier to act hysterical than it is to be rational, so screw it. I'll just start being like everyone else...

[F.J. Mitchell]

Mr Fairbanks seems unable to understand that fact.

[workerbee]

The only reason that I can think of why no one is giving her water by mouth is that she may not be able to swallow it.

Well think again. The reason is because Greer wrote an order forbidding it.

[Chad Fairbanks]

I agree with that. But to deny that it's even happening, well...

[didi]

Okay, I didn't see all of that. The emotional,personal insults are commonplace enough from many in this forum, especially when the topic is a hot one. Maybe it's fun and I am missing out.

I was just surprised when I saw that post. And you are better than that.
