I think txrangerette may be somewhat disappointed by the irritation with the Bushes some of us have expressed. I understand this sentiment. This situation isn't easy at all. But, then, these events have done this sort of thing across the board, with conservatives everywhere. There are still many here at FReep who support Terri but are frustrated by the stark choice in this situation. Many conservatives are trying to find the middle ground on this issue. But there isn't any.
"irritation with the Bushes some of us have expressed"
TwF, the Congress labored mightily and gave birth to...exactly nothing, before the President signed it and before the Federal Courts ignored it. Before that Congress subpoenaed Terri and Michael and the hospice administrators, but now the hearing behind the subpoena has been cancelled and all have gone home(so I read) or scattered to the four winds. Delay? Hero of the Right. Sensenbrenner? Santorum, who said, she won't be starved on my watch?
Look at even the best of those in the system, if you are "irritated" at the Bushes, in the Legislature. Look at Jim King and the FL Senators. Look at them ALL. Except for King, who is an open Euthanasia advocate it would appear, the others including George and Jeb, don't seem to get it...yet.
This is my opinion which I covered in posts #1651 and 1693.
Which still puts me with you in the "kook fringe"...
