Both Bush Boys come off looking very cowardly in this debacle.

Waiting to see the reply from the Bushbots.
Think that ain't a Pandora's Box?
Of course, if they went in with all guns blazing the lefties would claim that the chimp and his brother are nazi egomaniacs who think they can play God by forcing Terri to live when she so obviously wants to die.
There is no winning with them ... they just pick a headline, choose the opposite opinion and blame the right.
Indeed. Wait until President Hillary Rodham gets her hands on your medical records and has her minions throughout government determining who has a "quality of life" worth living. Judge Greer is an amateur.
What is that?
Yep. If you can't speak for yourself and enough people sign affidavits speaking for you, you're screwed. It's time for all of us to not only do whatever legal docs are relevant now (it always changes) but to start lining up affidavits too!
Christopher Reeve couldn't feed himself,,guess he was on 'life support' too.
To blame the Bush brothers for this is unconscionable. Instead of pointing the finger of blame where it belongs, these guys turn the gun around and aim it at our side. No wonder we never win on these issues.

And think about when euthanasing Grandma becomes the 'socially responsible' thing to do. Right now we are a fraction of an inch from that point.
So what? The Lefties are going to believe the worst of GW no matter what he does.
And when the MSM starts nattering such nonsenses, they should be reminded of Elian Gonzales, or the Branch Davidians, when it comes to Nazi egomaniacs.
When it comes to exercising executive power, the Dems seem to have the balls.

Quite frankly, we don't want state or federal intervening in any of this. That would have been an abuse of power but worse this is not just about this one case, it would eventually affect all of us and our families, keep the Bush brothers out of this. They are doing fine, thank you.
and how do YOU know they would have the "Power of the People"?
Bush won the election on his moral stand, which includes right to life of the unborn. He has the entire Christian right clout backing him that put him in office. He was in a no loose situation.
I disagree. This executive branch inaction is simply a matter of political cowardice on the part of both the Governor as well as the President.
Though I completely disagreed with the decision, Bill Clinton showed more balls when it came to his convictions in the Elian Gonzales case.
The Bush's need some damn chutzpah.
