[Real Cynic No More]

I find it very ironic that those who are bashing the Bush's for following the law are the very ones who felt that Clinton needed to be kicked out of office for violating the law.

It seems we're only interested in "if you don't agree with the law, change it" when it's the opposition doing the violating. If we allow our emotions to override the rule of law, we're no better than they are, and I find that sickening. The very ones who want conservative judges who will uphold the constitution appear to be the ones who wanted the administration and the judges to violate the law in this mess.

I don't like that Terri Shiavo had to die. I am of the opinion that Michael Schiavo, at a minimum, contributed to her initial condition which put her in the state she was in. I think it's a shame that there appears to be no way to go after him.

I think the reason the Dems are so successful is that they don't eat their own like the conservatives do.

Jeb Bush didn't "follow the law," he allowed a judge to diminish his constitutional authority as governor.

"I think the reason the Dems are so successful is that they don't eat their own like the conservatives do."

"I think the reason the Dems are so successful is that they don't hold any strong principles so they never strongly disagree"

I think this might be what you really meant??

I think the reason the Dems are so successful...

Well you just lost all credibility, or any sense of reality.

What I find ironic is that in both cases the innocent party got screwed royally.

You're making the same kind of argument that the pro death crowd makes about abortion, that the pro life crowd is hypocritical in that we are against abortion, but for the death penalty. One kills the innocent, the other kills the guilty. There is nothing hypocritical about about it.

Clinton screwed an innocent boy, Bush could have saved an innocent woman from death. There is nothing hypocritical about being in favor of one action and against the other.

You took the words right out of my mouth. Good thing, too, because you put it more succinctly than I ever could have.

The only point where we might disagree is in that ridiculous order by Greer that denied anyone from trying to nourish and hydrate Terri by "natural" means. That is the link in the chain that I can't be convinced could be seen (by any rational person) as "lawful" never mind humane.
