Yeah. I read that too. My comment on that is that it is possible to both be a "vile DEM operative" and be concerned that your Aunt Mae's life is being improperly shortened. THose who bring his politcal status into a discussion of the reports of his Aunt's health, etc. are not clarifying the discussion of his aunt's health.
As for being neutral in this case, no good/bad guy, I suspect this family is fractured regardless of how long Mae lives. Mae's sister is stressed out, as is Ken, so "something" is going on, and that "something" isn't good.
My sentiments happen to coincide more with Ken than with Gaddy. My principles are pretty clear if you read my posting history on this and the Shiavo cases.
What may prove interesting is the extent of help Mullinax has provided over say the last ten years, when it appeared that Gaddy was her support mechanism. Also note that Mae's sister aligned herself with Gaddy in the guardianship issue with the judge.
