In my previously posted analogy I said that Jeb Bush could see a child drowning in a lake that has sign that was posted by a judge that says "no swimming" and he would point to that sign and say "sorry, the judge said I can't jump in". So the kid drowns.
I'm not blaming Jeb Bush for the actions of lawyers, judges or anyone else. I'm simply pointing out that he did not act. As the govenor he had the power to have her forcebly removed from the place and protected. She was a citizen of his state and she was being killed. He could have picked any of several reasons out of a hat. Or none and just did the right thing.
Jeb Bush had to decide whether another human life was worth gambling his own political one. Jeb would not "jump on the live grenade" so to speak to save the other person. You can blame that on lawyers or judges or whoever else you like but when it came down to doing the decent and manly thing in my view Jeb Bush failed. That's not the kind of leader I want. I want someone that can rise above the rest and when all is against him do the right thing no matter where the chips fall.
I agree, our Presidents should have a backbone.
Remember Carter, no thanks.
Shiavo was Jeb's Chappaquiddick.
