Opposing lawyers share thoughts on Schiavo case

The only issue that David Gibbs can ever remember Jesse Jackson and Rush Limbaugh agreeing on was the fact that Terri Schiavo should remain alive.

...

Gibbs called removing Schiavo's feeding tube "barbaric and uncivilized." Florida law does not allow the starvation of animals and the constitution does not allow the starvation of convicted murderers, he said.

...

Felos said faith-based organizations, religious leaders, priests and rabbis distorted the facts in the Schiavo case.

WILMA: Jeb pre-positioned according to the tracking maps. The one time he should not have accepted responsibility for something, he does. Go figure.

Re: The Pinellas County Survey. They've never done one before re: the sheriff's dept. Coats knew he was inheriting a mess from former Sheriff Rice who is now running for Florida's Attorney General. no, no, no.

Let's contain Pinellas County's crooks here. Don't let them near the state capitol.

Re: The Survey. The St. Pete Times will probably publish the results of the survey which will show what a shangri-la Pinellas County is. The Sheriff's Dept. had their own person at Hospice helping to ensure that Terri would be killed without any catches. Deputy Campbell got a promotion for helping with Terri's death.

The survey will be propaganda.

There are many demons that need undoing. If one falls, they all fall down. That's why we're still here until the mainstream media, lurkers and freepers get it.

The United States should not push a DEATH CARE SYSTEM. In the long run, it is not going to be cheaper because how many corrupt officials and HINOs can the nation's jails hold, feed and clothe for life?

GLENDA HOOD resigned as Florida's Secretary of State. Maybe she couldn't sleep at night. She must know that JUDGE GEORGE GREER'S 2004 campaign was ILLEGAL, violated judicial canons and florida statutes.

GLENDA HOOD bears responsibility for not holding the Fla Elections Commission or the Judicial Qualifications Commission to account.

The fallout from the murder of Terri has only just begun.

Only just begun for RINOS like Jim King. As Florida's red state shade fades to beige.....

They'd be left as residue after the cremation, it would be amazing if he didn't do it, it's just such a classy thing to do you know.

Propaganda indeed. Just the fact that they are taking a survey shows there is 'talk' and they want to squash it. They are all so transparent. Ugh!

INTERNET RADIO ALERT: JUNE MAXIM wil be on the radio tonight at 10 pm est here: http://www.rollye.net/

HOSPICE UPDATE: They have torn up the entire street that Hospice Woodside is on. It's full of potholes and there is more plastic orange fencing. In other words, it's a mess. They did paint the building a shade of cream. Otherwise, it looks like hell. Seriously.

I went by there yesterday after a rain and said a quick prayer and then thought about the chaos caused by Florida's death care system. I thought about what they did to poor Terri and the Schindlers.

It is a bumpy ride to and from hospice woodside but we already knew that.

A good hospice organization is: www.hospicepatients.org

A survey before the 2006 election. There will be lots of blank spaces. If anyone stood by while Terri starved, they don't get my vote. These candidates will be saying how pro-life they are. It's not possible if you kill even one which they did.

[russesjunjee]

They can paint hotel hell a different color if they like, but cosmetics will never hide or wash away Terri's innocent blood from Hospice Woodside or from the hands of those inside who helped murder her.

Should be receiving my copy of Cheryl's book in the next few days. It has been shipped. Anxious to get it.

With friends like Mikey, who needs enemies? Maybe he can campaign for a few more.

Michael Schiavo endorses Kaine

(this includes Ohioan from Florida's ping list, update to 9/30.)

[presently no screen name]

Right. If they are capable of standing by while ONE disabled person is being dehydrated and starved they will do it to many. NO BACKBONE, NO VOTE!

[floriduh voter]

Florida commits murder all the time and who's counting???? The death lawyers are counting their big windfalls, not the people forced out.

Believe me, hospice woodside looks like the hellish place it is. The orange plastic fencing now with the road all torn up, makes it look like hell. I hope they feel every bump when they go to work there in their little ghoulmobiles.

The good ones got fired already.

Did 'revoked' living will kill communicative man?

Bishop Robert Lynch was the main celebrant for the "Red Mass" today (a Mass where local judges and attorneys are present). Lynch wore blood red vestments - an appropriate color for the bishop who has has Terri's blood on his hands.

During his homily, Lynch said that his favorite movie is "A Man for All Seasons", a movie about Saint Thomas More. St Thomas was beheaded by King Henry VIII.

Lynch spoke about defending the faith like Thomas More did, yet he didn't have the courage to defend Terri from a brutal death when he had the opportunity.

[floriduh voter]

Lynch refused to pray the rosary for Terri while she was being murdered. He said he didn't do that sort of thing. Well, what kind of bishop is he then? A bishop in name only?

"Terri was very frightened when she was in California. Very frightened. It's astonishing to me that she could be used for an experiment and taken out of state without the court's permission, (that's my recollection). ""

I'm not at all surprised to hear your report about Terri being very frightened, FV. I would think she was fearful everytime her so called husband came into her room. I believe she knew terrible fear when they removed her feeding for the last time. Terri was aware and knew what was happening to her, imo.

I will always feel so sad over all the pain she went thru because of her stinking husband. I will never understand why she wasn't saved by existing laws. Why didn't he just leave her alone instead of tormenting her? It doesn't make sense and it never will.

[floriduh voter]

Politics killed her. GOP judges convinced GOP leaders to back off.

Have a nice weekend.
