I think Jeb wanted to stop it, but when his brother the President backed off, and when he got stabbed in the back by the Florida Senate (GOP majority), I think he didn't have a lot of choice. It would certainly have been a lot harder for him to do something and justify it legally, and so I blame him a lot less than W.

That said, I am able to separate that issue from others that I do agree with Bush on, such as the war on terror and taxes. I am terribly unhappy with the border and with spending, and the Schiavo issue added to the discontent. It brought Bush down a great deal in stature, from someone who had a chance to approach Reagan's qualities, down to someone only slightly better than his dad had been. Still a helluva lot better than having a President Kerry, but not near as good as he could have been.

Roberts and Alito proved that it was important to re-elect Bush. Schiavo proved that we don't have a conservative majority even with a GOP one. Keep working for that conservative cause, and don't lose faith in what good people can accomplish.

Not as good as I thought they were. I can say that for Jeb and for Dubya. I'll never work that hard to get anybody elected ever again, throw in going into four years now supporting Terri's Fight and the Foundation's new mission, that was a lot of effort and Terri was murdered anyway.

Kerry's the Bushes' cousin and they are all related to Count Dracula. Now that's funny.

There has been several series of events over the past decade which created the perfect environment. Lawton Chiles was GOV at the time.

Personally, I do not believe they knew initially why they seemed hog tied at every turn. Some of Florida's legislators may not get it yet.

Read this. This will explain much of the problem. The minds is the biggest factor.

The Mergers, The Money, The Minds Behind Assisted Suicide
By Karen Ward, RN
Rita Marker, a lawyer out of Steubenville, Ohio, has researched and written extensively about the foundations who fund the right to die groups pushing euthanasia and physician assisted suicide in the United States. Rita states that private foundations are the critical players in promoting societal changes. They also supply the money for the studies used in advancing an ideology. This is fact. Just follow the money trail.
