I'm with you there. The governmetn had no business getting involved in taking sides in a nasty family dispute. Jeb lost a lot of support on this issue.
Yes, there are. Her family wanted her alive. Her lying cheating hino wanted her dead. God didn't deny her food and water, or rehab.
I decided when Terri was killed by the state, that this family would never set foot in Florida again and our tourist dollar will be going elsewhere. Not only that but whenever I know where my produce or other groceries come from, I avoid those from both France and Florida.
Crist is really horrible: that's why I think he will become governor of FL.
Wow, an actual conservative on the issue. If his platform across the board exhibits the same conservatism and he gets elected, it may be a sign conservatives are taking back the Republican party, at least in Florida.
I think the trillion dollar question is who ordered the Coast Guard rescue? I'm sure many would like to know.
Yea, the only "good Greek" was Agnew, and he was corrupt too, alas.
Call me suspicious. I want proof that the Coast Guard was truly planning a kidnapping that you are erroneously calling a rescue. I simply don't believe it ever happened.
Trying to save an innocent life from being killed is usually called a rescue. How can it be called erroneous?
Just curious.
Well stated.
Apparently Crist thinks it's OK for relatives to murder the defenseless, because the "government shouldn't get involved".
If the government doesn't get involved when innocent, defenseless people are getting murdered for the convenience of the murderer, when should get the government get involved?
For shame.
The issue that will never die...at least here...
That's for sure, so long as people get away with killing innocents.
He should have taken a lesson from John Kerry and put in the part about "Why, I was an altar boy . . . " before adding the BUT and saying he's all for killing the disabled.
According to the RINOs, the goverment was right when they got involved for the purpose of violating laws and ordering the murder of Terri, but the government was wrong to get involved for the purpose of upholding the law and preserving life.
Take for example Hazel Wagner. She has no written advance directive. One of her doctors decided that her life isn't worth living, and filed a petition to have the court order her starved and dehydrated to death. Her guardian moved her to a different hospital. Her life is also being threatened by an ex-husband of Hazel's niece, who claims she told him she would want to be starved and dehydrated to death. Her wishes are being ignored, because she didn't make the choice to be bioethicked, Schiavoed, starved/dehydrated to death, tortured to death, murdered, or pick your favorite euphemism.
Unfortunately, this rush to kill off vulnerable people without their permission by starving and dehydrating them to death is not unusual any more. It is now common practice to dispose of brain damaged people who are deemed too healthy to die without "assistance."
The title of this article erroneously identifies an unrelated man who was temporarily a nephew-in-law many years ago as a "relative."
Relative says aunt opposed life support
She was already removed from life support, but removal of her respirator wasn't enough, because she survived that. Thanks to all those involved in the murder of Terri Schiavo, it is now much easier to have someone starved and dehydrated to death against their will.
It is the government's duty to protect it's citizens.
Charlie Crist DID NOT do his duty as a government official.
Making you of course judge and jury over the entire process.
Spare us this nonsense.
Yes, I am disgusted that those men would beat a nice young man with a bright future like Martin Anderson.
