The Terri Factor....In Florida on the Right to Kill:

Republican Bill McCollum said Democrat Skip Campbell was a liar who misrepresented his positions on the Terri Schiavo right-to-die case during a contentious debate Monday between the attorney general candidates.

Campbell has been criticizing McCollum for saying he would have supported Gov. Jeb Bush's efforts to intervene in the case of the brain-damaged woman, who died last year after her feeding tube was removed in a legal battle that reached Congress and the White House.

The Terri Factor and a "conservative"(?) view...

All of this becomes all the more potent when integrated with the core issues of the conservative civic religion: anti-abortion, regulation of biotechnology, control of marriage, and controls on immigration, issues in which some Republicans and Democrats actually differ. Bush saw fit to veto one bill in six years—stem cell research—and to interrupt his vacation to prevent a merciful death for the brain-dead Terry Schiavo. Beyond that, he has never met a government program he did not like.

In the end, a repudiation of these policies cannot occur by rewarding the Bush conservatives with an election victory. This has not worked for the past six years, and it will not work now. To "crush the left" in this election will not hurt the leftists any further—for their collapse is philosophical, not political, and thus far deeper than any election. But a conservative victory now will confirm the present leadership of the Republican Party, and strengthen their hold on it.

Why I Will Not Vote for Any Republican

What a charming debate!

"You didn't vote to kill her but I did!"
"Liar, yes I did! You're the one who didn't vote to kill her."

Hold your nose, ask God's forgiveness and vote Republican.

Debating about who would have killed Terri better. Isn't it ludicrous? Terri was murdered. To argue that public servants would have killed her more or better is so outrageous. Poor Terri is gone and there's plenty of blame to go around.

The debates are like arguing over who the biggest bully on the block is. So juvenile. The crime of murder is UP in Florida. Why don't they do something about that instead of brag about how they would have killed Terri too..... Anyone with a conscience who has read the Constitution please run for office. Please.
