Schiavo issue haunts Crist

See? Intervention is emerging as a new item of the leftist lexicon:

Today, Nov. 12, 2006, impeachment is as critical a top priority for most Americans just as Congress intervening to keep Terri Schiavo connected to life-support was last year.

GAG ME!!!!!!!! McCain and Crist???? Make that Cain and the anti-Crist!!!!

You didn't waste any time ruining my morning :-)

Charlie Crist is another splendid example why I never invest my hopes in political solutions. The game is crooked. Even the best of men will be corrupted in time, and Charlie is not the sort to wait around. The only thing politicians can do for us is to undo the meddling of previous politicians -- and they scarcely ever succeed in even that simple chore.

The U.S. has faced constant debates that have examined the role of religion in daily life, particularly in regard to the ethical questions posed by embryonic stem cell research and abortion, as well as euthanasia—exemplified during the case of Terri Schiavo in 2005. Another avenue of discussion is the emergence of the theory of intelligent design, which suggests certain biological mechanisms are too complex to have developed without the involvement of a powerful force or intelligent being, and has been chastised by scientists as a concealed method of teaching creationism.

This poll cannot be correct, unless it reflects malfeasance on the part of the media themselves. You see, as soon as George W. Bush caved in, fired Rummy and started working with the Democrats, the script calls for him to "grow" in the eyes of those who led the hate festival. He is healed! He is healed! Glory Hallelujah! He should have ratings in the 60s or 70s this week.

Another reminder that what we naively call news media are leftist street theater deployed to corrupt public opinion. Reporters are the spiritual disciples of Abbie Hoffman.

Terri Factor...

Arrogance happened a year or so ago when politicians flew around the country trying to save the life of Terry Schiavo. Most people felt great ambivalence about whether or not to remove the feeding tube. We didn't need our political leaders pandering to family members and extreme religionists in a well publicized effort to save her life. This exercise went bad because these politicians looked arrogant. They looked arrogant because they acted like they knew what God wanted them to do. That doesn't set very well with voters, to be given the impression that their leaders think they speak for God. That may be a major problem for the mullahs of Baghdad.

An original thought??

Most Americans didn't hold with the ultraconservative social agenda laid out by those Bible-thumpers. No matter their religious views, most voters recoiled from the public spectacle that leading GOP politicians made of Terri Schiavo's private tragedy.

Conservatives' tenuous bonds finally unravel

Ping to a Silverleaf thread, thanks, The Sarce, on the Church of England and euthanasia...

THE Church of England has joined one of Britain’s royal medical colleges in calling for legal euthanasia of seriously disabled newborn babies. Church leaders want doctors to be given the right to withhold treatment from seriously disabled newborn babies in exceptional circumstances.

Their call, overriding the presumption that life should be preserved at any cost, follows that of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecology, revealed in The Sunday Times last week.

Church supports baby euthanasia

The lady doesn't know anything about the Terri Schiavo case. She's simply reciting the litany. They all chant the same thing and never look beneath the surface. That way it is SO easy to condone a cheating husband killing his helpless, disabled wife. Why, with a little help from liberal moralists, you could go around kicking puppies to death, and sound holier-than-thou when you do it.

It's a sure bet this dreadnought doesn't have an answer to the #1 question -- how did Terri go from healthy to face-down on the hallway floor, in cardiac arrest, brain damaged and nearly dead, right after her husband came home late one Saturday night?

Baby euthanasia? I say, wait until they're teenagers and just impossible.

/sarcasm, mostly :-)

>> We didn't need our political leaders pandering to family members and extreme religionists in a well publicized effort to save her life.

Who should our political leaders pander to, in-laws? Strangers? Foreigners? Why NOT families? What is wrong with trying to save an innocent woman's life? That is lawmakers' constitutional duty! It's in the Declaration and the Constitution. To neglect that duty is impeachable (and that's in the Constitution, too.)

A real nincompoop, this one.

Florida needs every penny it can get its hands on to pay for free medical care for their illegals.

It can't afford to keep American citizens alive in nursing homes.

[T'wit]

You are right. I'm so sorry for my pro-life silliness. Saving the alligators takes money too. And building new state parking lots. I mean, the average citizen won't even be able to afford recreational drugs we keep letting old folks survive.

cc is so stupid. if the gop goes there, they are dumber than he is. The rnc believes their own spin. Their spin is b.s.

Media propaganda working with the u.s. govt. killed Terri Schiavo for a cheating husband. It was a hit job by the courts.

I was at the courthouse the other day. I went through the doors and all I could think was that "They killed Terri." There are now tv monitors at the ceiling with female (former local anchors) on a continuous feed yakking about the court system. It's so 1984 here. "Fear Greer" is not just a slogan somebody here made up.

Ken Mehlman's on his way out. Remember that while Ed Gillespie was the head of the RNC, Terri not only was safe but they were helping us in 2003. In 2005, the republicans in power were against Terri but put on a good show for the media.

If Michael Steele replaces Mehlman, I wonder if Steele will protect or abandon disabled Americans the way Mehlman did.

(I keep getting emails from people who say they didn't help the gop because the gop didn't help Terri).

When the anti-life for Terri politicians grant to illegals citizenship and Terri haters lose their jobs to illegals, then they'll understand the price they paid for starving and dehydrating our friend Terri Schiavo.

They won't get it until it hits them personally. It's supposed to be liberty and justice for all (not just everyone in the U.S.A. except Terri Schindler Schiavo).

Sandra Day O' Connor is going to help run the war now. I thought she was GOING TO HELP HER AILING HUSBAND as he strugged with ALZ.

The woman was and is a fraud. I don't know what her experience is in prosecuting a war. She prosecuted Terri. Maybe she'll starve and dehydrate the terrorists?????
