"I want to personally talk with them about Terri's case," Bobby Schindler told the Boston Globe. "They need to be fully informed. There obviously exists a lot of confusion about my sister's situation."

Yes there does.

What a joke. They want to start this circus again?

I want to personally talk with the candidates about my complicated tax return - but it ain't going to happen.

He'll be wasting his breath...do you think they care?

No doubt Thompson will respond with "I'm not going to dance to anybody's tune," again.

Such a diplomatic guy, hard to believe that he comes to us via the self-involved Hollywood types.

I'm in partial agreement with a visitor upthread^©. Not many politicians are going to listen to the truth. That isn't because politicians are too ethical, as a troll might like you to believe. It's because they already know enough details about Terri's murder to know that it was wrong, but openly discussing it with Terri's family would deprive them of their element of plausible deniability.

Oh come on, it's the 'problem' that never goes away!! Both parties have those within their midst that believe government knows best. And of course if the federal government sets a standard, they'll whine about that. The federal government will change it, and others will whine about that. It's the perpetual call of big government lovers, be they social 'conservatives' or far leaning lefties.

That's what will rot this nation from within. It won't be the boogeyman Islamowhatevers, it won't be the mean Chinese with a booming economy, it will be those that believe the federal government should be involved in anything and everything that will drag this nation to its demise.

And then there are those of us who want the government to do the job they’re supposed to do, instead of interfering in our lives and ordering the death of innocent citizens. But please, don’t let the truth get in the way of your agenda.

Glad to hear this. I can't in good conscience vote for anyone who thinks Terri's murder was legal, and acceptable because it was legal. It was cruel, deliberate murder.

God bless the Schindlers' efforts.

"Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it." -- Santayana

I can't help but notice that your tagline is very inconsistent with your views which totally contradict the principles upon which our Republic was founded.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, [emphasis added is mine]
-- The Declaration of Independence

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
-- The Constitution of the United States

It is abundantly clear that the Founding Fathers declared our independence AND formed our constitutional republic to protect life.

Even if Terri’s murder was technically legal, AND IT WASN’T, it was still immoral and barbaric.

The last portion of the 25th chapter of Matthew explains the difference between the pro-life movement and the culture of death as better than anything ever written.

You mean the principles the federal government was limited to very specific issues and the rest was left to the states? Or the SoCon Huckabee myth that most of the Framers were ministers and what they really meant to establish was a federal government that would deal with every moral concern the citizens of the separate and sovereign states may face?

[BykrBayb]

Those words still stir passion in my soul. Do they do the same for you, or are they just dusty words on old parchment? How many of us read those words, and are encouraged to defend those principles? Can I get a show of hands?

BTTT!

In your fondness for hyphenated conservatism, what hyphenated label do you prefer for yourself?

You cherry pick conservative tidbits to support an agenda that does not fit in here at all.
