Fine. Make it Kennedy Center. What percentage of the NYC population will it hold?
My point was specific to the political impact of the Schiavo case, not the facts; I'm not getting into that argument, because the regular participants on these threads know every detail far better than I do.
While a fair number of people still feel passionately that Jeb acted wrongly, a large majority do not, and I don't see it having a serious impact on any future election unless that election has a razor-thin margin.
Maybe 8mm didn't make it clear enough.
The SOLE purpose of the "Terri Dailies" threads is to preserve Terri's legacy by fighting against the culture of death and exposing their evil agenda. We ARE NOT here to debate anything on these threads.
Jim Robinson has made it abundantly clear on numerous occasions that Free Republic is pro-life. Obviously this stance is disagreeable to some Republicans, but I've never met a conservative who has a problem with it.

Consider this, one of the primary problems that conservatives have with McCain is judicial appointments and this is specifically due to pro-life issues, in fact McCain's "stated" pro-life position is one of the ONLY positions that differentiates him from Rudy. Conversely one of the primary "victories" that conservatives bring up when asked about GWB is his appointment of Roberts and Scalia, again because they are pro-life. If you don't think that conservatives care about these issues, then you really haven't been paying attention.

I don't think you grasped my irony, nevertheless, the first thought flashing into my mind with the NYC analogy was this quote: "The Pope? How many divisions has he got?" Josef Stalin.
You are trying to separate politics from Terri's Legacy as if it were merely tangential, where in reality they are linked inexorably. Pooh pooh it if you wish, but just read only the posts I made this morning to get the drift.
I sense you are somehow justifying and defending Jeb. If so, consider this. We describe this thought process frequently enough in reviewing leftist thinking as cognitive dissonance, the ability to parse pro-life on one side and pro-lie on the other and somehow hold both together in separate compartments, for if we examine the two we find them mutually exclusive.
If I say I am pro-life, and I still love Jeb, I might wish to diminuate the role of pro-life so I can keep loving Jeb. I would have to, knowing the reality that he turned his back on this dying innocent.
Nice try, though.
