You’re missing the entire point.

ANY public official has it within their power at any time to use and exploit existing law, or to enact NEW laws which allow them to commit illegal acts against one or more citizens.

The FACT is, Jeb Bush did NOT do all that he could have to save the life of Terri Schiavo. You can spin it anyway you want to, you can hide behind everything being ‘legal and proper’ but the FACT is, Fat Boy sat on his ass in Tallahassee, talked a good game, made a few pro-Terri comments, but when push came to shove, Pinellas County probate Judge George W Greer reached out and snipped off Jeb’s balls with a pair of nail clippers, which was all that was needed to send Jeb scampering for cover.

At any time, Jeb could have ordered the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and/or the Florida National Guard to deploy to Pinellas County, he could have in fact led the damn way and informed those who were preventing Terri from receiving nutrition and nourishment to step aside, and if they did not? Make them step aside by force.

Doing the right thing sometimes means that you ignore and defy what the ‘law’ says is legal, if the result of such laws or judicial orders mean that an innocent person or persons are being injured or murdered.

THAT is leadership. You have to be willing to put it all on the line when you are faced with a ‘right or wrong’ / ‘good or evil’ decision to be made, regardless of what it might mean for you personally, professionally or politically.

Jeb didn’t have what it takes. And that is why Terri Schiavo is dead.

No, I’m not missing the point. The point is YOU are into believing the commiecrap agenda at pointing a finger at Jeb Bush.

I’m not into that. I’m into the FACTS!
