What ever happened to "first do no harm?" We need a leader who understands that...as second nature...just as many loving American parents already instinctively do and put to practice without hesitation...every single day.
Imagine a loved one of yours in Mr. Zimmerman's extremely dangerous, life-threatened situation. It would be horrifying...with an added double-dose of the sinking dread of helplessness for that loved one's plight.
Again, thanks for your thoughtful post. I just feel more strongly by the day that Santorum absolutely doesn't "get it" and lacks basic instincts and vision critical to lead us in these very troubled times...where things are guarenteed to get much worse before better...and I pray that our children's country does get better, for their and their's sake. Take care, Yaelle. :-)
I did want to say one more thing. If heaven forbid someone should harm or kill Mr. Zimmerman, I do feel that given the vile and incendiary things that Santorum said about the man...that which he has absolutely FAILED to very-publicly REDRESS himself of...that as harsh as it sounds, Santorum then has the man's blood on his hands. Harsh but true. Rick knows and knew of the Dead or Alive $$$ terrorist bounty on Zimmerman's head when he publicly (disgustingly) propagandized against the very vulnerable citizen.
I agree. Someone, probably rush, was saying today: where are the leaders trying to defuse, trying to CALM the public and wait for judgment and facts here? Nowhere.
