Jeb is available to help starve her to death.

I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Jeb and his brother both did everything they could short of armed conflict to try to keep her alive, and Jeb even went as far as to urge the prosecutor to re-open the investigation into her original injuries to focus on the low-life husband. That Jeb ultimately had to give in to the corrupt judge was forced by the reality of the situation, which was that no court in Florida or in Washington gave a damn about Terri Schiavo.
I had similar sentiments to you going into the primaries and was going to make a point about it. In fact I did in at least one post. However, I was reading Michael Schiavo’s account of the story, and he blamed Jeb Bush for his many efforts to stop what happened. It has made me rethink this incident.
At the time I did feel that Jeb wimped out, but in reading more details I realize now that Jeb did try very hard to intervene.
To expect him to do more than he did would require, in fairness, to expect all of the governors and judges and legislators to disregard laws and court rulings and take the law into their own hands when it comes to abortion.
Now, maybe that is what SHOULD be done. But it is not what we have been demanding of our leaders.
Regardless, Bush is out now. And I think most of us here agree it is for the better.
