Several threads running about Terri have been started by people who joined within the last few months. Most of these threads have as much to do with bashing Jeb Bush as with saving Terri. Anyone else see this as odd?

Many of us have been great supporters of Jeb Bush. I know I am not bashing him. But I see no one at all with the power and the right and the authority to save this woman; with one exception: the Justice Department could step in, send in the marshals and a medical team.

Terri Schiavo's Fifth Amendment Rights are clearly being pounded into the dirt.

Someone is giving the Governor very bad legal and political advice, in my opinion. And that is not a bash.

I'm repeating almost verbatim the comments of one of Jeb's strongest supporters from the ground in FL tonight.

Yup. Either they are phonies or the usual bunch of conservatives who have death-wish/suicidal tendencies. ("I will never vote again for Jeb, even though he has been closer on most conservative issues than any Florida governor in recent memory."

Jebs bully pulpit has remained unused.

Is that a bash?

I've noticed that as well - it appears most (as the initiator of this thread - who joined today) may have other agendas in play.

It certainly is interesting.

Nope. I don't see it as being odd because that was their initial purpose anyway. The emotion gets shocked, then folks fall in line with the bashing sentiment.

Let's give them the benefit of the doubt right now. This is a VERY impassioned fight for a woman's life. I know what I FEEL. I have been involved with FreeRepublic for over 5 years, mostly sitting on the sidelines reading.This is my first time to really actively post.( what a EXPERIENCE, I might say!)

When you are fighting for a cause, to search and find a " place" to vent is the norm! Let's hope that they have found FR and are doing just that.

You are not the only one who has noticed - we have a gaggle of people who sign up, and their first post is a vanity of this situation, and all bash Jeb, ignoring the judge who made this decision, then call FReepers names if they don't fall into lock-step with the newbie's position... it's VERY odd, to say the least...
