Neal has never been exactly sympathetic to anyone who can't defend themselves.

NONE, at least the Repubs have TRIED to save her. Maybe the American People will pay more attention to the election or selection of Judges.

This Doctor has seen Terri. He was not able to examine her but he was in the hospice room with her.

Obviously Neal is suffering from substantially diminished capacity.

WHAT POLITICAL PRICE WILL REPUBLICANS DEMOCRATS PAY?

This is the question that should be asked.

The only people who would change their vote on this issue are Republicans--Dems will support their peeps for doing nothing, while the only Republicans who will change their votes are those who won't vote R because they're mad the R's didn't do more. Thus, a sum gain for the D's thanks to idealist pie-in-the-sky Republicans.

I used to listen to Boortz until the station replaced him with Rush. I never liked Rush, but he's growing on me... I don't miss Boortz in the least now. He's fallen into the same trap a lot of people have. The "let her die" trap. She wasn't dying until they removed her nourishment. Just as anyone would. If she could talk she'd be in better shape than Christopher Reeve was in when he died. The left loved him.

If trying to save a life is now a political liability...politics can go and be damned.

Neal Boortz on the same side as the old stream media? Hmmm.

I've heard libertarians defend slavery in the old south. Boortz is a libertarian, right? I'm not surprised he doesn't have a lot of compassion for Terri or her family. --

The GOP will pay a price for this stupidity. Polls show a huge majority oppose the failed intervention -- my entire family voted for Bush and is registered GOP but everyone of us thinks congress's actions were ridiculous and insulting.

The question is, What should the GOP do for damage control???

the only way to turn this tragedy into a positive - is to stick together with the people who at least tried to do the right thing, and educate more people about what is going on here. I really believe that if the polls were flipped the other way, our side would be willing to go further out on a limb.

to trash Jeb, GWB, et al - its like a family looking at a firefighter who just had half his faced burned off in a failed attempt to save their child, and saying "why didn't you try harder, the other half of your face is fine".

"doctor has never seen Terri Schiavo, except on videotape"

That's not true - the brother was just on Hannity and he said the doctor spent quite some time with her before giving his opinion.

This will not hurt the Republicans at all. The rest of the country will forget, but the right will not forget. I'm a socially conservative Catholic with pretty strong libertarian leanings. I never agreed with the Iraq war and am not very fond of GW Bush. But this event has really brought me back home to the Republicans, as imperfect as they are. At least the Republicans tried. To see the Democrats and liberals trying to pose as strict constructionists of the Constitution, after all of the nonsense they've pulled over the years with judicial activism, is the most galling thing I've ever seen.

As far as I'm concerned, the Constitution is a dead letter and has been so for a while. Both parties only selectively adhere to it when it's convenient to do so, otherwise they find ways to get around it. But when following the letter of the law like this can allow someone to legally commit murder and destroy a family, then something is wrong with the law. Laws can always be changed. But people can't be brought back from the dead and suffering cannot be put away in a box and forgotten.

I received an email from a relative in Italy today. She said everyone is talking about this over there. They think we're crazy. This is sickening.

I suppose this means they lose the votes of all the "Crucify Her" crowd.

I don't know if the Republicans will pay a political price or not. But Neal Boortz has paid the (admitedly small) price that I no longer listen to him. He's clever and I always made allowances for professed hatred of religion, but his boorishness in this matter is atrocious.

I know this is wrong, but I think the opposite is quite true. Neal and many others are just being plain lazy. This case really did not gain attention until Congress acted. The facts simply were not known. What has been presented by the MSM is that 1)Terri is in a coma; and 2)Terri expressly stated, in writing, that she wanted to die if in this situation; and 3)the Republican congress is intervening in a private matter.

Given those two facts, who wouldn't say Congress was wrong. But we all know those three facts are absolutely crap. Terri is not in a coma, there was no writing, Congress only required the Federal Courts to give de novo review to State Court decisions. Neal's analysis just doesn't seem to jive with the facts. What a shame he takes the convenient, quick analysis proferred by the MSM.
