If all we did was speak kindly of our president, this place would be a complete waste of time.
My, my you are a bully now aren't you.
Why don't you just back off and be nice now. If the truth bothers you, I'm sorry.

Jeb doesn't have the courage to fully exercise his power and go in and take Terri into custody. He should have done that LONG ago and in addition to saving Terri, he would have saved her parents and the rest of us a lot of heartache and trouble.
You obviously didn't read the article to the link I provided or you don't want to face the painful truth.

The "restrictions he is operating under" is, he doesn't have the balls to make a decision contrary to the wishes of unelected judges. That is a fact.
I wouldn't be surprised if he lays down a royal flush and red dogs the table again.
I hope you are a prophet.
But death has no dominion over us. Dead or alive the spotlight is on these cock-a-roaches, and we are going to win.
Amen. Liberalism will certainly die a convincing death, for all to see. But that is not so comforting when I consider the torture Terri Schiavo and her parents are facing. I pray God will punish those who had the power to help her, but did not.
That's right, judges' rulings shouldn't have the force of law. There are no checks and balances. Presidents and governors are dictators, free to do what they won't when they won't regardless of court rulings or laws passed. I can't believe you want the Bush brothers to be punished from God. Its not their fault. They are both good Christian men who I'm sure are going to heaven. I don't believe you can call yourself a Christian and go to heaven praying people go to hell....and I don't believe God listens to those prayers, although he may punish you for them.
I'm angry too. I'm not sure I've ever been more angry in my life. Ever.
(And I'm not sure I've ever prayed for any non family member as much as I have for Terri.......other than this President).
But I'm directing my anger at the people who are actually responsible for this travesty of justice and human rights...........and that's NOT Jeb Bush, and certainly not the President.
This place is crawling with trolls. Disgusting.
I'm through with you too. I can't help you're too dumb to understand checks and balances.
It is only fair that I remind you that Nixon operated in a Democratic controlled congress with very entrenched power. President Bush operates in a Republican controlled congress with republicans controlling a majority of the governorships and state legislatures, and he has the power to tell the judiciary to go to hell, if he had the balls to do so. BTW, I have been a member longer than you. Are you a troll, or something?
Thank you.
"Speaking unkindly about our President is not tolerated here."
Guess we'll have to ban all of those who passionately disagree with his illegal immigration stance.....whoops, that'd be 75-90% of this site.
You need to think things through.
Har! Speaking of "thinking things through" - - can you describe for me the scene, as you have imagined it, where Jeb and W get thrown in jail? I mean, exactly who comes with the cuffs?
Man, you sound as much like a scared bunny as Jeb, but with a much more fertile imagination.
Thank you, and I too am praying.

That's right, the judiciary isn't an equal branch of government. I'll remind you of this statement if the Democrats take control of the White House, Congress, Governorships and state legislatures and a Bush packed Supreme Court rules Roe v. Wade unconstitutional :)
So you didn't even read what you posted?
You said, IF Jeb had courage, Terri would now be being fed. That's a result, and it's a conclusion based on faulty logic.
(And, no I didn't read your link, but it has nothing to do with facing any truth......it has to do with valuing my time).
I'm not 100% sure of the timeline, but Gov Bush had someone call the hospital to bascially tell them DCF was going to take custody and ascertain they would reinsert the tube and the hospital called the judge and tipped him off what DCF was about to do... so he didn't not do anything, he was bushwhacked by the tight community that has closed around protecting Michael Schivo.
Sorry for being "snippy" -- but people should put the blame where it belongs.
I think a lot of Freepers miss the nuance of certain legal language, and they can't understand why things don't reconcile and common sense seems to be in short supply in the legal system.
That leads to a feeling of desperation, and people want something dramatic to be done.
I think this is a failure of the legal system, not a failure of Governor Bush. That's the point I'm trying to make. He's looking for a legal loophole, and people want a S.W.A.T. team...then they're angry with him and calling him names for not acting like he's a character on The West Wing.
