Dream on...
Don't you get that the problem in FLa was that the GOP 9 in the state legislature were less conservative than Jeb.
Had that bill that Jeb was pushing past, Terri would've been saved by now.
Mark my words, the nominee will be far less conservative than the Brothers Bush.

Only if their names were Clinton and had a "D" beside their names on the ballot. Got that right!
Clinton ever brought up on charges for the multiple crimes he's perpetrated?
Gore ever slapped on the wrist for the Buddhist fund raising scam - (for one thing)
when is Sandy Burgurlar going to go to jail? etc...

My impression is that his "big sin" is not using the full force of government to sweep Terri Schiavo from the hospice in defiance of the law because some Freepers want him to.
To: DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet
Jeb Bush says he doesn't have the power to do what people are demanding, so I must conclude that you're a) calling him a liar, and b) know more about his role than he and his own legal team do.
Right on both counts.

I would love to agree with you, but I keep seeing the Florida Statue that gives the executive branch the power to step in and protect an adult who is danger as the result of the action/inaction of others, including bastardly, two-timing, unfaithful husbands who have been appointed guardian. I might be able to overlook his lack of action when the chips are down if he hadn't held that news conference and blustered about his authority, only to have one of the lowest ranking judges in the State he administers back him down. The statue says NOTHING about prior judicial approval for saving a person.

What's the evidence that they were less conservative? A lot of conservatives don't think government should be making such decisions. But, you are right, the Bushes are most definitely "big government" conservatives.

He has proven over and over that he cares about this as much as anyone, and yet, he is the scapegoat people on FreeRepublic have chosen.Jebs been working his butt off. He looks so tired and frustrated when they show him on TV.
I like Jeb. He's a good man.

about your reference to the Elian Gonsales raid - Reno got a court order to do it! what do you think Jeb's been trying to do - he saved her last time - but this time, they knew what path he would take and end-runned it

I really liked Mel, until I read those things he said about his own wife. I still like him, but just not quite so much...

Well, except when it comes to illegal immigration, then they are closer to "no government" conservatives.

re: unelected, accountable-to-nobody, judicial branch
A minor point of contention here. Judge Greer is elected and he is the heart of the problem. I hold the voters of Pinellas County who returned him to office less than a year ago.

It would be great for Jeb to intervene... I bet he wants to.
But I think it would be an extraordinary thing for him to do.
It's hard to ask Jeb to do it. The people that now hate Jeb don't understand that the blame lies with the Republican 9 in the Fla Legislature and the awful state and federal courts.
Jeb is a mere mortal... a good guy that has tried to save Terri and is obviously anguished over all of this.
