"What do you think Reagan would have done?"

When did Reagan ever call out the troops when the judicial branch didn't do what he liked?

He did hand-out pink slips to federal employees.

When did the Judicial Branch under Reagan decide to kill an innocent woman who should have lived on for decades? Your examples aren't getting any better.

I'd like to think that Reagan would have made a personal appearance with a bottle of water in his hand.

The 2 million people who live in this county have been witness to lies and slander about our elected officials by people who have no idea what this case has been about. BIG lies and distortions have permeated the information going out via a concerted effort by Randal's organization, and the citizens of Pinellas Co. are pissed. You may live in the same town and even know the people involved in the big media story, but the story shown on the national media is an alternate reality. You see, everybody who lives here really does remember that the acrimony between Mr. Schindler and Mr. Schiavo over the settlement money. It was nasty and it was public and Greer even mentioned it in one of his rulings. 15 YEARS of reading "Terri" stories (SP times loves tragic stories) and never one single allegation from the Schindlers that Michael had done any thing but love and take care of their daughter. They were fine with the judge until he ruled against them. Feeding disorder stories always featured her name as a caution. Anyone who knows this area knows it's not the citizens of Pinellas Park who are not showing up to protest at the hospice...It's the entire Pinellas and Hillsbourgh Counties...2.8 million people...and not even one local Church shows up to speak up nationally in front of that hospice. Not one congregation.

Are we all heathens?

These are all our elected Judges and elected Law enforcement officers...not Governor appointed agents of the State. They have been slandered as all who live here have been slandered by inference. The police live here too. They are being kind to the tourists as they always are. If the good ole boys here were pissed they'd be worried. But they're not worried...They're good ole boys too...They have the manpower to enforce the Judges order...And they would have been backed up by the community...We're not big fans of Tallahassee messing in our local affairs...much less Washington.

You don't like us fine. Stay away...you snarl traffic every Winter and the rudeness many of you show here seems to be a by product of living N of the Mason Dixon line. You can bring your money...leave your politics at home. We are tired of self righteous liars. Randal needs to get out of here before we ride him out. He has used a personal family tragedy to further some political agenda that has nothing to do with this case no matter how he tries to twist it to fit. The people pushing this with their threats against our elected officials and vile language to our local GOP have engendered nothing but disgust locally and may have caused irreparable damage to a Governor who has a big heart but has shown himself a dupe in the eyes of people who have lived with this story as ongoing local news for years. Jebb should have checked with the people who live here and elected him instead of succumbing to an organized mass e-mail campaign organized by people from out of State.

That was not directed at you personally.
