"Yes. Let us now abandon those who represent the Republican Party. That'll change things. That'll show the liberals. Let us now eat our own. How lovely."
I don't care. I just heard the Bushs' comments on Rush ... "The strong have a duty to protect the weak"... yeah, great, George... SO WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THIS ATROCITY WAS TAKING PLACE?" -- and we're supposed to feel sorry for Jeb, because this was just SOOOOO hard for him to deal with, as Governor. Aw, poor baby.
My respect (and thus my support) for these guys is history - and if that hurts the Republican party, so be it.
Terri would have been dead years ago had JEB not stuck his neck out. I just want to remind you of that.
I would wager that all of us have duties that we fail to discharge. It seems to me, if George says the strong have a duty to protect the weak, and the weak have not been protected, then the strong have failed to discharge their duty. Take it as a sort of admission of failure. Probaly not a personal adimssion, we all rationalize our actions as being "all we could do." I assume George is referring to the judiciary as "the strong", but he doesn't get specific there.
I'm not sure how all this will shake out politically. I am just struck to my very core over what "we" have allowed to occur. It is an abomination. It is a gross injustice.
Keep eating. Eventually the good guys will all be gone, if you get your wish.........
