"Gov. Jeb Bush was in daily contact with congressional leaders in March as court efforts to intervene on behalf of Terri Schiavo faltered, according to e-mails obtained Monday from the governor's office."

Jeb Bush is a gutless wonder who was just posturing--"sellin' wolf tickets" as the kids say. He had the power to use the FL National Guard and FL State Police to rescue
Terri from the Barney Fife Pinellas Park cops but was either too cowardly to do so or didn't really believe in his heart that Terri Schiavo was worth saving. This is what happens when you elect silver-spoon rich kids to high office; they don't have the guts to put up a fight.

Bush was a day late and a spine short.

Yep, nothing like an executive branch member ignoring court rulings, pandering to a very small percentage of citizens (most from outside of his state), and taking the law into their own hands. Who needs a form of republican government within his state? Republicans are in charge so what they say goes and we should put complete trust in Republicans because they would never sell conservatives down the river...

I wonder if we have enough men who do have the spine to do the right thing to make a difference. The way it is now, anything that comes up to change King's legacy will not pass, he'll get his little posse together. Real conservatives must run for office so we don't have to choose between RINO or Dem, there really isn't much difference though.

... Jeb Bush is a gutless wonder who was just posturing--"sellin' wolf tickets" as the kids say. He had the power to use the FL National Guard and FL State Police to rescue Terri from the Barney Fife Pinellas Park cops but was either too cowardly to do so or didn't really believe in his heart that Terri Schiavo was worth saving. This is what happens when you elect silver-spoon rich kids to high office; they don't have the guts to put up a fight.

Wow man, I wish I didn't say I'd reply. Oh well, here goes; JB followed the law. We may not think the finding of the court correct, but it was adjudicated until the cows came home. JB had an obligation to follow the law. Perhaps he could have shown more guts, but if he would have the guts he would have been showing would be slopping all over the ground, because he would have been torn apart. You also spook pejoratively about 'silver-spoon rich kids' not having the guts to fight. This is a negative stereotype and quite untrue. Our history is replete with the sons and daughters of privilege who have paid the highest price, and your slam bags directly against the Bush family. Your compliment the PP cops also resembled a rant. These dudes were just doing their jobs.

Recapping; First sentence: Jeb Bush is a gutless wonder who was just posturing - "sellin' wolf tickets" as the kids say.Whats to deconstruct, this is your opinion. Second sentence; He had the power to use the FL National Guard and FL State Police to rescue Terri from the Barney Fife Pinellas Park cops but was either too cowardly to do so or didn't really believe in his heart that Terri Schiavo was worth saving. He had the power to misuse. He had the responsibility to follow the law. Third sentence; This is what happens when you elect silver-spoon rich kids to high office; they don't have the guts to put up a fight.Whats to deconstruct? This is again, your opinion.

Words like 'gutless wonder', and 'Barney Fife Pinellas Park cops' and 'cowardly' and 'guts' and 'Terry worth saving' scream out feelings. Feelings, emotions, same thing. I find your post #7 to be a fine example of an emotional post.
