First, thank you for all you are doing in Florida.
I still firmly believe that in Florida with the strong lobby by the euthanasists and other interests, the only way for the LAWS TO GET CHANGED is for an uproar from the public demanding they get changed.
And, IMHO, you turn on the one politician in Florida that did more for Terry than any other. And I firmly disagree with that and feel it destroys the support you will get from other people in Florida. Many love Gov. Bush and it is just undercutting the whole effort to malign, destroy the credibility of Gov. Bush and to blame him for Terri.
The problem in Florida is THE LAWS that are on the books. No governor or President of the United States can usurp the law. The laws have to be changed and that is where you go to the dang lawmakers putting them into place.
Gov. Bush has indicated he will sign an amendment to the Constitution. Now - why chastise him more.
Gov. Bush knows far better than you or others in Florida what would have worked and what would not. There was no point going in, causing more trauma on Terri and her family when the Fla Supreme Court would immediately strike down whatever he did and again put that family through another letdown.
Alan Keyes outside Jeb's door has been mentioned. Alan Keyes talks good but it is not his responsibility for what happens. Also, A. Keyes in Dallas stood up at a Republican convention and chastised George Bush over the war and said really bad things about him. I will never trust Keyes again - he turned on us.
I expect Jeb Bush does not trust him as credible either. Afterall - what could Alan tell him about the Florida laws more than his own people could tell him? Keyes is always touting some out-of-the mainstream action. Of course, Keyes never has to make them work.
I often wonder if part of your agenda might be to destroy Gov. Bush. It will not work here on FR and I don't expect it will work in Florida.
But, you are the one doing the work and you can do it however you want. I just have to stick up for one of the best governors in the country. You will not have another as good as Jeb Bush. A little appreciation for all he has done for Terri and Florida please.
And, please go after all those lawmakers and demand that the end of life panels not be allowed to continually broaden their range of killing. That is where the problem is - you are wasting time trying to ruin Gov. Bush - unless you are a democrat.
That's ridiculous. You of all people should know better.
You're defending people who acted like political hacks and let us down in the worst possible way at the exact point where the rubber meets the road, and attacking someone who has never compromised an inch in defense of innocent human life.
Additionally, there are grassroots efforts going on to get a bill out of committee and to the floor. The toughest part is getting such a bill out of committee because it is packed with lawmakers who are cozy with George Soros, the Fla Right to Die and the Partnership for End of Life Choices. They will hold any such bill in committee because they are fine with starving people to death.
I can post the jpeg of the gang of nine Republicans who voted against Terri. Only Senator Jim King is up for re-election which is a lucky break. We don't have to campaign against nine, only one.
Jeb failed, the Fla Legislature failed, DCF failed and Medicaid fraud runs rampant. Fla AG Crist failed on purpose. The list goes on and on.
God is the only constant. Man has proven they are more concerned with image, money and power. That is the way I see it.
Who cares.
He rejected the very counsel he so publically and repeatedly said he was desperately looking for, while fully embracing Jesse Jackson for the cameras.
One of the most cynical and ultimately useless series of events I've ever seen.
You're saying that to FV, who for years was one of Jeb's most enthusiastic supporters.
