CRIST CAMP BULLYING TOM GALLAGHER: Crist's machine wants Gallagher to drop out. Guess what? They are trying to bully Gallagher like they bullied Katherine Harris. I wouldn't be surprised if they're not the same gop machine (the bullies of the Fla GOP).
Crist is too lazy to run a campaign and give Floridians a primary choice.
How did he have loss of consortium when he was making babies with concubine Jodi? He alleged loss of consortium but he was consorting just fine with a co-adulterer. The adultery should have precluded Michael from being a guardian but thanks to corrupt Judge Greer, they killed her.
We just need a PI to find out of they are related.
Then the entire Terri matter would have to be re-visted because it would open up the corruption issues that even Charlie Crist would get caught up in. HE's trying to run a campaign. How embarassing that Crist could get caught finally before the September primary because all would be revealed about his ties to murderous Judge Greer. Remember Greer's campaign mgr's son is managing Crist's campaign. Freepers who aren't from Pinellas have no idea that they are supporting a criminal enterprise when they are for Crist.
Further, they somehow believe that they will clean their hands if they can pretend long enough and hard enough that what they did was somehow okay. Too bad they don't realize that the key to absolution (psychological as well as religious) is repentance.
Before the malpractice trial, didn't the doctor who installed the probes indicate that they should be removed? After the trial, Terri's trust fund certainly had enough money for their removal; on what basis was the doctor's advice not followed?
Even Jay Wolfson, however, seemed to think new swallow tests would be appropriate. He may have been unwilling to impugn the honor of Greer et al., but not realized the extent to which having Terri actually take a new swallowing test might do so.
I am pretty sure that was a trap. The price Wolfson put on a swallowing test -- which she was almost certain to fail at that point -- was her death if she failed. The coroner noted that her capacity to swallow had atrophied over the years. ("Thank" Michael for that.) It was ten years earlier when the nurses could feed her Jell-o and fruit juices and report, "no aspiration." I'm afraid time and neglect took their toll.
Still -- no problem if she has a feeding tube.
Oh, ewe!
Terri wanted to sue Jodi for loss of consortium. She didn't actually file papers, but I overheard Scott and Joan Schiavo saying they heard Terri's wish to sue Jodi. I'd call that clear and convincing evidence, wouldn't you?
Still -- no problem if she has a feeding tube.
A point which also needs to be brought up is that a person will be considered to "fail" a swallow test if the examiners believe there is significant risk of aspiration, the idea being that in such cases a feeding tube is safer than oral feeding. Such failure implies that there's no possibility that oral feeding might be successful--merely that it's not worth the risk when safer methods of feeding are available.
Unless Michael is a complete fool, he must have known that allowing Terri's parents to try unsuccessfully to feed her would only bolster his case. Therefore, since I don't judge Michacel to be a complete fool, I think he was well aware that if given a chance to swallow food and liquid she would in fact do so.
I'm inclined to agree, but nobody can really say. It is one of those questions we'll have to ask God later on. However, in 1995 I would have given odds that she could survive on oral feeding.
Neurologist: Boy still in coma, but 'definitely improved' (using cutting-edge treatments & vitamins)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1666973/posts
A neurologist from Washington, D.C., an autonomic nervous system specialist from Philadelphia and a neuron-psychologist and psycho-pharmacologist -- both from Manhattan -- have spent a lot of time with Steven Domalewski lately. They, and others, have been at his bedside in a Paterson hospital, using cutting-edge treatments while trying to bring the 12-year-old pitcher out of a coma.
"He's progressing at a really good rate," Dr. Philip De Fina said Friday. "He has definitely improved. His alertness has improved. His dad has been feeding him little bits of Italian ice, and he's breathing very well on his own." De Fina is head of the Manhattan-based International Brain Research Foundation. He and 10 doctors have swooped in to treat Steven -- for free. Other specialists have also helped. Their goal, they say, is to restore the boy's brain functions to a point where he can walk and talk.
Steven was pitching in a Wayne Police Athletic League game June 6 when a batter lined a ball into his chest at the exact millisecond between heartbeats. The impact caused an extremely rare condition called commotio cordis in which the heart stops. That deprived Steven of oxygen for an undetermined amount of time, causing damage to his brain. He remains at St. Joseph's Children's Hospital in Paterson in what doctors call a "very light coma."

MASKED MAURADERS ASSAULT OPERATION SAVE AMERICA EVANGELISTS July 16, 2006
Faces covered with scarves seen at WTO meetings, and holding six feet of PVC pipe to Adam Tennant, from Kannopolis, North Carolina, had just driven into the church parking lot when the unruly mob piled on the car and began beating it with PVC pipe and bashing the windows with their fists. Colorado Right to Life VP, Leslie Hanks ran to a squad car parked across the street and asked the individuals inside why they couldnt do something to stop it. A gentleman who Peter Haik who claimed to be a local member of the church came to the OSA side of the street and stated that although he disagreed with their members, he supported their right to be there. OSA activists requested that he make that statement clear to the Jackson police officers. Mr. Haik told OSA that the anarchist team was not part of the church and that he supported their arrest. Nonetheless, nothing was done to the violent protestors standing with the National Organization of Woman (NOW,) in opposing the OSA presence in Jackson. OSA street preachers faced clanging pots and pans and shouts of turn the speakers off, as they tried to share the Word of God with the crowd. Constitutional rights appeared to be on hold as the Jackson police department stated Operation Save Americas founder, Flip Benham asked the police to just do their jobs and noted, We intend to continue storming the gates of hell and praying for the end of the wicked practice of abortion in Jackson until babies are safe in their mothers wombs. To this point, no formal complaint has been filed, although Adam Tennant filled out Pro-life stalwart, Ken Scott of Denver, requested that a police supervisor be called to weigh in on the matter of whether assaults are allowed on private property in Jackson, Mississippi. Officer Jenkins stated that a supervisor would be called but none ever showed up to The Word of God was preached over loudspeakers to the lost by Pastor James Kitchens, with Jacksons The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. Several post abortive women told their stories but were shouted down and mocked as they tried to share the truth of how abortion hurt them personally. World Cant Wait has a Day of Mass Resistance planned for October 5, 2006.

In "Using Terri," California civil appellate attorney Jon Eisenberg, who promotes himself as "one of the lead attorneys on Michael Schiavo's side," seeks to sound the alarm that the religious Right used Terri Schiavo as part of a grand conspiracy to "take away our rights." Eisenberg's book is a misleading, disingenuous case of the pot calling the kettle "black."
