Charlie Crist Let My Daughter Die

Charlie Crist Let My Daughter Die

by Robert Schindler, Sr. Posted Jul 31, 2006

As most Americans know, on March 31, 2005, my daughter, Terri Schindler Schiavo died of starvation and thirst after having her feeding tube removed by court order. The sad chain of events that concluded with Terri’s death ignited a media firestorm nationally and internationally. What few saw or heard was the callous inaction of aspiring governor Charlie Crist.

Florida Atty. Gen. Charlie Crist let my daughter die. He had it within his authority to save her life, but he turned a blind eye to her suffering. Even worse, he worked to ensure her death.

Terri lived in a neurologically compromised state for reasons that are still unknown, and my family wanted nothing more than permission to care for Terri for the span of her natural life. We were denied.

My daughter tenaciously fought for her life for more than 13 days after being deprived of the most basic, natural and constant need that we all share—the need for nourishment—food and water. Terri was not on a respirator, nor terminally ill. She was not dying, nor succumbing to a dreadful disease. She was disabled. She was dependent on others, but still very much a life, a woman, and a person.

Over the course of several years, our family, our lawyers, and our friends pleaded for help from local, county, and state police and regulatory agencies with constitutional and statutory authority to investigate the many sworn statements of extreme abuse and neglect suffered by our daughter.

Hoping to save my daughter’s life, our family sought the help of Attorney General Charlie Crist. Not only did Charlie Crist refuse our family lawful access to the assets of his office, but he violated his oath of office by actively cooperated with those in positions of political and judicial authority whom denied us legal access to the police and regulatory systems meant to protect the weak. Multiple sworn agents from responsible police and regulatory agencies who found probable cause to investigate allegations of abuse in Terri's judicial and physical care, were ordered to shut down those probes. This heavy-handedness made us powerless.

Information of direct interest to Attorney General Charlie Crist's office was directly delivered to his personal hands, and he refused to properly execute the duties of his office. And it was with deliberate decision that he failed to attend a scheduled Tallahassee meeting with our family. On another occasion, we approached each other by chance. Upon recognizing me, Charlie Crist abruptly stopped and walked away.

That callous action encapsulates Charlie Crist. He walked away from a man whose daughter’s fate he controlled. At that moment, he turned his back on Terri. And he turned his back on the most fundamental duties of his office.

It is quite clear that Charlie Crist, to this day, has demonstrated no public affection for the cause of life, or Christianity, or any set of core values. He has been posturing to become governor for decades. With each voting audience he has crafted a message based on the expediency of the moment.

To add insult to injury, at a recent banquet, our alleged pro-life candidate for the Governor of Florida said the following about Judge George Greer and other judges involved in the death of my daughter, "You are heroes to all of us, and your defense of the judiciary and what is right is beyond admirable."

Through his actions, Charlie Crist has demonstrated that he has no regard for our most vulnerable citizens, the high duties of public office, or life itself. Charlie Crist’s celebration of the merciless judges who condemned Terri to death speaks to his true character.

I'm sorry, I've slept since the last time I viewed this thread. Dozens of names have been introduced in the various posts and I can't even find the one you responded to - please enlighten me by telling me which "he" is the "Rapist-in-Briefs with an "R" instead of a "D"" are you referring to?

DON'T FORGET THIS. Derek Newton, the liberal who is teaching Mikey how to be a good democrat WROTE MICHAEL SCHIAVO'S BOOK (not a best seller, I might add).

"“We are not a big financially powerful PAC yet,” said Derek Newton, a Democratic consultant in Miami who sold Mr. Schiavo on the PAC and now serves as its director. “We are just looking at what makes sense and how we can do it.” Excerpt Abby Goodenough is out of Miami for the NYT. I'm sure Derek Newton pre-arranged the interview with Abby Goodenough. I doubt Abby would fly somewhere up north to hook up with Mikey being that she and Newton are both in Miami. If so, it just proves that the New York Times and its other paper the St. Pete Times are liberals.

At Terri's 2003 Vigil, Goodenough was outside of hostage woodside. It appears now she's on the inside track with the death cultists some 3 1/2 years later.

>> The curtains are drawn. I hope Jodi's okay.

She can't say she wasn't warned about marrying a wife-killer. And she can't say she could hope to have a quiet, private life with him or give her children a normal life. There is more to being a lady than holding your teacup correctly. Keeping your legs crossed helps at times too.

No! Liberals! No! I am shocked. I am gabberflasted. I am gobsmacked. I am reaching for the smelling salts. I am snuffling in a dark corner. I am twisting an embroidered hankie in my great, bear-like, manly hands. Liberals! Who would ever have suspected it by reading either paper!

The sheeples might not know the St. Pete Times is a bunch of liberals. They endorsed GOP's liberal son, Crist who is tied to Greer's death club.

***Crist is PRO-JUDGES,PRO-UNIONS,PRO-EUTHANASIA and PRO-TRIAL LAWYERS, PRO-CASINO GAMBLING and most of all PRO-CHARLIE. CRIST is also the king/queen of coverups.

Crist's position on ASSISTED SUICIDE: for it.

"Right to Die: Promote the availability of end of life choices, including living wills and coordination with hospice care. Crist would not support government involvement in end-of-life decisions, siding with the ACLU in criticizing Governor Bush's actions in the Terri Schiavo case."

End of Life Decisions is ASSISTED SUICIDE. Charlie Crist is for euthanasia.

Lord have mercy. I am sorry to hear that. I doubt, I hope, they didn't know any better. Michael on the other hand knew Terri could feel pain and testified to it beforehand under oath.

Cranford, Felos, Bushnell and Greer committed murder and insisted that it was good.

They knew right from wrong as well. They, like the people in the era we describe, just don't think they will get caught.

Nazi selection of those to be killed was based purely on utility. The only question was whether victims were strong enough for slave labor.

They had them figured out to the penny, and as you say, the trolls do that to. To them, it must mean to kill the weak saves them money. How nice.

That is the logic of all forms of socialism. Everybody puts their labor into the common pot. Everbody takes their living out of the common pot. Therefore, we all have an interest in what everyone else contributes. We all become busybodies. It is plain good sense and rational for the more productive/stronger half to kill the weaker half who don't contribute their share. Then there will be more for everybody -- everybody who survives, that is. The logic is irrefutable if you have no moral law. Socialists recognize no moral law.

And once the weaker half are killed off, the same logic applies again -- kill the underproductive! In the end, I suppose it would get down to two socialists, with one socialist killing off the other.

I wish to remind our socialist friends, the cure for this lunacy is free market economics and moral law.
