"The Schiavo case was sad, incredibly so. But it is over. Blaming Charlie Crist is insane. Blaming Jeb, or King, or anyone else is insane. One man had the legal authroity to make the decisions related to Teri's life and that man was her husband. No one else even deserves mention - not the judge, not the politicians. Michael made the dreadful choice, so if you want to blame someone, blame him.

A piece of advice to my friends in FL: If you insist on making your campaigns this year 2 issue battles - Schiavo and Abortion - you are going to lose election after election after election.

If Mr. Schindler insists on being politically active he risks becoming the Cindy Sheehan of the right."

BlueNgold,

With all due respect, it isn't over because people remain horrified and they're horrified because what happened to Terri can happen to any of us. Michael Schiavo is primarily responsible for her murder, but so many other people were complicit. Apparently AG Crist was one of them. Crist is supposed to be a public servant but he failed to protect an innocent woman. Judge Greer also broke the law by appointing himself her guardian - yet he never attempted to meet the woman, then sentenced her to death. There were plenty of legal opportunities for all the public officials involved to save her life. Because Terri's death was a horrible injustice, the Schindler family has said they want to help save lives and spare other families the same heartbreak. So that is nothing like Cindy Sheehan, who calls all attention to herself and her political motives. In other words, the Schindlers are good Americans and good Floridians warning their fellow citizens.

Whatever one may say or wish, the issue of Terri plays heavily still, and appears in other key races outside Florida as a critical factor. The issue keeps emerging in the assault by the far left on democrat Joe Lieberman not being left wing enough.

Lamont has countered this by drawing attention to other controversial aspects of Lieberman's record, such as his support of Congress' intervention in the Terry Schiavo case and his backing of the No Child Left Behind Act (which is the subject of a class-action lawsuit from dozens of Connecticut school districts).

Senate race too close to call

Terri on the road to recovery before the second stage began.

Under the Florida Statutes, adultery is a grounds for dismissal of a guardian on the spot but corruption runs deep in Pinellas County. Michael Schiavo should not have been allowed to possess Terri as if she were property. That is the kind of marriages they have in radical islam.

It is ignorant when posters give Michael way too many rights for being a bad husband. "One man had the legal authority to make the decisions related to Teri's life and that man was her husband."

There were plenty of others willing to take over the guardianship who would have provided the rehabilitation and love that Terri needed but was denied.

The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. NOT Judge Greer, Sheriff Rice, State Attorney Bernie McCabe, not Charlie Crist, not Judge Whittemore, not George Felos, Debra Bushnell, Ham Baskin, et al, the ACLU, not Howard Dean either. Not scheming democrats and misquided republicans in name only!

It's time for Charlie Crist's social promotions to end. I'm afraid he's just getting warmed up. He's only going to help special interests and there are NO, I repeat NO photos of Charlie Crist with a person in a wheelchair. That speaks volumes about indifference. Volumes. fregards, FV
