Thompson talks of daughter who died

TAMPA, Fla. - Republican Fred Thompson sidestepped a question about the Terri Schiavo right-to-die case last month, saying he didn't remember the details. On Monday he said he's uncomfortable discussing it because of his own daughter's death.

"And this will probably be the last time I ever address it."

He added: "It should be decided by families. The federal government and the state government, too — except for the court system — ought to stay out of it, as far as I'm concerned."

All I can say about the CARLA IYER AFFIDAVIT is did the judge actually see this? If so (and at this point, I would think so) why oh why didn't she have a guardian ad litem?

There are at least 3 more caregivers of Terri that filed affidavits, too. Greer, as a finder of fact Judge, refused to consider any of them. Just a fact.

When one looks at the time frame that describes these caregivers experiences that they swear to, one must consider the below document in the proper time frame. Maybe you don't know, but Michael Schiavo was awarded the guardian of the year in Florida for killing his wife.

Motion For Temporary Restraining order

COMES NOW, Emily Layton, in her capacity as the Administrator
of Sabal Palms Health Care Center, by and through her undersigned
Attorney, and files this, her Motion for Temporary Restraining
Order which would restrain the current guardian, Michael Schiavo,
from coming upon the property of Sabal Palms Health Care Center and
contacting any of its staff or residents, by telephone or by
communication outside and off the property of Sabal Palms Health
Care Center, until further order of this Court and, as a basis
therefor, would assert:

Attached hereto and identified as Exhibit"___" through
"___" are Affidavits attesting to the events involving Michael
Schiavo which have occurred at Sabal Palms Health Care Center on or
about Saturday, February 12, 1994.

As these Affidavits indicate, Michael Schiavo, the guardian of the ward,
Theresa Marie Schiavo, entered the premises of Sabal Palms Health
Care Center in a belligerent manner and caused fear of bodily injury
to the staff members and/or residents of Sabal Palms Health Care
Center.

Fred Thompson NO INTERVENING. He sides with death lobby.

NO VOTE FOR HIM. He's Dr. Kevorkian without the medical bag.

Hospices are for the terminally ill. Terri Schiavo was alert and aware and not terminally ill or wracked with disease. The only disease was in the minds of the death cultists with their foothold in Pinellas County. Terri wasn't even eligible for a hospice which is SIX MONTHS OR LESS. She was in one for FIVE YEARS. They held her prisoner for a long time as they had the means to do it.

Being disabled is not the same as being terminal. Mixing the two just confuses lurkers here. There a good hospices and bad ones. Hostage (Hospice Woodside) is really bad one. It's the biggest and the baddest. They dress and act like zombies. They at least here, scare the patients by their lingo and their eery presence. Bad people who enjoy their work a bit too much.

Fred’s done something wrong now. We cannot risk a rash of euthanasia killings under a Fredministration. He’s a declared euthanasist as of this week.

You can walk from the scientology hotel to the courthouse. The Clwtr Bar holds breakfasts & luncheons, etc. at the sci-fi hotel. Their attorney gave Greer an award for killing Terri. Scientology believes that healthy people have rights. They were pulling for Michael is alleged to be a closet scientologist.

Fred Thompson became pro-euthanasia on Oct. 25. I wonder which death cultist gave to his campaign. How many pieces of silver did it take?

You have got to be out of your mind. You have NO IDEA that your accusation is true.

It’s holy roller nutcases like you that are EXACTLY the kind of faux-Christian nutjobs that threaten the conservative movement.

Would you sit down and listen to how absurd you sound? You presume to know all the circumstances...and whether or not Fred’s daughter had a living will...or any chance of survival...or anything else.

The discussion was about the death of Fred Thompson’s daughter, not Terry Schiavo. Assumptions were made and, by implication, accusations. And there is NO basis to make those accusations or assumptions.

Quit looking at everything through a straw.

But then he/she wouldn't be able to produce ridiculous, false accusations about Thompson's integrity and value of life...

What exactly is wrong with you? Were you fed lead paint chips as a child? Where are you getting these ridiculous assumptions?

What if...and perhaps I’m going out on a limb here...but what if God had intended for Terri to die in 1991??? Perhaps he took her soul to heaven long ago as a feeding tube kept her body alive here.

We don’t KNOW that. Any more than you KNOW what you claim to know...that is...

Well, we all know Judge Greer issued an order that she also could not be fed orally either. We also know that Michael Schiavo basically put your thoughts on Terri's tombstone. Where do you want to go from there?

Where did you come from? Thompson is losing steam. This thread appears that Fred Thompson is using his daughter as an excuse not to talk about Terri or any similar situation -ever. A president doesn’t get to pick and choose what situations he finds himself in. Game over for him.

Fred’s losing steam. I didnt start this thread but he uses the same verbage as the right to die movement. Pull his voting booth plug now.

I’m not a holy roller. I’m a paralegal. Euthanasia is a civil rights issue, in addition to a religious one. Sorry you were handed the weekend shift. I have nothing more to say. Fred’s not a knight in shining armor. He is lazy imo and he’s an avoider, not a take charge kind of guy.

Did Hunter’s staff pay you for the Fred-trash this weekend?
