Fred and Terri tar baby dailies...

They just don't MoveOn.

This modest excerpt is from the LA Times. No, it isn't just about Romney and the Obama Nation. (Osama Nation wouldn't sound right.)

.................................

You may recall, candidate Fred Thompson was asked a few weeks ago about the highly controversial Terri Schiavo right-to-die case from two years ago in which the husband of a Florida woman in a persistent vegetative state wanted to remove her feeding tube. Her parents went to court and Gov. Jeb Bush, Congress and other politicians got into the struggle.

Thompson said he didn't really recall much about the case, and some people clucked and said, How could he not? Well, Thompson was talking with some reporters last week and, it turns out, he remembers it too well. He just didn't want to talk about it: Like a growing number of Americans, he had gone through a similar end-of-life decision -- regarding his daughter five years ago................................

He knew about Schiavo

Fred and Terri take two.

Are my eyes deceiving me? This extract is from a site named freep.com. Are they all FReepers? I think not, they are from Detroit Free Press. How novel.

...........................

Obviously I knew about the (Terri) Schiavo case. I had to face a situation like that in my own personal life with my own daughter. ... And I will assure you one thing: No matter which decision you make, you will never know whether or not you made exactly the right decision.

Fred Thompson, Republican presidential candidate, in the New York Times

A choice with lifelong doubts

People we have never met should NEVER be killed by judicial activism or a flawed government based upon "our personal life experiences". That's a total cop-out.

Fred's daughter was bi-polar, Terri wasn't. Fred's daughter overdosed. Terri did not.

Fred's daughter wasn't starved and dehydrated to death by Judge George Greer and the other men in black robes who are thick as thieves with the blind sheik Greer, his cronies who include the Pinellas GOP, Pinellas State Attorney Bernie McCabe, the right to die bloodthirsty lawyers, the aclu, the atheists of Florida, by our current Governor Charlie Crist and those famous brothers! The list is longer than that but I'm trying to keep this short.

(Alan Keyes was snubbed and he had documentation proving Jeb had the authority to save Terri. He was snubbed but Jesse Jackson was used as Jeb's mouthpiece on that particular Wednesday. Jeb, we hardly knew ye.)

It's at cnn. It's what happened the day before Terri died. How tough, whatta big man abandoning an innocent woman! Then making Jesse do the talking. Jeb = UNELECTABLE. Jeb = coward.
