Fine. Make it Kennedy Center. What percentage of the NYC population will it hold?
My point was specific to the political impact of the Schiavo case, not the facts; I'm not getting into that argument, because the regular participants on these threads know every detail far better than I do.
While a fair number of people still feel passionately that Jeb acted wrongly, a large majority do not, and I don't see it having a serious impact on any future election unless that election has a razor-thin margin.
I don't think you grasped my irony, nevertheless, the first thought flashing into my mind with the NYC analogy was this quote: "The Pope? How many divisions has he got?" Josef Stalin.
You are trying to separate politics from Terri's Legacy as if it were merely tangential, where in reality they are linked inexorably. Pooh pooh it if you wish, but just read only the posts I made this morning to get the drift.
I sense you are somehow justifying and defending Jeb. If so, consider this. We describe this thought process frequently enough in reviewing leftist thinking as cognitive dissonance, the ability to parse pro-life on one side and pro-lie on the other and somehow hold both together in separate compartments, for if we examine the two we find them mutually exclusive.
If I say I am pro-life, and I still love Jeb, I might wish to diminuate the role of pro-life so I can keep loving Jeb. I would have to, knowing the reality that he turned his back on this dying innocent.
Nice try, though.
If Jeb Bush had been a Democrat and allowed Terri to be murdered, Republicans would be all over him.
I WILL NOT give someone who allows a murder to take place a pass because they happen to be a member of a certain political party, or the brother and son of a president.
Jeb Bush had the clearly defined right and obligation under Florida’s Constitution to take physical custody of Terri to protect her. He DID NOT do this. If Terri had been one of Michael Vick’s pit bulls, Jeb would have been indicted for his role.
How in the world can we expect someone to protect the people of a state or the nation if they can’t even protect a woman lying in a hospital bed surrounded by rent-a-cops and some sheriff’s deputies?
