Lest we forget it was good 'ole Gov. Jeb had the authority to halt the murder by torture of Terri Schiavo. True to form, he turned away from his obligation to help another human being in her final hours of incomprehensible convulsing in extreme pain, while relizing she was slowly suffocating from a swollen tongue - this was the result of being denied sustenance of any kind. Additionally, her mandated death sentence by starvation included an accompanying deprivation of any water - all a part of a barbaric court decree.
IMHO, Gov. Jeb is a spineless piece of worthless flesh, who was complicit in the heinous murder of a defenseless woman who committed no crime.
His will be a judgment I wish upon no one, because it will be eternal, and it will be painful.
Worth repeating, and I will never forget that profile in cowardice.Without the State Police, there could be no enforcement of that illegal and unconstitutional(both Federal and State of Florida) order. And Jeb Bush was in charge of the State Police.
I mark 2005 as the watershed when the Republican Party lost its bearings. We had just reelected Bush the Younger the previous fall, and the GOP FINALLY took a stand on a social and cultural issue by trying to save Terri's life.
Then, when these spineless SOBS realized the invitations to the cocktail circuit would not be forthcoming if they did not fall into line behind pro-kill-Terri liberals, they caved like a house of cards.
Three years later they nominated John McCain, the worst possible choice to go against Hillary or Obama.
In 2010 we breathed new life into the GOP through Sarah Palin and the Tea Party, giving Boner back his stupid gavel.
As you can see, the GOP eunuchs have done nothing since 2005 to reclaim the high ground, or to "expend political capital".
I'll vote for the nominee one last time this Novemeber, but win or lose, it is high time for a conservative party to replace the GOP. The GOP has no future past November 6th. They need to go the way of the Whigs and into the history books. Nothing in life or politics is forever.
