Terri Schiavo appears in Jeb Bush ad, and her husband calls Jeb 'disgusting'
Tampa Bay Times ^ | 1/26/16 | Adam C Smith

Posted on 01/26/2016 10:07:58 AM PST by jimbo123

The Right to Rise super PAC helping Jeb Bush is airing an ad in South Carolina that features a photo of Terri Schiavo, the brain dead Pinellas County woman, who died 10 years ago despite Bush's efforts to halt the removal of her feeding tubes. The ad features a picture of Mrs. Schiavo as well as an image of what appears to be someone at the vigil outside her hospice holding a Jeb! campaign sign.

Says the narrator: "He's a man of deep faith who fought time and again for the right to life."

"That is the South Carolina state flag...the blue part with the crescent moon and palm tree.- nfldgirl

Thank you...if I were a South Carolinian I'd opt to reconsider the SC state flag design given current political circumstances.

My memory of the event is hazy but wouldn’t the involvement of the state police prompted the deployment Federal law enforcement who would have arrested local law enforcement trying to interfere with a judicial decision?

No. Federal troops cannot be activated on us soil. The governor was afraid to stand up to the local sheriff. He could have sent in the national guard to protect Terry’s life. His brother was in the white house. He could easily have stopped her from being terminated. He did nothing.
The salacious immorality of Terry’s husband and the vile involvement of the Church of Scientology were not opposed with action to insure decency and respect for life by the governor.How dare he credit himself with justice for Terry.

Not troops. Federal Law Enforcement.

Yes, because Terri Schiavo’s husband was the one who was trying to have her killed. Bush did the best he could - and I was outside the hospital when we thought he was going to send the state police but the local police and the county police announced that they would resist with force any attempt to remove Terri Schiavo from the hospital. This was because her husband wanted her kept there and killed there, and they were all Scientologists and the Scientologists control the police and courts in that county.

He didn’t want a shooting war and a constitutional crisis. If Jim King, supposedly a Republican, had permitted the Florida legislature to pass the law that Bush had proposed (after already having gone to the Supreme Court to get it done), this wouldn’t have happened. But Bush got NO support from the Florida GOP or even from the local Catholic bishop, the morally compromised (for financial and homosexual reasons) Bp. Lynch.

I couldn’t agree with you more. However, I do see why it came to such prominence, as the night is so beautiful at times, especially where there are palmettos (little palms) and the beautiful moonlit sky up beyond them. But each time I see it, I think of that very thing.

No. Because the federal forces were under the command of a supposedly pro-life BUSH.

That is perfect Bush-think. Better that murder be normalized than that we have a "crisis." To have a bunch of murdering cops shot dead in the street would have been the healthiest thing that could possibly happen for the country.

Thousands of American cops proved that they will commit murder, as long as it's considered "normal" to do so, during the pro-life rescue movement.

Under the Prez as CIC. W would not have moved against his brother.

The effort to protect Terri went all the way to the Supreme Court. One side comprised a
pope (John Paul II), a president (George W. Bush) and a governor (Jeb Bush), as well as
Democratic leaders (former Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin, for example), and many ordinary
Americans who didn’t believe that providing food and water for a living human being
with a brain injury could reasonably be regarded as extraordinary care.

Bobby Schindler, brother of Terri

Now, whether or not Bobby agrees with the ad, we don't know.
But we do know that he praises both Bushes for their roles.
