yeah- a guy who hides what he believes in is SO much more trustworthy.

Vishnu Almighty! I didn't say, or imply, that a candidate needs to hide his faith.

If he speaks of his faith it would be on his sleeve
If he doesn't then he is hiding it

Not to speak for SacTown, but what I got out of that is the POTUS should not be running this country according to his religon and not be attempting to create laws because of his religion.

Have whatever religion you want. Practice it. Be proud to be it. But don't force it down the rest of our throats. Don't make laws that discriminate and use "the bible said so" to justify it. Don't make laws that take away others rights because "the bible said so".

Let's be careful of personalizing this issue. None of us have a feeding tub in, no, out, no in, no out, of our mouths.

Just discuss.

[Nephythys]

Feeding tub??? How hungry are you?

[Not Afraid]

Always hungry. Always.

This has gone to far!

PINELLAS PARK, Fla. - Terri Schiavo's parents saw their options vanish one by one Wednesday as a federal appeals court refused to re-insert her feeding tube and the Florida Legislature decided not to intervene in the epic struggle. Refusing to give up, Gov. Jeb Bush sought court permission to take custody of Schiavo.

The desperate flurry of activity came as President Bush suggested that Congress and the White House had done all they could to keep the severely brain-damaged woman alive.

I suppose he thinks he should have custody over her parents and her husband because he knows her so well. And I suppose he thinks he'll get it because he is the governer of Fl and his bro is the almighty prez.

Didn't Jeb also try to take custody of a convicted killer with the mental development of a seven year old before his brother could execute him? No? Huh. Must be a false "culture of life" memory on my part.

For "fun," some of you should head over to Fox News and read Hannity and Colmes transcripts from the last few days. Pat Robertson is weighing in on the Schiavo case tonight.
