The Schiavo issue

The things that are being said were being said when all this rumbled it's way through the courts. They were rejected.

And after that whole long painful process, are we now to draw guns?

One brother waging his war internationally, the other waging his at home and all of us just watching.

I am sick to my stomach

According to most accounts he did not even start to care about her "wishes" until the insurance money ran out and an insurance policy paid on her death became the prize. All I am saying is that it is naive to assume that this man IS in fact acting in a loving fashion and carrying out her wishes. You and I do NOT know the real truth to all of this- and I am with Wendybeth, the man is not to be trusted.

Bashing Bush (Gov. or Pres.) is just your side game, and it detracts from the core of the issue, IMO. I actually agree to some extent that the gov't should not have gotten so deeply involved, and yet I also see why they did-

Were I simply assuming, I would have to agree with you. I am basing my opinion on a situation that has been in court for over 10 years, discussed nine ways til Sunday and ruled on numerous times. If that's naive, then hell I'll wear that banner.

How many court rulings do you have in favor of the Schindlers and the Bushes?

How many was that again?

So it doesn't matter how many times the courts, both federal and state, have ruled, eh?

Seriously, why do you think the courts don't see or don't believe the evidence you see and believe? Are they on a mission to kill Terri, as Mrs. Schindler alleges in the news today about Judge Greer? Is the information just not getting to them for some reason?

Of course, you know I disagree. I do not believe Pres. Bush would have gotten involved in this if not for trying to score a few political points for himself and Gov. Bush by stirring up the fundies. His position now is in direct opposition to his position on the Futile Care law in Texas he signed while Governor of Texas.

And do we have to discuss Gov. Bush's last attempt to circumvent the courts being ruled unconstitutional? And now he's talking about taking up arms in defying the court.

G H W Bush must be so proud of his boys

Oh, so do I. So do I. And it has nothing to do with Terri Schiavo.
