GW has said little and only signed the law brought to him by a bipartisan representation of Congress. Jeb has only done what the law allows him to and has done no more. What the Bushes have done is no more severe that what past Presidents have done when faced with similar impossible situations, such as Waco and the Gonzales case. But you keep screming your knee-jerk "BUSH BAD!!!" accusations and bull sh--. Jeez...whats next? Going to link Halliuburton to all this? The more that goes on, the more this case sickes me. I dont know whats worse: 1. The Hotpocket crowd bending over backwars to blame Bush, especially GW for this mess. 2. The Schindlers wasting everyones time and money with appeal after appeal after appeal. As time goes on, Im thinking more and more they are just enjoying the attention more than anything else. 3. MANY people, including the Schindlers, have NO PROBELM with our laws being broken wide open to "save Terri". 4. The politicians, especially Congress, grandstanding and openly trying to re-write our laws on the run, again seemingly having no problem overstepping their bounds. 5. The religious right making all kinds of threats to the politicians, again asking them to break the law. I could go on and on...tis whole thing is so !@#$ing ugly is makes that Waco and Gonzales casse look tame. Its become such a circus, so !@#$ed up, you wind up wishing Terri would "just die, already" so that this damn thing will just come to an end. You see Terri on TV and you instinctually wind up hating HER, becuase at the end of the day, shes the center of all this. Meanwhile, everyone else trots around, pontificates on TV how "right" they are and puts aside half oftheir convictions, morals, and even legal obligations for that cuase. Its like they are whoring out their ideals just for this one cause. Sad.

FL judge weighed in...NO DICE. ITS OVER, JOHNNY Time for the Schindlers to pack it in, sit by their daughter's bedside and let this issue and her be put to rest.

Too bad it was BI PARTISAN (know what that means??!!??) intervention by Congress in this case and pretty far from on-sided. BUSH BAD!!!! BUSH BAD!!! FLIGHTSUIT!!!!!!!!!!! And how, exactly was the "Constitution Shredded" here? By properly meeting all weekend to decide if the Judicial Branch should get involved at all and then going to the Executive Branch for signoff? Excuse me, but that is our government working EXACTLY how its intended to. And at the end of the day, know what the Judicial Branch said? NO THANKS...they arent getting involved. But hey, you got an Iraq and SS reference in there....good work. Now go get your Hotpockets.

He is still legally married to her right? Then the laws still apply, no matter how bad the marriage has become.

OK...but its still up to her husband to make the decision, if thats what the law says. Someone else mentioned it...not sure here or somethere else.....The Republicans have been marching on this "Sanctity of Marriage" crutch for a while now. Well, here it is again, but the ugly side of it. Cant have it both ways, people. But, AS USUAL, people want to follow only the parts of the ideology that they agree with.

They are both self-serving loudmouth !@#$s.

Next up for the Schindlers..the 12th Circuit...and the 13th and the 14th and the 15th. This kills me to say it...becuase I do "value life", whatever the !@#$ that means these days....but the decision has been made in full accordance of the law of this land. Every part of our government has weighed it and made their decision. Its time to let it go.

Im starting to turn here. The Schindlers are really getting out of hand wit htheir appeals to get every governing officer from Tallahassee to Timbuk Two involved. How about THIS, Schindlers... We re-insert the feeding tube.....and YOU, not the FL taxpayers, pay for her care from this moment forward? DEAL?????

This discussion is silly. We all know that not all terrorists are Muslims. But we also ALL know that Muslim, yes MUSLIM Extremists have a hard-on for using commercial aircraft as part of their terrorist tactics and have for a long, long time. These people have even bragged about them doing it and have threatened to do it again! So its not unrealistic, nor is it racist to have feelings of doubt or trepidation when you see young Arab men...especially multiple Arab men on your flight.

Oklahoma City sets off bells. The other hundred some-odd terrorist acts done at the hands of Muslim Extremists sets off whole Orchestras. Sorry, but the exception is NOT the rule.

Yep...weve reached the point in the history of the world when shoving a pair of breasts into a murderer's face is "torture", but starving an inncent defenseless woman to death is "humane".

NY Daily News Lead Editorial 3/19/05: World warms to W's war Fascinating it's been to rooster the ear and listen as the once-keening cry of the Bush-basher dims toward mufflement. You were hearing it as recently as weeks ago: Lied us into war, single-handedly cost us the world's respect, hurtled us all to the brink of annihilation. All at once, even European journals are wondering out loud, as are many home-grown scolds now hastening to reconsider their views: Good Lord, is it possible that American foreign policy is actually sane? You mean this Iraq thing looks like it might be working after all? You mean George W. Bush was - choke - right? Granted, there remains the stray voice of distemper, forlornly refusing to concede that this warmongering cowboy who stole the presidency could possibly have done anything correctly. Those of a more sensible persuasion will today, two years after U.S. troops started whooping their way toward Baghdad, recognize how profoundly better a place the world is on its way to becoming. This at the very least being a corollary result of Washington's bold stroke to take matters into its own hands, regardless of what this and that faintheart thought about such rude unilateralism. For the astonishing tilt toward a sort of democratization in assorted sectors of the Arab world is a planet-rattling phenomenon that was literally unthinkable practically yesterday. Not every one of these historic developments can be directly attributed to the Bush White House, but on the other hand it is mush-brained to imagine, for example, that Syria would today be swiftly retreating from Lebanon had not Washington demonstrated what becomes of tinhorn dictators who defy United Nations resolutions that the UN has not the viscera to enforce on its own. It is ludicrous to think that Libya would have abandoned its weapons programs had not Saddam Hussein's statues been toppled. It is improbable that Europe would today at last be talking tough with Iran's nuclear-happy mullahs were it not for Washington's own unflaggingly hard-line attitude. "Bush may end up being just as right as Reagan was," mused Germany's Der Spiegel the other day, referring to Ronald Reagan's famously deranged idea that Soviet Communism might be dismantled. Many current notions in the arena of foreign affairs run toward the same kind of confident lunacy, and the President's critics will certainly continue their carping. But less noisily, we think.

Wait....I thought a person's secuality doesnt matter, right? Funny how its always the LEFT bringing up matters of race, gender and sexual orientation.

Because letting someone die naturally and feeding her a lethal injection and essentially murdering her are two completely different things, thats why. She's a human being, not a sick, stray cat. And contrary to what PETA and some "enlightened" folks say, there IS a difference between the two. Honestly, I dont know where I stand on this issue, but Ill bet dollars to doughnuts that if it was YOUR kid or my kid sitting in that bed and we got anything more than a nose twitch when when whispered her name in her ear, we'd be fighting tooth and nail to keep her alive. Either way, watching vultures like Tom Dobson swarm in with his "flock" sickens me. Its the families' business to work out. Nobody elses.

Actually, there is a misconception about this thing being a "waste of time". Baseball has been granted a monopoly (antitrust exemption) by Congress, which makes it their responsibility to regulate the game. So Congress is well within their bounds to hold these hearings. But if you spent any time on them yesterday, it was easy to see they were the biggest farce ever. The Congressmen were ill prepared and spent half the time kissing the players asses. I think one even brough a McGwire rookie card for him to sign! It was a complete joke and if any indication of how things go on in Congress, its no wonder this Country is so screwed up.

Now wheres the rest, dumbass?

And why I mentioned a REPUBLICAN attack machine in my initial response. But we are all just "partisan hacks" jerking off to those "perfect" Republicans. Whatever. And whats even MORE funny is that this thread was a pretty good debate of the issue and what we all think about it until GENE stepped in and told Bishop to take his ball and go home. So in essense, the guy that killed the thread is the same person who is bitching that threads around here die too often! Priceless.

What "attacks"? All anyone is saying is that this is typical fare in today's media and a BS story reported using the same, tired, biased BS tactics employed by both parties. THAT is an attack? Give it a rest.

So he's going to "Pound It in the Ass Prison"????

Exactly. Little weird what went on? Definitely. Is this whole issue a complete partisan, biased, half-true, exaggerated hack job non-story that ranks right up there with the Swifties and the Bush Nat Guard thingy? Ab-so-!@#$ing-lutely. THATS why it hant gotten more attention. Because most with even half a brain can see this for what it is.

LOL....very cute. How about the fact that all the "heat" for this is coming from "liberal" bloggers? How about the whole sordid connection to the gay websites? As if THAT has anything to do with the issue here. How about that most of the "official" statements from govt. officials is coming from...tada!.....Democrats?

Welcome to the modern age...where what type of person you like to bang defines your character completely. My fave is bisexuals and how they are lumped in with other "minority" groups. As if they deserve special treatment with education and jobs becuase they like to !@#$ men and women.

It didnt gain steam because its a bull sh-- story. When there is as much dirty laundry behind the reporting of a story as there is behind the story itself, then its typically ignored.

The education union, always a left-leaning intitution, putting out unfair ads against the Republican Governor. Gotta love partisan hacks. And before you freak out, Im well-aware this BS goes both ways.

Key point of difference is that in any other religion, these barbaric practices and passages have been rendered pretty much irrelevant and are ignored. But in Islam, in many parts of the world, they are still accepted, practiced and condoned.
