Still More Schiavo

More Here

1) The righty media keeps saying, "What is the husbands hurry?" and implying that he has ulterior motives - what do they mean "hurry" - it's been YEARS!! I imagine any life insurance he gets would be eaten up by legal bills. They also wonder why he doesn't just let the family take care of her like they want. She didn't want that! When people get married their spouse has legal rights over the parents and that's the way it should be. Parents have a hard time seeing their children as adults I think in someways, but a spouse (usually) doesn't have that problem.

2) Wasn't it about 13 years ago that the religious right was saying medicare patients shouldn't be kept alive like this because it was against "God's plan"? What's different here? I don't get it! Only rich people should be kept alive or something?

3) Some of these people who are so upset about her being allowed to die have no idea what they are talking about, including some of the people in Congress. They also seem to lack an understanding of the Constitution and the separation between the Judicial and Legislative branches and the role they are meant to play.

4) You know damn well some of these folks in Congress are using this poor families pain to attempt to get political gain AND how about deflecting some of that attention Delay was getting? The media goes right along like a piddling puppy waiting for a chance to hump the President's leg. Shame on them all. And shame on the Dems that voted for this.

5) Where are the Libertarians?! Where are the moderate Republicans?!

6) How can anyone compare this to the process death row inmates go through in their appeal process? Come on people. If you are going to go down that route, let me ask you, "Why is it ok to kill some people but not let others die? Shouldn't we let God sort that out too?"

7) The righty media also says, "Why can't we let the family have their day in court?" What the hell are you talking about? You mean, keep trying different courts until some judge agrees with them?

I could go on and on about this...heck I am!

Yes, the family has had 15+years and LOTS of days in court. All that's left now is the political fallout. I hope this bites W/DeLay in the ass.
