It's just a hunch, I have no evidence. I have no inside information, accept what I intuit from what I see.
The Pubs made a bad move with the Federal Legislation; GWB realized that too late.
He could not storm the hospice for 2 reasons: (1) The media would have eaten him alive as a police state Hitler; (2) there are police offers guarding the hospice who have a duty also, and there could have been bloodshed. The worst of all worlds.
The same applied to Jeb Bush-
I believe that GWB, Jeb and all the pubs backed off because, if they didn't, the media would have roasted them- and public support wasn't behind them. Pres was at 43% approval.
So, the most underestimated politician in history, started working back channels through Lieberman and Jackson. I think GWB persuaded Jesse to go to Flordia.
I think they now have the votes to pass Fla. Legislation, it's just a matter of getting the wording right- so to appease the miserable Fla. Supreme Court.
The DEMS will get the credit for saving Terri, the Bushs will be seen as weakened. BUT GWB will have saved Terri's life.
Hopefully, Terri can hang on. But, in my heart, I think we do our greatest President an injustice and disservice when we say he gave up on Terri- He's sacrficed to take a political beating, to save Terri's life.
Underestimated again!
NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER!
O.K., we'll see if you are right, but write me down as "hopefully skeptical." Jeb said that he had not even discussed Terri with GWB.
First time post, Vanity?
I think the pro death crowd didn't expect Terri to hold on this long and Americans have had a lot longer to think about this than was expected.
Feh, K. You don't even have a firm grasp on the obvious. Too bad, so sad.
Let him LIVE, Doctor! Please! Let him LIVE!
I guess we can say that at the funeral
NOT if he or his brother personally led Law Enforcement into that hospice. Would the cops shoot Governor and/or President Bush???? I think NOT!
Is there a chance of getting legislation through?? I hope so! I don't want Terri to die. It's breaking my heart.
From a political view, there isn't anything substantive happening in either state or federal
governments (all three branches).
Here is my vanity for you.
You hopes she 'hangs on' because.....?
Somehow I don't think that would have STOPPED Clinton.
You know, I'm even afraid to ask.
NO. That was wrong. Two wrongs do not make a right.
"So, the most underestimated politician in history, started working back channels through Lieberman and Jackson. I think GWB persuaded Jesse to go to Flordia."
Um. It's "Misunderestimated." Aren't you up on current slanderous events? ;)
And personally, I think your theory is Nutso-Kookoo! Dubya paling around with 'The Reverend Jackson?' Not in our lifetime.
Excuse me? You're saying that the media would have KILLED George Bush? That his LIFE was at risk? You are saying that the prospect of being CRITICIZED is sufficient reason to make oneself an accomplice in a murder.
And the police who are guarding the hospice are all the moral equivalent of S.S. at Auschwitz. Every one of them is disregarding the fact that a woman in the hospice is being murdered, and is "chust obeying orderss" like a good Nazi. Every one of those cops is offering the State of Florida blind obedience. Blind obedience is a form of fanaticiam--i.e., a form of idolatry. In this case, it is idolatry offered to the State, giving the State the place in one's life that only God has a right to.
Jeb Bush is also an idolater, no longer a Christian, because his god is the State of Florida, to whose total, absolute authority over human life Bush is willing to offer, in homage, Terri Schiavo's life. Bush has faced a choice: to be a Christian, or to occupy (without facing a crisis) a position within the God-State of Florida. He has chosen his god, the State.
What we are seeing in the cops and in the Bushes is fanaticism, idolatry, and totalitarianism. They all concede to the State the power to take innocent life, and they are all willing to collaborate in the State's murders.
Cripple,
Agreee with you there. Incredible display of wanting to life, from a woman who told her estranged husband she would never want to live under these conditions, eh?
NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! Churchill
Meanwhile, in a hospice in Florida Terri continues to be starved to death...
