What good is a government that starves a disabled woman to death? What good is a party that lets it?

Highly unfair comment. Ms. Schiavo would have been dead years ago without the support of Republicans like Jeb Bush. The Republicans TRIED. The democrats stood by and demanded she die.

For this the Republicans are punished. And many on this site state they will not vote for Republicans again.

What is your solution? You contend the Republicans LET this happen. What did your new party, the democrats do to help?

The government isn't starving her to death, her husband is doing that. The fact that he CAN do it is a result of laws that allow him the final say over his wife's medical treatment. This has been a good thing for the most part, over the years, but there is no provision in the law for time when there is a conflict of interest on the part of the spouse who is making the decisions, and the spouse's biological family wants to take over.

We are a nation of laws, and those laws must be followed. We can't allow the 'government' to take matters into it's own hands because of an emotional argument. Remember, the 'government' will not always be in the hands of folks we might trust. In that event we would be wishing for them to follow the law. That's way the Democrats are not in power right now, because the voters perceived that they could not be trusted.

Let's not let the MSM determine how we make our political choices by inflaming our emotions in this case. It is clear they don't like Republicans in general and Christians in particular, so they'll to anything that will put these groups in a bad light. They want to turn us against the President so that the Democrats can return to power. Is that what will be the best thing for this country?
