THE DEMOCRATS - EXECUTIONERS
Have been gone all day, just got home. Have we made any progress in saving her?
Well, Judgement Day must be just around the corner when leftist Democrats discover states' rights and inveigh against the federal courts telling states what to do. For crying out loud, that's all the federal courts have been doing for the past 30 years. Read Mark Levin's book on the federal courts legislating from the bench on everything from abortion to the display of the Ten Commandments on the lawn of the Texas capital. Only when Republicans are trying to save the life of a disabled woman, whose poor father was on CNN tonight saying his daughter's teeth are rotting out because that worm of a "husband" won't allow her to get any dental work, do the members of the Democrat Death Party discover the sanctity of states' rights. What disgusting hypocrits! Shame on the people in Florida who voted for Wexler and that witch Wasserman.
I read on Drudge that we need a 2/3 vote of those present to pass the bill because rules have been susepended. If that's so, (1) how many House members are present and (2) how many of the Republicans are there?
This will go very badly for any Demonrat who vote against this. They will not make office next term.
Here is S.653, which is very similar...

It is truly incredible. Thank you, God.
Thanks for the thread.
However this is a ridiculous display of EGO for these representatives.
The only reason the Democrats are agreeing to this is that they don’t want to be known as the party that killed Terri.
Well that won't matter because they are the party of "DEATH" anyway you look at it.
Barney Frank (DEATH-Massachusetts) now posturing.
It is time to help Terri and to stop warehousing her.
14th Amendment right to due process...otherwise blood is on our hands.

GOD, Save the Vulnerable for the Bullies.
TERRI = Breathes, Eats, Speaks / MICHAEL = "When is that B-TCH gonna die?"
