I've noticed you've used the terms "extremist", "fanatic", and "extreme right" quite a bit. Since the vast majority of freepers disagree with your take on the situation, do you consider FR to be an extremist right wing forum?
Rush is talking about your precious poll...... You better go join the liberals fast.
Calling those of us who do not agree with the way this thing has gone "a pro-death contingent" is a perfect example of what I was talking about. You've chosen to label people into a neat little box.
Many's the time I've shaken my head to find myself on the same side as robertpaulsen in this. But, that's where the evidence and facts have led me. I also quite clearly see the overall damage this WILL do to my party.
Debate if you want, but I'll no more respond to the "pro-death" crap in this instance than I would if RP called me a drug addict because I do not support the WOD, either.
You first. You're the one who wants the government involved here, not me.
You also one of those calling for the national Guard to be called out?
"You first. You're the one who wants the government involved here, not me."
You are delusional, Congress acts Constitutionally and you come unglued.
"You also one of those calling for the national Guard to be called out?"
What are you talking about?
A fair question. I consider FR to be a conservative political forum which therefore tends to include the more extremist rightwingers in its membership.
It thus is far MORE rightwing than the overall population. The forum as a whole is not what I would call "extremist", however sometimes it seems to go that way on several issues.
Did I answer your question?
Perhaps that was a bit strong. Allow me to reword that to "the folks on FR who feel the feeding tube should remain disconnected."

This issue has certainly created strange bedfellows. For instance, I disagree strongly with Cultural Jihad and Dane on the illegal immigration issue, but I am in total agreement with them on these threads. In fact, I've gotta give them both credi for posting some very good, eloquent points in the last few days.

Paulsen doesn't typically name call like that. There are plenty of pro-WOD posters that do though.
Then you pointedly ignored the request for a cite to the "denial", while ADMITTING that none existed in another post.
Then you flung mud in an attempt to hide the above, and get in yet another amusing rant.
Yep, you're performing exactly as I expected.
I was just using that as an example. Not tryin' to diss paulsen.
What part of the Constitution gives them the power to overturn a state court's ruling? What part gives them the power to intervene in a state's judicial proceedings?
And now that they have apparently seized that power, what part of the Constitution limits it?
Wow - your rage makes me wonder if you have guilt issues about having pulled the plug on someone.
"What part of the Constitution gives them the power to overturn a state court's ruling? What part gives them the power to intervene in a state's judicial proceedings?"
Again what are you talking about, "overturn a state court's ruling". That is a false statement. Check out who it was that created this beast. Article 3.
"And now that they have apparently seized that power, what part of the Constitution limits it?"
"SEIZED"???? What a flawed concept, to accuse the Congress seized something that the Constitution provides.
This Poll just shows that a lot of people don't know the real story. Anyone who really knows what is going on, knows that it is Michael Schiavo who should have nothing to do with the decision to remove the feeding tube, not the Government.
And of course it is the MSM that is responsible for misinforming so many people.
2004 push-polls
Nov 2004 exit push-polls
Zogby Nov 2004 push-polls
oversampled democrats, urban voters, democrat areas
they were heavily weighted all for Kerry
but this one is different I'm sure
I suppose the truth does sort of give me a thrill. The truth is exhilerating.
Why are you afraid to discuss what is going on here (the woman is currently being _____starved to death_______, after all, with no proof that she ever expressly stated she would want a feeding tube removed in order to starve to death if she were to end up in her current state of health).
LOL! Moving those goalposts must tire your back out. To refresh your memory, I never made any claims regarding the memo. I only asked for a cite to the "denial". It was YOU who claimed a denial that didn't exist. And you apparently do not wish to deal with the fact that they have admitted its existance WITHOUT denying that they sent it out.
You made a claim. It was false. You even ADMITTED it was false, though you "forgot" to take it back and tried to shift the subject. So typical.
The rest of your post is your usual squealing.
And you somehow think you've "won" something.
And people wonder why I have a hard time taking ANYTHING people like you say seriously.
Or even something LIMITING this new power. I guess now ALL state court matters will now be turned federal, in your utopia.
I don't wonder at all why this poll indicates what it does. And now I am certain that subsequent polls will also indicate the same.
