Jeb Bush flies around South America trying to promote bogus "free trade agreements" like CAFTA and FTAA but would not lift a finger to save Terry Schiavo.

[tallhappy]

Jeb Bush tried. He failed and backed down when push came to shove.

Their side will fight, apparently. Ours won't.

[andyk]

It’s a very smooth, graceful and elegant way to go

How on earth could anyone believe that this sentence is describing dying of thirst?

[Walkure]

Jeb has no guts, no courage. This is what happens when you elect someone from a blueblood background of wealth and privilege. They have no fire in the belly, no gumption, and no willingness to take risks. Because Jeb matured in a safe, pampered environment, he felt no reason to do anything that might rock the boat. This passiveness and inaction which stems from privilege helped cost Terri Schiavo her life.

Jeb bush did take some action. But it was too late and not enough.

Why would he help Terri? That would be the decent, humane and constitutional thing to do !!!

[TAdams8591]

"Consider, for instance, the major media claim that death by starvation and dehydration is painless."

A dsigusting lie that we all know from experience is a LIE!!! They are certain of their power to BRAINWASH the American people.

[OldFriend]

We're not lied to. We have decided that if we were in that condition we would not want to live.

Is that so hard to understand?

Is it the right of the Courts or a family member to undo that decision and do what THEY want.

[Ronaldus Magnus]

Jeb Bush...would not lift a finger to save Terry Schiavo.

I am also deeply disappointed in the lack of courage of many Republicans, particularly in Sen. Frist who could only pass a meaningless bill. Let's never forget however that it was a perverted judicial oligarchy that literally ordered Terri's starvation to death and illegalized all attempts to feed her. The Republican legislators and executives may not have done enough to save her, but it was our entire judicial system that murdered her.

This whole thing was one bog lie more here

[Duke Wayne]

I new this day was coming but it really hurts. Never met Terri but I hope to some day and I hope she knows a lot of us did what we could. Most of us are not rich or famous but we do care and have a deep faith in the Lord and know that one day we will have to answer for our wrong doings. I wonder if her good for nothing husband (I use husband gritting my teeth) ever for one second thought about the after life. Probubly not but if he thinks for one second he has everyone fooled there is someone greater that all of us, and when this snake meets him I hope he has to look Terri in all her happiness for at that moment he will begin his after life in his new diggs. Boy its Hot in here!

[Ann Archy]

That's idiotic.

[American72]

Patients who are terminally ill and conscious and refuse food and drink at the end of life say that they do not generally experience pangs of hunger, since their bodies do not need much food

My sister in law said her mother in law refused her feeding tube at the very end of her life when she had terminal cancer. Belinda said she was not hungry or starving. She did, of course, have water and lived for about a month and died peacefully. That being said, the doctors are very disingenuous when they say this. This was NOT Terri's case. She was NOT terminally ill. There was no reason to dehydrate and starve her to death. To tell people this is a humane and ethical way to die is just wrong. What scum. People who are terminal are not the same as people who are brain damaged.

[Aquinasfan]

What I find most stunning is that the doctor who pronounced Theresa to be in a persistent vegetative state, and upon whom Judge Greer based his decision to murder her, is a board member of the "Choice in Dying" society, formerly known as the Hemlock Society.

He's also a hired gun in PVS cases. He has diagnosed at least 2 cases incorrectly, where the persons declared to be in a PVS regained consciousness and the ability to move their bodies.

In one case, where a wife sought to starve her husband who had emerged from a PVS, the doctor testified under oath that spoon-feeding constituted "medical care," and that his life was not worth living.

What we have here in attorney Felos and Dr. Cranford are sadistic murderers.

“There’s nothing unpleasant about it — in fact it can be quite blissful and euphoric.... It’s a very smooth, graceful and elegant way to go.”

I have heard the same thing about people who freeze to death.
I think what they are referring to is that a human being will often go into shock when experiencing a huge amount of trauma.
People in shock don't appear to be in pain they sometimes give the impression of blissfulness and euphoria.

[tang-soo]

What about the lie the MSM spread for several years that Terri was in a COMA?

[Alberta's Child]

Not only did Jeb Bush fail to do enough to help Terri -- he was, in fact, one of the main culprits in her murder.

Terri's so-called "husband" had the legal authority to starve her to death precisely because under a Florida statute signed into law by Jeb Bush himself in 1999, a feeding tube was specifically identified as "extraordinary" medical care that did not need to be maintained for all patients.

Anyone who thinks Jeb Bush was little more than a helpless bystander in this case is delusional. The reality is that it has ended exactly the way he envisioned when he signed that bill into law.

[bert]

The most ironic fact of all is that Terri's morbid fascination with starvation resulted in potassium deficiency that nearly stopped her heart and certainly impeded resuscitation.

Starvation was apparently a way of life for her.

[HungarianGypsy]

I have a question. Who originally had the feeding tube inserted? Schaivo or the Schindlers? I have heard both ways. Also, where can it be documented so I have a real answer and not just rumor.

Randall Terry, on Hannity, just called Michael Slicko's liar (George Phallus) a "lying monster" -- can't imagine why.
