Terri Schiavo's Former Husband Opposes Both Casey, Santorum in PA

Philadelphia, PA (LifeNews.com) -- Terri Schiavo's former husband Michael, the man who won court approval to subject her to a painful euthanasia death, has said he will not endorse either pro-life Sen. Rick Santorum or Democratic challenger Bob Casey in Pennsylvania's competitive Senate race.

Schiavo made the announcement at a campaign stop for two pro-abortion Congressional candidates he said his political action committee has endorsed.

He indicated he couldn't support either candidate because both supported legislation that allowed Terri's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, to have a federal court review their lawsuit seeking to prevent Michael from killing Terri.

Santorum voted for the measure in the Senate and Casey said he would have voted for it as well.

Michael specifically criticized Santorum, calling him "the only U.S. senator who flew to Florida and interfered with Terri Schiavo's private family tragedy."

Santorum was in Florida during the 13 day starvation and dehydration death Terri endured and joined in a news conference indicating he supported the Schindler's efforts to help their daughter.

But Michael also singled out Casey for mentioning Terri's plight in his campaign.

"What gives Casey the right to use my wife's case against Santorum when he would have voted the same way," Schiavo said, according to an AP report. "That's a bad race. The choice is between bad and worse."

In the races for the House, Schiavo has endorsed Democrat Joe Sestak, who is challenging pro-life Republican Rep. Curt Weldon and Democrat Patrick Murphy who is taking on pro-life Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick. His political action committee, TerriPAC, gave both candidates $1,000.

Both Weldon and Murphy voted for the bill to help Terri's parents in their fight to save her life.

The donations and endorsements are the latest in a line of political endeavors Michael has engaged in since he ordered Terri's death. He has waged an intense battle against any lawmakers who supported her parents and has campaigned in Colorado, Connecticut and Florida.

Meanwhile, Terri's parents and family have worked full-time for their foundation which seeks to help disabled patients and their families obtain appropriate health care and treatment.

It's a sad world when someone's whose only qualification is convincing the state to kill his wife is considered "helpful" in a Senatorial campaign.

Michael will get and deserve what he gets in the afterlife.

[calroady]

Who cares what this idiot thinks anyway.

[sinanju]

Somebody actually WANT'S this creep's endorsement???

[mockingbyrd]

What's he all angry about now? The guy should take his blood money and shut up......

[RedRover]

Good. Maybe all the no-values voters will just stay home in November.

[wagglebee]

He's out on book promotion tour, I guess the blood money wasn't enough.

Michael will get and deserve what he gets in the afterlife.

Who in the name a Kay Ryist could possibly give a good hoot in hell what Terri Schiavvo's widower has to say./

He doenst know sheit from shinola.

[edpc]

Hey, Michael, the 1980s called. It wants its blow-dry pompadour hair and "porn-stache" back.

Real estate scam artist Russ Whitney is also pissed your stealing his "look."

[mockingbyrd]

I saw that disgusting thing....so little about Terri so much about poor suffering him.

[river rat]

So....Who gives a shit what this clown does?
His 15 minutes of infamy are over.

Semper Fi

[trustandobey]

The comforting thing is there will be no one to hide behind when that time comes.

[srmorton]

My thoughts exactly!

[MPJackal]

"Terri Schiavvo's widower"

Correction: Terri Schiavo's murderer!

[Past Your Eyes]

Good news for Santorum. Too bad it probably won't put him over the top. I can't believe that Pennsylvania voters are going to give the bum's rush to a man of Santorum's obvious quality. I was thinking of retiring there but may have to rethink that now.

[Suzy Quzy]

Eternity is awaiting him unless he confesses to attempted murder and suing for murder.

[Halls]

this doesn't surprise me!

[Bommer]

....and who cares? It would only matter if they were both in a comatose state

[HarleyLady27]

If I was Santorum I wouldn't lose any sleep over what Michael have to say or think...

Anyone that would put his wife where she is isn't worth the powder to blow him to he-l

[Petronski]

Love that word: "pornstache." LOL

[peeps36]

Michael must be smoking crack if he thinks the voters want to hear what he has to say.I don't see how putting your wife to sleep turns you into somebody people respect.

[Just mythoughts]

Oh you would be surprised how many supported Mikie's position in pulling the plug on that woman. Wife? I would not consider her to be any such relationship to him, only that he legally owned her.

[T'wit]

>> "What gives Casey the right to use my wife's case against Santorum when he would have voted the same way," Schiavo said

Yoohoo, Jodi! Michael's gone back to Terri.

[MaineVoter2002]

I wonder who Mike Tyson supports

[TAdams8591]

"Schiavo made the announcement at a campaign stop for two pro-abortion Congressional candidates he said his political action committee has endorsed."

Geez, and I thought it was the Schindlers who were exploiting their daughter for attention, politics and money. /sarcasm

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Cue the "wocka-wocka" guitar music...

[RichInOC]

"It's all about meeeeeeeeeee..."

Go away mad if you have to, Mikey, but for the love of God, please go away.

[edpc]

Sleepy Head by Buddy Love fits the bill......

[pandoraou812]

I would think he would have the decency to shut up and go away. Oh I forgot there is nothing decent about him whatsoever.

[Jaded]

Beyond it being pathetic that he still gets face time, who cares what Michael Schiavo thinks. He's not even qualified to be a decent husband.

[linda_22003]

Why? Is that the date you have in the office pool?

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Remember how the libs were all so concerned over the possible pain and suffering of criminals executed by injection?
The same hypocrites don't care over the pain of the fetus (and have suppressed evidence of it) and over Terri's pain.

[wagglebee]

In case you missed the new, Terri died feeling "euphoric" and had never looked so "beautiful." I wonder why we don't simply deprive death row inmates of food and water, that way they can have the same experience.

[trisham]

Who cares what this creep says? I'm shocked that anyone would associate with him.
