Greer is a GOP puppet for sale. He’s one reason I became an indy. With the big guns protecting him instead of Terri, someday the truth will come out. Meanwhile, Terri is in the news every day.
Oh, and Nancy Grant is a born again Christian. As this country is taken over by secular progressives, there will be more false prosecutions of Christians; and why not start in Florida where you can be murdered cuz you’re disabled?

No wonder the media isn't reporting her false prosecution. The media is controlled by the family.

Terri Schiavo has been dead for 2 1/2 years. Her parents and siblings now have an answer on an important question: Was her death natural and moral, or not?
The Vatican's answer: Not, on both counts.
No doubt you remember the Schiavo case. The Florida woman collapsed and went into a coma in 1990 and was later diagnosed as being in a permanent vegetative state. Her husband, Michael, won a malpractice settlement, used at first for her care at a nursing home, then later sought to have her nutrition and hydration tubes disconnected because, he said, she told him she wouldn't want to live that way.
Terri's parents, Robert and Mary Schindler, fought this in the courts for seven years but ultimately lost. The Florida Legislature and even the U.S. Congress would eventually get involved, but the tubes were disconnected, and Terri died in March 2005.
About four months after her death, U.S. Catholic bishops asked two questions of the Vatican. Last week, the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith issued a response............

Ouch, he must have been bombarded by Terri's supporters after what he's said in the past.
So, this flip flop is one that I welcome.

BACK TO JOHN ELLIS BUSH: Jeb succeeded as a politician but failed as a leader. (that's the bottom line and you can take that to the bank.) FV
However, his frantic support of amnesty and perks for illegal aliens makes him unacceptable to me.
No surprise, the lefties won't let the Terri gaffe pass. Today it dominates the Terri news. How long has it been now? Note the post by Floriduh voter above, #728. Sounds like Mike Huckabee sees the relevance and import and recognizes it, joins his stalwart colleagues now in support. We conservatives do not have our consciences twinged by the murder of Terri so we may not appreciate how the lefties writhe.
It is they, not we who are Terri-fied. They will not let go easily.
Is Thompson’s hilarious presidential campaign for real? (Asked about the Jena Six, Thompson said, “I don’t know anything about that,” and, in Florida, said he had no opinion on the Terri Schiavo case.) Or is it on a par with Kramer’s invention of a garbage disposal for the shower so you can pare vegetables while you soap your armpits? When Thompson told Jay Leno, “I’m running for president of the United States,” was he talking about the United States of Kramerica?
Thompson, dubbed “Lazy Like a Fox” on the cover of Newsweek, has shown a studied lack of focus - he’s a former shoe salesman, lobbyist, one-and-a-third-term senator, radio commentator and ambulance chaser. Thompson was a personal-injury lawyer who represented people like Kramer, who sued Java World after spilling coffee on himself.

Dick Morris complains that he is too lazy to prepare well-scripted answers to questions about local issues. In Florida, for example he deflected a question about the Terri Schiavo case saying he wasn't familiar with the details but in general he preferred local answers to local questions. To a question about oil drilling in the Everglades he said that he wasn't aware of major oil resources there but that we couldn't be in the business of putting energy resources off limits.
Each of these answers was perfectly reasonable and part of a package that is likely to have broad appeal. Neither shows a lazy candidate. They both show a mature and sensible candidate who isn't willing to pander. Thompson, unlike all the others, has important themes to project and can't be bothered to pick up a few supporters here and there by promising to serve the interests of those few at the expense of the many.

Thompson trips againFred Thompson didn't exactly assuage questions about his attention to detail when, during a trip to all-important Florida, he appeared at sea when asked to comment on the Terri Schiavo end-of-life case that so consumed first the state and then the nation in 2005. "That's going back in history," he said. "I don't remember the details of it."

Phone makes a nice marital prop What makes sense for Thompson right now is not to answer any more questions. That's why he needs a handy cellphone. Another candidate, Rudy Giuliani, has learned that a properly timed cellphone call in the middle of a speech can do wonders. Giuliani has taken a couple of calls during speeches, most recently in front of a lukewarm National Rifle Association group. The call allowed Giuliani to say "I love you" a couple times to his wife, or somebody playing his wife. It's a good crowd softener, even when it's Wife No. 3. And Thompson's only on No. 2. So it works even better for him. Recently, Thompson was asked if he would have intervened to keep Terri Schiavo alive. He sounded as if he were being asked to discuss the Stamp Act of 1765. "That's going back in history," he said of the Schiavo case. "I don't know the details of it." If one of his handlers had been in cellphone emergency mode, he might not have looked so tragically uninformed again about a national issue that dominated the news only two years ago. "That's going back in ... oh, excuse me, my phone. Oh, hi honey. Yes, I love you, too. ... Say hello to the nice people of Florida, dear."
Thompson ought to run on speed dial

The Republican field of aging white guys, meanwhile, gets flakier by the day. The front-runner has taken to cooing to his third wife over a cellphone in the middle of campaign speeches. His hottest challenger, the new "new Reagan," may have learned his lines for "Law & Order," but clearly needs cue cards on the stump. In Florida, even the most rudimentary details of red-hot local issues (drilling in the Everglades, Terri Schiavo) eluded him. The party's fund-raising is anemic. Its snubs of Hispanic and African-American voters kissed off essential swing states in the Sun Belt and moderate swing voters farther north.

In a wide-ranging interview, Eisenberg, one of the attorneys who represented Michael Schiavo several years ago in his battle with Congress and Florida Governor Jeb Bush to have his wife, Terri, removed from artificial life support, discussed the David vs. Goliath battle he has taken on and how it could lead to the unraveling of the Bush administration's warrantless spy program if the appeals court rules in favor of his clients.
