So I guess to the liberal media it will be ok to use a gun in a ‘mercy killing’. Cue eye roll.
The “mercy” is for himself. He had no right to take a life he did not give. She might have been at death’s door. She might have died within a few hours. But she might NOT have, as well. Her life was not his to take. The “mercy” was for himself.
Of course! I am just noting the media dance on a pin here and their hypocrisy between the lines.
Looks nothing like Romney.
Great tag line. Guns are just tools, the murderer is the weapon. In the case of Planned Parenthood, they are the murderers, the doctor is the tool.
This smells. He’s not old enough to be bewildered at the murder charge.
Something about that photo says he regarded his wife as an inconvenience to be eliminated. Those cold shark eyes IMO.
I am a widower. I held my wife’s hand in the ICU and watched as her life slipped away. I feel I may be qualified to comment.
Exactly. Same here.
