STOP!! Jeb did as much for Terry Schiavo as was humanly possible!! What did you wwant him to do, defy a judge and cause a constitutional crisis??? Jeb doesn’t have any blood on his hands but Michael and the judge have BUCKETS of BLOOD on theirs!!

First of all, get off of your Bush-worshiping podium and listen to some facts:

Let's start with the Constitution of the State of Florida:

"All natural persons, female and male alike, are equal before the law and have inalienable rights, among which are the right to enjoy and defend life and liberty, to pursue happiness...No person shall be deprived of any right because of race, religion, national origin, or physical disability."

The fact that a second rate probate judge (George W. Greer) made rulings that were used to kill Terri Schiavo does NOT negate the State Constitution, which Jeb Bush took an Oath to uphold. He did not do so. He chose to hide behind the CIVIL case and did NOT push the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to pursue a CRIMINAL investigation of the circumstances surrounding Terri Schiavo's condition, because there has NEVER been a criminal investigation into the whole sordid affair in Pinellas County Florida.

Governor Jeb Bush (and every Florida governor) was the Chief Law Enforcement Officer for the entire State. It was upon HIS shoulders that the fate of Terri Schiavo rested, and he could at any time, have directed the Florida Highway Patrol, the Florida National Guard, to surround that 'nursing home' and take Terri Schaivo into protective custody. A team of former federal prosecutors with the Thomas More Law Center provided then-Governor Bush with a legal opinion that he could take action, and in the months leading up to Terri's murder, he could as I have already stated, have directed the FDLE to begin a criminal investigation, and such an investigation would have mandated that Terri's life be preserved, as she would certainly be considered 'state's evidence' in such an action.

You prattle away about "did I want him to defy a judge and cause a constitutional crisis?" and I say HELL YES, why are you more concerned about defying a little pipsqueak runt of a judge in some Florida backwater, and the public image of former Governor Jeb Bush, instead of the life of Terri Schiavo?

When a human life is at stake, when the most defenseless of society are depending upon the highest elected official in the State, judges and local podunk sheriff's be damned, I'll tell you what I would have done had my name been Jeb Bush, I would have mobilized a phalanx of FDLE vehicles, backed up by every Florida Highway Patrol Trooper available, and I would have personally led that force to Pinellas Park, ordered any and every local law enforcement officer to stand aside, and stand down (at the point of a gun if necessary), and I would have ordered that Terri Schiavo be taken into protective custody and removed to a hospital facility under armed guard.

THAT is what a Governor with a spine does, he takes the risk, he takes personal responsibility for a helpless woman being slowly murdered by her venomous snake of an ex-husband and the judicial fiat of a stinking, corrupt judge, and let the chips fall where they may.

So don't hand me or anybody else this crap about "Jeb Bush did everything he could", the only thing Jeb Bush did was to take the coward's way out, he did whatever was necessary to cover his own fat ass, and just like Michael Schiavo and 'Judge' George W. Greer, Jeb also has Terri's blood on his hands, and that stain is NOT going to wash out, not now, not ever.

THOSE are the facts of the matter, deal with it.
