Defying all odds Terri is still alive.
Are you being targeted for euthanasia? (Schiavo case only the tip of the iceberg!)
Schiavo parents plan new US Supreme Court appeal
Florida lawmaker says he will consider impeaching Schiavo Judge Greer
LOL!!
I didn't get a reply at all!!
must not have been NICE enough...
When my father died two years ago they bathed him and shaved him before he was taken to the funeral home. He died in the hospital but under the care of hospice. The nurses made it sound like it was a routine procedure upon death.
With that said, the other stuff I've heard does not sound normal. Felos gives me the creeps.
AMEN and AMEN!!!!
wow! I must be a bigger nerd than I thought....
spending my Friday not here, so slow tonight.... I guess everyone else had just gotten on with their lives...
HORRIBLE people the Schiavos are.
We have to insist upon a Congressional Investigation.

MORE PROOF HOW THE MEDIA IS JUST A BIG FAT LIE!!!
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Polls leading up to the death of Terri Schiavo made it appear Americans had formed a consensus in favor of ending her life. However, a new Zogby poll with fairer questions shows the nation clearly supporting Terri and her parents and wanting to protect the lives of other disabled patients.
The Zogby poll found that, if a person becomes incapacitated and has not expressed their preference for medical treatment, as in Terri's case, 43 percent say "the law presume that the person wants to live, even if the person is receiving food and water through a tube" while just 30 percent disagree.
Another Zogby question his directly on Terri's circumstances.
"If a disabled person is not terminally ill, not in a coma, and not being kept alive on life support, and they have no written directive, should or should they not be denied food and water," the poll asked.
A whopping 79 percent said the patient should not have food and water taken away while just 9 percent said yes.
"From the very start of this debate, Americans have sat on one of two sides," Concerned Women for America's Lanier Swann said in response to the poll. One side "believes Terri's life has worth and purpose, and the side who saw Michael Schiavo's actions as merciful, and appropriate."
More than three-fourths of Americans agreed, Swann said, "because a person is disabled, that patient should never be denied food and water."
The poll also lent support to members of Congress to who passed legislation seeking to prevent Terri's starvation death and help her parents take their lawsuit to federal courts.
"When there is conflicting evidence on whether or not a patient would want to be on a feeding tube, should elected officials order that a feeding tube be removed or should they order that it remain in place," respondents were asked.
Some 18 percent said the feeding tube should be removed and 42 percent said it should remain in place.
Swann said her group would encourage Congress to adopt legislation that would federal courts to review cases when the medical treatment desire of individuals is not known and the patient's family has a dispute over the care.
"According to these poll results, many Americans do in fact agree with what we're trying to accomplish," she said.
The poll found that 49 percent of Americans believe there should be exceptions to the right of a spouse to act as a guardian for an incapacitated spouse. Only 39 percent disagreed.
When asked directly about Terri's case and told the her estranged husband Michael "has had a girlfriend for 10 years and has two children with her" 56 percent of Americans believed guardianship should have been turned over to Terri's parents while 37 percent disagreed.
yes we do, let's hope Tom Delay doesn't wimp out
It is a fear of mine as well.
This is GOOD news. And good news for an investigation as well.
I never cuss, but can I just say...
HELL YEAH!
I am SICK about the way the MSM handled this... as far as I am concerned they have blood on their hands as well....
They were indeed accomplices.
See now, I knew that as soon as the Zogby poll would come out today that it would make all the other tidly widly polls out there look like crap!
EXACTLY!
UNbelievable!
I need to know...your post number #1925, is that our Terri in death? Is this a photo of our Terri after death? It looks so ... so............I don't have words. I don't.
That's what I've been saying.
No hospice for me! I'd rather die at home.
Thanks for posting. I missed this poll earlier.
At least we know we are the majority now.
ANother Great article!

wow, THIS is a SWITCH!!!! comes a bit too late!!!! I believe if the whole truth ever gets out to the public , there will be outrage that they were lied to by the MSM!!
I knew the Zogby poll would be more accurate. The polls taken from the MSM were not asked appropriate questions and people who got to places on the internet like MSNBC, ABC, etc.. to take polls it always comes up biased.
Now that Zogby is out it is going to make the MSM look like a bunch of idiots!
