Did anyone happen to notice that none of the politicians ever mention that TERRI IS DEAD? I believe they want people to think that the Bushes saved Terri and that she's alive and being cared for.
I don't know how to blend this in exactly, but I think it is the evolution of abortion. Pre born babies are not humans, just a "nonviable tissue mass". That makes it easy to kill them. Terri was not human, she was "brain dead". That makes it easy to kill them without the public being to concerned. That is the purpose of lies. The media got caught up supporting abortion. It would be an admittance of quilt if they did not continue their support to kill other innocent people.
Boy, this is depressing to think about.
That was one of the weaknesses in their "compassion" pitch -- they tortured the patient to death.
