What? Pro-life? (sounds of sputtering.....)

I am obliged but to excerpt from TheAtlantic.com blog, yet it affords us another view should we dare look at the Ridge in between.

Now I am battling image-wise with the use of Crist and skirt in the same sentence.

ANALYSIS: Citing Crist's reluctance to intervene in the Terri Schiavo case, mainly, Brody's unnamed respondents skirt over another real reason why so many social conservatives think they have a problem with Crist. It's that they believe the gay rumors -- rumors that Crist publicly acknowledged and publicly denied, apparently to the satisfaction of real voters, during the 2006 election campaign. (Ooh, but he's soft-spoken and supports civil unions... well, so is -- and does -- President Bush.) Crist's office doesn't like when reporters bring up the gay rumors, and that's understandable; they were, after all, litigated in the past. But reality is reality -- many alpha dog social conservatives don't trust Crist because they don't believe him...........

Worry About McCain-Ridge, Not McCain-Crist

Today is indeed one for gag notices. We watch "Justice" growing into its own oxymoron.

EDMOND — In a recent biography of Federal District Judge Lee West, the jurist is quoted as citing with approval, Fyodor Dostoevsky’s observation that a conversation with a clever man always is worthwhile.

~Snip~

But West also spoke about several instances in recent years that constituted attacks on the independence of the judiciary in this country.

He detailed the political posturing that occurred over the sad case of Terri Schiavo in which the U.S. Congress and the Bush White House sought to negate a ruling by a state court in Florida that allowed Schiavo’s husband to have her feeding tube removed because she had been comatose for more than eight years and that he believed she would not have wished to be kept alive in that state.

Schiavo’s parents had contested their son-in-law’s request in the Florida state court, but their objections had been overruled.

The enactment of the U.S. Congress purported to nullify the state court decisions that had authorized her husband to have her feeding tubes removed.

West praised the federal court in Florida and the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals that refused to hear the case brought by Schiavo’s parents on the grounds that it was an issue that was within the jurisdiction of the state courts of Florida that already had ruled on the matter..........

U.S. justice system the best yet devised by man

When Crist was FL AG, had Terri been a man, he would have put his civil rights dept right on it. He hates women unless he needs one on his arm to legimitize him as a real man. A real man would have protected Terri.
