On an ironic note, alleged "Governor" Gregoire "urged graduates to commit to spending time working in their communities and to play an active role in the changes that they would like to see in government and society."
I thought the message would be an attention grabber and I could entice my liberal friends to come take a drink... just in time for me to slam the toilet seat down on their heads.
Unfortunately, many conservatives have read this today and thought I was seriously calling for DeLay to quit.... to them I have but one thing to say.....
You're missing the point. If he is right and she said "no tubes for me" then he's been working against his wife's wishes for all these years and that's pathetic....especially now that he's claiming moral superiority in "keeping his promise to carry out her wishes"...
"It's called trying everything first, and when NOTHING has worked, then let her go as per her wish" So it's okay to act against HER WISHES if you're "trying everything you can"??? Isn't that what her parents are doing? Trying everything they can? Shouldn't THEY be commended?
My question is... did she say "NO TUBES FOR ME" or not?
if she did, then her husband is guilty of acting contrary to her personal wishes... so he's not really in a position to be arguing that the parents should butt out and let him "carry out her wishes", since he conveniently didn't give a shit about those wishes for almost a decade.
You don't find it suspicious that he immediately shunned the parents shortly after the settlement was complete? You don't find it suspicious that he's been with two women since his wife began her ordeal? You don't find it suspicious that he's claiming her wish was for "no tubes", yet he "aggressively kept her alive" in the early years while the malpractice trials were going and promptly stopped when they were done?
Do you really think this is about "her wishes" at all?
So... despite the fact that this case is hinging on his allegation that letting her die now is pursuant to her wishes of "no tubes for me".... he is okay to violate her personal right to die for 8+ years?
