Jeb Bush, Terri Schiavo and pure evil

You may know about this, but those of us who live in Florida will never forget it.

Terri Schiavo was a brain-dead woman in a coma. There was no chance of revival. Her husband wanted to pull the plug. Christian fanatics protested it and JEB! sided with the crazies.

Making a decision like this is a heart breaking matter that should only be made by a loved one. Yet, fanatical crazies, joined by JEB!, decided they knew better.

And JEB! was involved for personal political motives that had nothing to do with life, Christianity, empathy, or just plain human decency. This makes JEB! a king-sized prick. Prolonging this poor woman's life, and the misery of her family, was an act of pure evil. JEB! should be shunned by any decent human being.

Below is one Google link, but you can Google this topic for yourself.

I remember how they had Sheriff Deputies guarding the facility for weeks on end. We moving our daughter to Florida when that happened. One of the places she was looking at to live was near the location where they were caring for Schiavo and noting all the craziness with the law and protesters/prayers.

(In case anyone forgets where that photo was taken, it was at the protests outside the hospice.)

his dim bulb brother coming from his VACATION in Waco to sign the bill that tried to prevent removing the feeding tube from Terri Schaivo. Note that Bush didn't end his vacation when New Orleans was being sucked out to sea.

JEB! and his brother are a pox that really need to go away from sane society.

Most of us don't believe in taking advantage of others. The Bush's were born learning to "Take," and they, and their GOP Party, accuse us of being "Takers."

The Bush's, and every other elected Republican are there to screw us. Anyone who doesn't understand that is a victim.

No sane person should ever vote for a Republican. That said, it is imperitive to get out and vote for Democrats at every level.

(And, yes, many Dems are pricks. But consider the alternative.)

playing with balloons. Her mother was holding her up and making believe she was capable of participating in this charade. It was truly sickening.
