1. I wish tom delay would go and fuck himself. Useless POS.

These politicians are so priority challenged it's pathetic. What are they gonna do??? Are they gonna declare that no one in a vegetative state can be allowed to have their wishes followed through??? Using poor Terri for political grandstanding is beyond morality.

2. If they really wanted to do something about these people
Edited on Sat Mar-19-05 02:45 PM by Coastie for Truth
1. Remove the Bush Rapture Rep ban on stem cell research.
2. Single payer health insurance.
3. Put a medical expenses escape clause into the Bankruptcy Bill.

Search "Woolhandler" and "Warren & Bankruptcy" on http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi


Anything else is bull.

6. BINGO
Can't help but think this sad case being used by neocon crooks for 2 reasons:
1. Divert attention from the problems facing millions of people while Congress robs from the treasury & the future generations

2. Setting precedent for forced medical consumption which will bankrupt more families while enriching mortgage holders.

8. Also enriching
medical school graduates who rip off insurance companies, Medicare, Medicaid, and patients throough their stock-holder owned, for mega profit hospitals -- like Mister Frist and HCA.

7. Anybody concerned about what they REALLY might be up to?
I do not trust this is just about what is left of a woman in Florida.

9. Delay and Frist should experience this firsthand, but I
wouldn't wish it on anyone.

In 2001 my brother survived a car accident but was paralyzed from the neck down. He was in intensive care for 9 months and he died. We all suffered. I wish he could have gone in peace a lot sooner. Make sure you have a living will and a medical directive and your dr. knows your wishes and will abide by them.

Anyone who hasn't lived this nightmare has no business interfering.
