The autopsy is in on Terri Schiavo and it shows that she was indeed in a permanent vegetative state and that she had half a brain and was blind. The autopsy showed that she was not strangled and not otherwise abused. This is something that most Americans could see for themselves and angered that Terri Schiavo was being used by Tom DeLay, Bush and Bill Frist. Bush flew all the way back to Washington D.C. just to sign "Terri's bill." Hey, I have an idea Mr. President. Why don't you answer our questions about the Downing Street Memo?? I know why you won't because you DID lie and we have PROOF. They wouldn't let Terri Schiavo (who had half a brain and was blind) die but they will send our young men and women over to Iraq to die over and over and over again.
"Doctor" Bill Frist (who is a HEART SURGEON) stood on the Senate floor and LIED that he KNEW about her condition based only on VIDEO TAPE!!! She and her family were being used to pack courts with radical, hard-core neo-conservative judges and that is exactly what they have done. They could have used her situation to bring attention to the hope and power of stem cells which is the only thing that has shown to have any evidence to help people in her situation. Ironically, however, these people are against stem cell research!! The media whores are just as bad as these wacko conservative politicians. They lied and lied and lied about the situation of Terri Schiavo and played on people's fears and passions about life and death. These people like Sean Hannity, Joe Scarborough, Bill O'Reilly, etc. can not seem to know the difference between right and wrong. The politicians need to be stopped in their madness because they can not stop. They can not help themselves with absolute power and will do anything to keep it. Case in point, using Terri Schiavo.
Speaking on issues of "God" go to my Buddhist blog and read a great article on the "Great Creator."
I am SO pissed off.
I'm out.

Agreed. She was a political pawn to them and nothing more.
In speaking about the Downing street memo, refer not only to the lies, but to his POOR PLANNING and DISREGARD for the aftermath of invading BAGDAD and the EMINENT INCREASED DANGER this has subjected our soldiers to. We all know that Bush lies, it is nothing new and the DSM only shows consistency, we need to attack this on a personal and emotional level. Support in Iraq is down, and that's the focus of where Downing Street should have its impact.
Great blog

The Schiavo case was remarkable not only for the lack of scruples shown on all sides, but also by the consistent obfuscation, in which the media were totally complicit. People spoke a lot about human dignity. Terri Schiavo died ultimately because of the severity of her eating disorders. It is hard to imagine her idea of a dignified death would have been as a pawn in an attempt by the executive to launch a coup of judicial power.
What saddens and sickens me about the religious right is that they are yet to realise that repect for the sanctity of life can carry little weight unless it is balanced by equal respect for the sanctity of death.
jessica: Exactly. His pour planning has cost countless Iraqi lives and billions of our tax dollars. Thanks for reading
jim:Yes, sanctity of death is just as important if not more so. We all deserve a smooth and respectful death if possible.
