Please let the vegetable die....

[Fast Twitch Fiber]

I'm tired of hearing about it. How can someone that ordered hundreds of thousands of bombs dropped and killed thousands of people talk about how "we must err on the side of life"? He sure didn't err on the side of life when it came to Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.

good point, those two situations are exactly the same.

Doesn't matter if they are completely different. The man constantly preaches about the preciousness of life and yet he shows little regard for it.

Yeah, in one case the people that dies were perfectly healthy before Bushs' orders. In the other case the person is a total vegetable that has literally lost half their brain.

I don't like vegetables. The wheelchair always hurts my teeth.

 

[chesty]

different situations, but in this case they should just let her body join her soul. I sure as hell wouldn't want to live like that.

 

[AAP]

Bush is fucking up and catering to the Christian Coliation just like his father. He is trying his best to turn this into a political stepping stone.
He is still going to lose and look like an idiot.

I wish that fucker would stop saying nucular. I get mad every time he says that.

My kid said 'new que ler' the other day, I almost flipped. I said "Listen, you don't want everyone to think you're as dumb as the president, how embarassing is that."

Thats an absurd and unsubstantiated statement.

Where has this reckelss disregard occured.

And if you are going to rbing up Iraq, then you had best be prepared to offer a viable alternative course of action that did not capitulate to further obstructionism and obfuscation


Yired if ridiculous nonsense from liberals whining about every course of action and yet never once offering a viable alternative.

Its sufficient to dislike the man Blue. No need to demonstrate the barely functional intellect of some of the others and parroit such nonsense

Yes, Ive ignored Blue in my time here till now. It was just his turn

Good observation

 

[AAP]

The man in question is Jeb Bush, who has nothing to do with Iraq, so it is completely irrelevant.

What is relevant is his continuing record of failures and losses. He just lost the slot vote last week after promising the Jesus Freaks he was going to win it and block slots here. Now he is going to lose this case too.

How did Bush Sr. capitulate to the Christian Coalition? He was pretty ambivalent about the Religious Right, and used to turn to his son for help understanding them because he wasn't a Born-Again himself.

What is Bush Jr. gonna lose? He's a lame duck already.

They should use her as a test crash dummy instead starving her... what a waste.

Really.... the fact that this has become national is ludicrous.

I just like Canadian bashing. I was hoping things would escalate. You let me down man. Bad monkey.

You want to argue, fine. Don't fucking patronize and denigrate me like you try with everyone else.

Alternative? How about leaving other countries you have no fucking business being in alone and taking your untold riches and putting it into alternative fuel solutions so that you're backbreaking dependence on ME oil was suddenly non-existent? How far along that particular path you think $200 billion being spent in Iraq could have taken you.

Don't tell me I don't offer viable alternatives, I do all the time. While you're at it, stop the blatant Liberal baiting and offer some more in the way of intelligent discourse rather than just dismissing all people that aren't Conservatives as guilty of suffering from a mental disease. What horseshit.

I've been reading a ton of stuff online, and it's not just Terri's parents that are saying she's been misdiagnosed. There are her nurses who say she is responsive, anddoctors who say she is brain damaged and not in a persistent vegetative state.
What nags at me is Michael Schiavo, who comes across as a Scott Peterson style sociopath. Is his insistance to see her terminated and cremated an effort to cover up an assault? I read the famous coroner Michael Baden's opinion on how she got into her present condition and it's chilling.
There is a taped statement from Michael Schivo's girlfriend that he was proud of the fact she was responsive to him, and later nurse testimony she would be agitated for hours after his visits. The girlfriend also claims that Michael admitted to her Terri never talked about termination of her life if she was ever in such a situation as she finds herself.

She's not on life support. She breathes on her own and her heart beats without assitance. Feeding tubes are not considered life support.

Her parents are clearly the ones that love her. Michael should divorce Terri, live happily ever after with his current girlfriend and their two children, and let those that care about her make the decisions.

Bullshit Blue

You denigrated yourself with that absurd comment about disregard for life.

By your sketchy logic I could fairly name you a pro Saddam/anti freedom sympathizer for not supporting action. Also all those who stood by and did nothing while the holocast occured were pro life while those who fought against them showed a blatant disregard for same.

Even your answer shows a glaring inability to grasp the most basic reasons for action in Iraq. Disagreeign with them is fine, but you cant even articulate them at all.

Instead more liberal nonsense abotu how if we only spent billions more on alternative energy some magic panacea will come along to solve all the worlds energy needs.

Brilliant plan maing.

Brought to you by the same political spectrum that argued we should deliver arrest warrants to terrorists in Afghanistan

Not absurd at all. Why is my opinion absurd that war for just about any reason (99% of the time) is wrong? Why is my opinion that war hawks are more interested in their agenda than human suffering absurd? Debate the point, don't disrespect me.

By your sketchy logic I could fairly name you a pro Saddam/anti freedom sympathizer for not supporting action. Also all those who stood by and did nothing while the holocast occured were pro life while those who fought against them showed a blatant disregard for same.

Yeah, I'm pro-Saddam because I think war is wrong. Good point. Way to ignore everything I've ever said on the subject.

Even your answer shows a glaring inability to grasp the most basic reasons for action in Iraq. Disagreeign with them is fine, but you cant even articulate them at all.

I know the reasons and I've pointed out their fallacies a million times, why do I need to keep doing it? Do you think childishly deriding me will suddenly transform me into the conservative sympathizer that will earn your respect? ppfftt

Instead more liberal nonsense abotu how if we only spent billions more on alternative energy some magic panacea will come along to solve all the worlds energy needs.

What magic panacea would that be? The technology is on the road already in part. Further advancements have already been or are being developed. Hundreds of billions would put us no further down that road? Continued resistance to something you don't understand demeans someone and it ain't me.

Brought to you by the same political spectrum that argued we should deliver arrest warrants to terrorists in Afghanistan

Care to link where I ever said that or intimated it? I've never once on this board had anything to say about the invasion of Afghanistan so you don't even know my position on it. Another nice job of pigeon-holing every Liberal in existence into a position you read on drudge that referred to some nutjobs.

I don't mind debating points or ideology but I despise people who cannot do so without attempting to categorize and belittle the opposing viewpoint. Show some respect and it will be returned.

You are absolutely right. When do you think its a good time to invade Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Syria?
