WHY???? WHY????

Why can't the general public just let Mrs. Schavio go? WHY????

I was infuriated last night,while preparing dinner I had the television on and I could hear some programming in the background, the show was something like Hollywood Extra or something like that. Anyway... they had a nurse on the program that was saying something to the effect of " dying by removal of the feeding tube is painful and inhumane" WTF??? I know that this is not a credible news source, but this is what people watch, this is what they see. LIES, LIES and MORE LIES.

I am so tired of all this crap surrounding this case... LET HER GO. Let her die with peace!

What in hell is wrong with people? This is NOT the only case where someone had a feeding tube removed!

One more time: LET HER GO!

1. It's the rw freaks and the media feeding frenzy

The schindler family's added to the drama.

Given the polls show the majority of americans agree with most of us DUers, I think they want it to be over.

2. The general public CAN let Ms. Schiavo go

It is the far right fringe nuts who cannot.

If it's the same nurse, she's a kook and a liar.

3. FWIW......This is not a R vs. L ISSUE.

IMHO, i think the tube should be replaced because the main person claiming she wouldnt want to live like this CLAIMED this 7 years after her pvs and to me his credibility comes into question when he has a family with another woman.

Apparently the Congresssional Black Caucus supports the tube being replaced as does Jesse Jackson AS DOES Tom harken....not exactly a bunch a bunch of rwers.

4. The courts have decided...all of them

The Schindler family encouraged him to date and he even took the girl to get their approval as if his personal life is anyone's business.

It's the rw nutjobs that are fronting the Schindler's money and paying for their lawyer.

And lastly, Michael, like any devoted husband believed in the years following her heart attack that she could still recover. He took her to California and she saw various doctors. She's been in more than one rehab facility.

It took that long for him to accept the reality of his wife's condition.

It doesn't matter what any of them or any of us think. This was a private family matter that Congress had no business sticking their nose in. I don't give a damn what party it is.

6. I understand....my point is ......

good people , like the CBC and Harken , can disagree without being some RWer.

JUST MY OPINION.

7. I can agree with that statement...

I know becaus ethere are many, right here on DU that don't agree with the removal of her tube. However, it should be known that a Dem in office would have NEVER taken it to congress... NEVER.
