I said this before, but I think it bears repeating.
I never thought that, in America, an innocent woman could be sentenced to die by starvation, on hearsay evidence… and that the other two branches of government combined, each supposedly equal to the judicial branch, could be so utterly powerless to change that. That’s what it’s all about, not whether she has the “quality of life” someone else would want her to have. She’s not dying naturally, she’s not being kept alive by machines, and the only person who claims she wanted to starve to death has ulterior motives up the wazoo. This whole thing stinks so badly I need a face mask to read the news.
There are a number of people in the Tallahassee capitol loop saying that Florida state senator paula dockery was “shopping” her vote on the Schiavo bill, last week, in exchange for support on her legailization of cheap, mail-order, wine, from outside of Florida bill.
There seems to be a disturbing possibility that paula thinks every vote is for sale, to get what she wants.
Thsi is the same senator that was said to have promised John Ostekevitch, a fomer representative, that she would raise 200k for his! campaign to capture an expected open State Senate seat, in exchange for his vote on her husband’s rapid rail dream. The problem was, the former rep is a strong supporter of a psychaiatrist that wrote in European magazines of his support for the sexual molestation of children and tried to have this same psychiatrist testify as an expert for the DEPT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES.
If the rumors of paula’s integrity (and Terri Schiavo’s life) are for sale, it casts an ugly pallor over this whole sad episode.
John, if all you said is true – I agree, it does cast an ugly pallor over all this … sigh.
