Michael Schiavo's Lawyer Is On Fire

He's smokin! He was discussing the 'odious" attempts to "walk over the dying body of Terry Schiavo's for their political gain", by members of the house and senate. And he said that if the dems, not even one of them, can't stand up for people they deserve to be the minority party and will stay the minority part.

n/t

:)

He's really something :)

He is amazing!

regarding Shiavo.

would not even be happening so how about railing AGAINST the people in power.

But his attitude is while he expected this from the thugs,he didn't expect it from the dems and it only needed one dem to stop it and no one did. He's calling out Kerry, Clinton, Leahy among others.

He BLISTERED our Dem senators, naming names------"Where was Senator CLINTON, Senator HARKEN, Senator LEAHY..." and a couple of others. Now naming KERY, CLINTON, FEINSTEIN...

He said that one senator who had stood up before was squelched in the Dem caucus to stop him from doing so again. FELOS said that this by the Dems was even WORSE than what the Repuke THUGS were doing.

He said that if the Dems don't stand up, they "DESERVE to be the minority party, and the DWINDLING minority party."

Senator (WYDEN?) is who stood up. Looking for correct name.

He has stood up time and again for us when we voted for doctor assisted suicide.

"Congratulations" to Oregon for having a stand-up senator. However, his official biography keeps repeating "reaching across the aisle". And, yes, I realize that some bipartisanship is needed.

UNITED STATES SENATOR RON WYDEN
Biographical Information


In serving Oregon in the United States Senate, Ron Wyden pursues creative, bipartisan solutions to tough issues, offers unprecedented accessibility to his constituents, and stands up for Oregonians no matter the odds.

Creative, Bipartisan Solutions

Ron Wyden constantly reaches across the aisle to build coalitions on important issues. He works closely with Oregon's junior Senator, Gordon Smith, on many issues and at the beginning of each Congress the two produce a bipartisan agenda for their state.

In the areas of health care, technology, natural resources and other areas, Ron Wyden has produced important results.

Since his days as co-director of the Oregon Gray Panthers, Ron Wyden has been a respected voice on health care. He authored the first law to protect seniors from unscrupulous Medicare insurance scams and exposed the tobacco companies for hiding the addictiveness of nicotine. His bipartisan legislation reformed the community health center law to make vital health services available to thousands of poor families at no additional cost to taxpayers, and increased Medicare reimbursement to states like Oregon, which the federal government has shortchanged for keeping their health costs down. To help women fighting cancer, Wyden exposed and eliminated waste in the case of the Pacific yew, a so-called "trash tree" that became the original source of the breakthrough pharmaceutical Taxol. ....

that's for sure. Only a Republican would even THINK to bring such an issue to the floor of the Senate when they know damn well it doesn't belong there.

Not because he opposed euthanasia , but to insure that this would not be a basis to change the law in Oregon.

Levin said that he opposed the bill too. They were the only ones.

the dumbass GOP appropriate the Senate for a RW cause that had no business on the floor of the Senate when it had already been dealt with by the courts.

Dragging this on in a Senate battle is going to help NO ONE. There's already way WAAYYY too much media attention on this mess. Pure distraction.

I've asked around a couple of times for names of what Dem in Congress was taking the lead on this and haven't heard a name until today.

being part iof the Senate debate and the GOP demagoguing and using a braindead woman's last days to appease their base is no reason to dignify their antics with a debate.

I say let the GOP show themselves as the demagogues they are to the American people. The people didn't like the spectacle of Elian and they'll like this even less. NONE of them want to live like Terry Schiavo...NONE.

Let the world see what jackasses they are. Maybe that's why none of them stud up. Only thing I know of. I wouldn't have either. It's a bunch of nonsense.

He has been so articulate and damning in the conduct of the US Congress. He said that they are doing this for their own political gain. And that it should send chills to everyone listening that they could do this to you. He is sure waving the Red Flags for all of us.

Since it is the truth and the freepers ate it up.

To Senator Reid, Senator Durbin, and the Senate Democratic caucus to resist any attempt by the Republicans to pass legislation.

Said the Dems did a secret deal in the cloakroom.

Wooooo!

He said they deserve to be the minority party.

knee jerk situation they can demagogue. The Dems should hold the GOP up for ridicule for misappropriating the floor of the Senate to promote a RW cause that has already been dealt with by the courts.

Let the American people see how the GOP misuses its power. This is similar to the Elian thing where the GOP was way out of step with the American people.

This horrible situation is a no-win for every person involved--and by "involved" I mean family, doctors, etc. ONLY. I can't approve of anyone using it for political grandstanding, on EITHER side. This should never have been brought before the Senate in the first place. So no, I won't be writing any angry letters to my senators or anyone else's over it.

The lawyer's welcome to yell at whoever he likes, but no amount of yelling from anyone is going to make things any better.

who are acting like this on their own.

Damn media knows the politicization is disgusting, but they won't say it's just the Republicans who are doing it. They hide behind the word "Congress" so as not to offend their GOP masters.

Fockers.

Right now with Leslie

.

He's calmed down some but his points are the same but he sure is giving it to the dems as he expected them to do the same. I wonder if he is a Duer? On the other hand, her parent's lawyer insists she is viable and is hinting Michael S. may have tried to murder her.

He's calmed down some but his points are the same, he sure is giving it to the dems as he expected them to do better than the repugs. I wonder if he is a Duer? On the other hand, her parent's lawyer insists she is viable and is hinting Michael S. may have tried to murder her.

but was trying to edit. Boy those people on her parents side sure are trying to make a case against the husband. Their lawyer is hinting that the husband tried to deprive her of oxygen and that's why she is as she is today. And that idiot Dan Burton was saying she just needed rehab and she would be able to eat by herself, until Tweety called him on it.

They got some splaini' to do!!

Let the GOP make a spectacle of themselves.

They're not winning on anything else except a few little bills here and there. Their polling numbers must be low so they pull out the Schiveo thing and steroids to get people in. :eyes: I'm so disgusted and I'm glad our democratic senators and congressmen aren't getting in on it. I think it's pathetic.

What happened? The Senate wasn't in session today, was it?

Right in the middle of the vote for the budget amendment.

:wtf:

if that was all they were doing, fine. but they are making a situation where a feeding tube has to be restitched into a sick woman's stomach for the third time. She's in agony and they are playing with her for political gain. And we are letting them. One voice would have ended this but we're making deals. NO ONE is concerned about this woman. If you've never seen what a feeding tube means to a person, then you can't know. Let her go. Someone stand up and demand decency from someone. We ARE better than this. Felo is right. Damn everyone on both sides of this.

But the sapinae was issued in comittee, not by the full congress, which actually makes it illegal.
