Someone knock me in the head for getting caught up in Schaivo case!

Now is not the time. I am serious! Kick the shit out of me!!!!

William Pitt and others are exactly RIGHT! We have to focus on War Protests!!!!

I have posted dozens of posts on the Schaivo thing and it's simply not that important. I would urge everyone to forget about Schaivo and move full throttle toward the Iraq War Mess!


On a scale of importance from 1 to 100 the Schaivo case is like a 10 and the Iraq War is a 100.

You are so right. Someone shake me 'til my teeth rattle over this.

but we can try.

for propaganda, infotainment and advertising.

That's the first step.

They're already complaining that they're losing market share.

Let them lose a whole lot more of it.

I'm getting kind of sick of hearing about it.

I'm not sorry for my participation in the subject.

for getting caught up in this. It is an important issue concerning individual rights, abuse of power and most importantly, common sense. The fundie right wingers get nuttier by the day. Tom DeLay needs to be worrying about his ethics and the criminal charges he will be facing soon instead of trying to divert our attention. We need to keep pounding the fact that concern for Terri Schiavo MUST mean the right wing is also concerned for the quality of life of our soldiers in Iraq and our veterans.

There are just too many ways to point out the hypocrisy of the right with this issue. Today, the entire country is seeing that hypocrisy on CNN and Faux and every other news outlet blasting this story instead of far more important ones.

So apologies to Terri and her family, but I say we milk this one for all it's worth.

You know, not allowing the state to violate my civil rights and force medical procedures on me while pursueing a backdoor to ban abortion. I can also focus on more than one issue a day.

Call me crazy...

about the war protests. The Schaivo thing will drag on for a week or two but this weekend is the anniversary of the beginning of the war and that will be over after Monday.

to something that could affect us all.
You could swing it around and say the nut jobs in DC
are using the protests to get away with restricting more of our rights.

Prosit!!! :toast:

I will be next!. ;>) Since I've broken my own law, i.e. MYOB, mind your own business, and think everyone ought to follow the ASIATO Rule,
Avoid stepping in and taking over, Ive been one sorry camper. I'll be back to being a happy camper just as soon as I hear we are out of Iraq and the Pissdent's Soc. Sec. plan is shot down. I won't hold my breath, though.

It is important. It's actually part of the Republican plan to allow the decisions of legal guardians to be overruled. I keep saying, they just did it in Texas and nobody said a word.

If they do it to Michael Schiavo, they can do it to everybody and that's exactly what they want. Not to mention further precedence to remove the medical right to women seeking an abortion. This is about the right for the individual to continue to have control over their medical care and the very right to medical care.

It is as important as the war protests, if we were all on the same page in what the fight's about.

This should scare the shit out of us all whether we are conservatives or liberals.

and, I think, of importance to the continuation of our system as we've known it.

They are are going to split their fundie base if they persist. Many have faced the agonizing decision of what to do in similar cases, including the feeding tube issue. Delay and Frist have overplayed their hand. We should not cower in the corner. Common sense and common decency demand that we take on the political and media scum responsible for this circus. They have thrown us a high hanging curve ball. Don't let the previous high inside bean balls drive us out of the box.

The Terri Shiavo case matters to all Americans. Because ultimately, this is about the right of all Americans to make their own decisions about their health.

If the right-wing bastards in Congress want to defy the wishes of a woman in a vegitative state, what's to stop them from allowing all Americans to decide what goes on in their body?

For example, let's say you were diagnosed with cancer. And you decided to forgo chemotherapy. You say you want to live out your remaining days in peace, not puking all over the peace from chemo. You have the right to make that decision. No one in Congress has the right to force you to take chemotherapy.

That's why this matters so much!

and it is a worthy discussion here at DU. There are plenty of other topcs and other forums here to discuss other things. I completely agree with you.

Give Me A Fucking Break.
