1. Well CBS reported tonight that a woman died from lack of water

today on the interstate overpass in front of the SD. Maybe they would have helped her (and all of them) if they had feeding tubes already?

Why aren't they airlifting water and food into those people?

7. This administration help brown people?

Everyone knows they are poor. What good are people if they don't have lots of money? :sarcasm:

This administration needs to be hammered on the de-funding of the levee repairs so as to better fund the killing in Iraq to steal their oil. What are they up to in the number of excuses for why we invaded Iraq now, 10? None of them based on reality.

How anyone can defend neocon criminals is beyond me.

11. I'm ready ...

...

I'm now ready to sport an "Impeach Bush" bumper sticker. The case is VERY easy to make that Bush's short-sighted cruel ineptitute has lead to the deaths of THOUSANDS of Americans. It's not abstract anymore. Bush cares NOTHING about ordinary Americans.

2. Perhaps if we tell them there may be fetuses as risk

if their mothers don't get food and water they'll act.

3. Abso-friggin-lutely.

If Terri Schiavo was hooked into a hospital in NO right now and was in danger of having her life support terminated from lack of electricity, the damn freepers would be down there themselves with pickaxes to break her out.

4. Maybe the people in the superdome...

could start holding some gay marriage ceremonies. That'd get their attention.

9. The Schiavo action timeline (wasn't it an Easter holiday?):

Edited on Wed Aug-31-05 09:46 PM by cyberpj

It doesn't get much better than the president rushing home from his beloved ranch to sign emergency, life-or-death legislation passed by Congress in the middle of the night.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A54002-2005Mar21.html

�Compromise Bill� Re: Terri Schiavo Signed Into Law
The �compromise bill� shown below was
introduced on Saturday, March 19, 2005,
passed by the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives on Sunday, March 20, 2005,
and signed into law by President Bush early Monday morning on March 21, 2005.

10. Surely somewhere in New Orleans ...

... there must have been some braindead patient being kept alive by senseless theocratic motivated legislation. Surely Bush could have dispatched help in order to save this already spent individual and thus save thousands more.

12. I'm sure there was someone much like Shiavo in one of the hospitals

or even at home...and when the power went, they did too.
