I also thought I’d never say this, but . . .
GO RALPH NADER!
Excerpts:
The courts not only are refusing her tube feeding, but have ordered
that no attempts be made to provide her water or food by mouth. Terri
swallows her own saliva. Spoon feeding is not medical treatment. "This
outrageous order proves that the courts are not merely permitting
medical treatment to be withheld, it has ordered her to be made dead,"
Nader and Smith assert.

Wow! I wouldn’t have expected to hear that from him, but it’s most welcome.
GO Ralph Nader! (straight to confession)
Wow. Ralph Nader. Who woulda thunk it? I guess even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
No food, no medicine allowed, but…
“Vaseline has been administered to prevent skin problems, according to the lawyer and family members yesterday.”
What a horrible time in history.

Can’t help but notice the slimeball media is mostly ignoring this. I believe there are quite a few importantleftists who are on Terri’s side who are mostly being blacked out by the pro-death media.
I was surprised to see Kent Conrad coming out on Terri’s side. I lived in North Dakota for a couple of years, and from what I recall, he was a key player in blocking a partial-birth abortion ban.
Wow…I suppose even a stopped clock is right twice a day…
Wow! When was the last time Thomas Sowell and Ann Coulter were in agreement with Ralph Nader? If Florida judges are too liberal for Nader, that’s really saying a LOT!
I, too, support Ralph Nader’s comments. I’m a liberal who grew up believing everyone is created equal – this includes vulnerable disabled adults. Terri wasn’t treated equally, and I’m proud someone as liberal as Ralph Nader stood up and defended her right to live. He’s one of the few. I’m shocked by the others who didn’t.
