Tom Delay is the biggest hippocrit of all

You know seeing Tom Delay (R-TEXAS) getting involved in this makes me want to throw up!

Texas law allows hospitals to disconnect individuals from life support means AGAINST the wishes of the family, if the drs believe such is futile.

Case in point

Baby on Life Support

WHY wasn't he there supporting the "parent" in keeping this baby alive?

What about this case?

Wife wants husband saved

She just wants time to MOVE him to a place so the hospital won't cut off his life support and they won't let her!

WHERE is congress to meddle with these families' wishes? Why aren't they there jumping in the fray? It is DeLay's state for pity sake!!!!!

And what about the "sanctity" of marriage....? "One man, one woman" is the ideal marriage for conservatives....not "one man, one woman AND her parents"

This case just amazes me to the amount of spinning that is going on. Micheal Schiavo obviously is doing his best to keep his promise to a woman HE LOVES. A promise made between two people.

I hope the country learns a lesson...LIVING WILLS, put it in writing...shout your desires on the roof top so everyone knows.
