We should KEEP Teri Schiavo alive for 30 more years in her vegetable state
Edited on Sun Mar-20-05 06:49 PM by Melodybe
Seriously just let her rot in her bed for 30 more years, so the fundies can see how great it is. Hell, let them pay for it too.

With 1500 dead Americans in Iraq, and over 100,000 dead Iraqis including women and children people's perspectives are so fucking whacked out.


Edited to change let to KEEP.

1. But they're not "letting her live"
They're KEEPING HER ALIVE.

2. Poignant, and yet vitally important distinction.

3. The GOP can put her on display as their great accomplishment.

14. They can just spray a coat of shellac over her
Whenever she starts getting a little moldy.

7. Kind of like Lenin in Moscow - except she's metabolizing
(not living, just metabolizing).

This is so obscene -- and these "Pro Birthers" ban stem cell research because their bizzaro amalgam of "flat earthers" or "creationists" and "intelligent designers" have conflated "abortion" with "stem cell research."

6. Make it 50!
It can come out of Bill Frists stock options.

10. Better yet
let "MR" Frist and "MR" Tom Coburn and "MR" Walton (they all purport to be Medical School graduates) PERSONALLY provide 24 by 7 medical coverage -- without charge.

Hippocratic Oath (or is it Hypocrite Oath for those the) "Do No Harm"

Frist, Coburn, and Walton remind me of AFLAC and Disney Land -- quack, quack, quack.

9. why are the fundies so afraid of death....
Edited on Sun Mar-20-05 06:37 PM by Mend
when it is a blob of fetal cells or a vegetative person? Why is it okay if it is a sentient human or animal to kill, torture, maim?

11. Once her case is decided, she will disappear from the news casts
as if she no longer exists. Now if we put her in the capital building, that might work. Right under the rotunda. Remind everyone how concerned the repubs are for some of the living and none of the dead.

12. the 'it's really about Teri and not Bush's agenda' crowd has thinned out.
Edited on Sun Mar-20-05 06:42 PM by TrustingDog
I see.
Things settle out here to reality eventually. Glad to see it happening again now. Took too long tho.

13. Set her up in the rotunda with
electrodes attached to her legs and make her "dance." Then they can have her "dance" to pop Christian music and people can come and touch her feet and get annointed with her "holy sweat" (ticket price: $34--these are repukes, they've got to make money off of it). They can sell Terri keychains, videos, people can have their picture taken (for $14) next to the "Amazing Dancing Not Dead Not Alive Woman."

/sarcasm off

As sad as all of that is, how far away from it are they, really?
