I'm appalled at how many right wing Republicans are rallying to the Teri Shiavo "cause" in the attempts to intervene with her feeding tube being removed!!! They accuse the husband and doctors of "playing God" when in fact it's them [Republicans] that are attempting to play God by defying natural selection. It is not inherent for a human being to be kept alive by machines...that's man's way, not God's (nature) way.
Her brain is dead. Never to be recessitated. Ever. She has not moved in years and deserves to die with some dignity. The portion of her brain that controls motor skills is GONE! No more. Caput. Ceases to be. Let her go already.
And comes her husband that Bible-thumpers are accusing of being an "adulterer" because he chose to move on and find another woman. Give me a fucking break and cry me a fucking river! What do you expect him to do? Drop in at nights for a quickie? Maybe they can share romantic walks on the beach or have kids. He did what 99% of the men in this world would do and 1% would lie about doing when their spouses ask.
I am a Republican and I will stand up and admit that what they [Republican Party] are attempting to do is absolutely appalling and terrible. The ones perpetrating this crusade are right wing nut jobs but none-the-less, they are still Republicans and represent what the Republicans have to offer. A truly sad, sad day in Republican history.
