Terry Schiavo continues to linger between death and a "constant-vegetative-state". This has given the "Right-Wing Bottom-Feeders" to posture, plead, and issue carefully-crafted "sound-bites". The most recent of these low-lifes is the Reverend Jesse Jackson. It seems that he NEVER misses any opportunity to seek the media-spotlight. In a matter that SHOULD be private, and determined by the Justice-system; Jesse Jackson's last-minute appearance has done nothing but gain publicity for himself. The situation of Terry Schiavo is one that confronts thousands of Americans every year; yet it has NOT been an issue, until the "Neo-Cons" decided that they could use it for political-gain... linking it to vague "Right-To-Life" statements, and the debate on abortion. If Terry Schiavo had been "African-American", "Hispanic", or "Asian" we would NEVER have seen such politicalization... A young,"White", attractive Female has more media-capitol than some decrepit 90-year-old; and we NEVER hear about them!! The depths to-which these "Right-To-Life" neo-Cons will descend is DISGUSTING!! No less than 19 judges have ruled that Michael Schiavo has the authority to determine his wife's medical care, and terms of her "passing". STILL the Republican Congress has ILLEGALLY interferred in the Judicial process; ANOTHER case of their disregard for the "Balance-Of-Powers" GUARANTEED by our Founding-Fathers and our Constitution!! If you are NOT outraged, then you are not paying-attention!!! This is nothing more than a Power-play by Republicans to manipulate our courts and install so-called "sympathetic" judges (Read: judges who agree with their fascist, ultra-conservative, and corrupt agendas... Those that favor corporate special-interests and lobbyists, NOT "average" Americans) This entire incident "MAKES ME WANT TO PUKE!!!"..........Dave
