Comments on: Schindler’s List http://www.onebigdog.net/schindlers-list/ "Let that be a lesson to you, boys and girls. Don't ever argue with the Big Dog because the Big Dog is always right" Mon, 22 Mar 2010 00:20:10 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Big Dog http://www.onebigdog.net/schindlers-list/comment-page-1/#comment-429 Big Dog Fri, 01 Apr 2005 12:03:56 +0000 http://www.onebigdog.net/?p=329#comment-429 It is a shame that I feel the neccesity to paint all liberals with the same brush but when I read the more liberal blogs it is evident that they fell on the side of the husband in this issue and neglected the life aspect of the situation. There were many conservatives who felt the same way but the majority of the blogs I have read sided with the Schindler's on this one. You are right about the democrats who showed up for the vote but that is the key. Many stayed away from the issue thereby approving the death sentence in abstentia. I do agree with you about life affirming members of both parties sticking together on this issue. I truly hope that this awakened the public on the importance of a living will or medical power of attorney.

Sen. Tom Harkin, Jesse Jackson, Ralph Nader and nearly half of voting House Democrats supported Terri's life. The fault lines on this issue are not typical. It would be great for life-affirming Republicans and Democrats to join together and give a big middle finger to the others in their parties.
