Terri Schiavo's husband vows to campaign against Jeb Bush

[RandySF]

Jeb Bush was preparing to release the emails he sent and received as Florida governor when he was excoriated by a letter-writer to The Miami Herald.

The headline: "Don't trust Jeb Bush with the power of the presidency."

The subject of many of the emails was Terri Schiavo. The letter-writer was her husband, Michael.

Bush's effort to stop Michael Schiavo from removing his brain-damaged wife's feeding tube was a defining moment of Bush's time in office.

Bush, a devout Catholic, sided with Terri Schiavo's parents in the end-of-life dispute and reached for unprecedented authority to intervene. Michael Schiavo said his wife did not want to be kept alive artificially.


As Bush moves toward a run for president in 2016, Michael Schiavo has reemerged, promising to campaign against Bush and remind voters about the ex-governor's role in the matter.

1. I hope his crackpot, rich man's take on religion is what sinks him

along with his complete corruption, selling out the whole state to developers among other things.

While I felt very sorry for Schiavo's parents, no parent wants to outlive a child, they clearly had no idea what was going on with their daughter. No one was home any more. They really had to be forced to let her go.

I stand with Michael Schiavo. The greatest gift he gave his wife was unshackling her from a body that no longer worked.

Jeb Bush's role was completely shameful.

3. Good for him.

The way in which the right--with this Bush at the forefront--used Terri Schiavo's agony as a political football was well beneath despicable.

8. yes, the very people who bark endlessly about "government intrusion"

what a bunch of assholes

5. In this case, I hope Terri Schiavo gets his blood revenge

Because he deserves it and we need it. Peace to him though the sentiment might ring hollow.

6. Jeb's run for President must be gnawing holes in the stomachs of many good Floridians.

I hope the truth of who he fights for comes out during his campaign—like it did with R$.
God I hate these GOP politicians.

7. I hope he does

I am more than willing to write letter after letter to papers reminding people that he overstepped his authority in the case. I stand with Michael Schaivo.
