So not only did Tom Delay murder his own father

[IcemanCometh]

He made money off of it. He later sued the company that made the couplings on the backyard tram that DeLay's dad and DeLay's uncle Jerry had built.

Now can you guess who the biggest critic of personal injury lawsuits is?


The case was resolved in 1993 with payment of an undisclosed sum of about $250,000, according to sources familiar with an out of court settlement. DeLay signed over his share of any proceeds to his mother, said DeLay aides.

Three years later, DeLay cosponsored a bill specifically designed to override state laws on product liability such as the one cited in his family's lawsuit. The legislation provided sweeping exemptions for sellers of such products.

Yeah, DeLay is a scumfuck, but I've known that for a while. How dare he judge Michael Schiavo for wanting the plug pulled, when he did it to his own dad? Oh wait, he's a politician. That would explain it.

No plug was pulled. she was not on life support.

plug, tube, it's the same thing: what is keeping them alive that they cannot do themselves and will never be able to do themselves, whether it's a pulse, breath, or eating.

Ok, so according you if someone is being kept alive by something that they cannot do for themselves then they should be killed. I'm sure everyone on oxygen would like to hear that.

Will they ever be able to breathe on their own? Read the whole post, Einstein.

Not all of them. emphysema is a son-of-a-bitch.

People with emphysema can breathe on their own. They receive suplemental oxygen, like folks with sleep apnea.

what happens if we take their oxygen?

Well, according to me if someone is being kept alive by something they cannot do for themselves they have the right to refuse that something.

They lose mobility and become house or bed bound.

Another example of the mainstream media distorting facts to suit their own agendas! Tom Delay's father was in a coma and on a ventilator. More importantly, there was no dispute among the family members as to what should be done. The father died within minutes of being taken off the ventilator - he wasn't starved to death over two weeks!!

Please people - get the facts straight before you post these idiotic threads!

:lmao

You telling people to get the facts straight is classic.

...he wasn't starved to death over two weeks!!

Please people - get the facts straight before you post these idiotic threads!

Funny to see these two snippets consecutively in sbsq'd post. Terri Schiavo will NOT starve to death. Get your facts straight.

[sbsquared]

Terri Schiavo will NOT starve to death. Get your facts straight.

Okay Mr. Doctor - what is happening to Terri? And aren't you that same one who said Terri's MRI showed her brain was mush? Kinda hard to know that since her Doctor admitted to Sean Hannity that there has NEVER been an MRI done on her brain!!

As an aside - all those people in Africa who don't have enough food - Humanitarian groups tell us they are starving - but I guess they must be wrong since you say withholding food from a person is not starving them!

Okay Mr. Doctor - what is happening to Terri?

Dehydration. You can look that up if you don't know the meaning.
