Florida voter poll says Jeb was flat wrong to interfere with right to die

[seafan]

Gov. Jeb Bush and Florida Republicans reignited a national debate on the right to die when they ordered a feeding tube reinserted into a brain-damaged woman, but the majority of the state's voters believe the politicians got it wrong, according to a new poll.

By nearly three to one, registered voters across religious, party and gender lines told pollsters they disagree with the intervention. While Bush and GOP legislators acted at the request of Terri Schiavo's parents to keep their daughter alive by overruling the wishes of her husband and a court, an overwhelming number of the poll's respondents believe that a spouse should determine whether an incapacitated person without a living will should be taken off life support.

''The governor is clearly in the wrong in terms of public opinion,'' said Democratic pollster Rob Schroth, who conducted the poll for The Herald and the St. Petersburg Times with a Republican pollster, Kellyanne Conway.

The responses were strong.

A really interesting tidbit from this article is that it appears in opinion polling in Florida for the first time that Jeb Bush's image is now being tied to his brother's... "the wartime President." Up until now, Jeb's ratings were consistently 10 points or so higher than his brother's... now Jeb's ratings are dead even.

That is a very good sign. And we have another 11 months to keep the pressure on these guys. THE PEOPLE are finally coming around to what this family is about.

1. since when to Jeb care about "laws"...ask him about 911 and

confiscating the flight school data records hours after the event.

2. I don't know about this. Source?

How would he know about the flight school "hours after the event"?

Link? Everyone know about this but me?

4. it was in a florida newspaper and referenced in mariani 911 suit

7. Why did your brother Jeb (the Governor of Florida) go to the offices of the Hoffman Aviation School and order that flight records and files be removed? These files were then put on a C130 government cargo plane and flown out of the country. Where were they taken and who ordered it done?

3. The will of the people..............

has never stood in Jeb's way of achieving his or his corporate owners' wishes. The bullet train, school class size, Everglades clean up.......all things that were voted on by Floridians and passed, don't seem to matter to Jeb and his cronies. They have their vision of what corporate owned Florida should be like, and the will of the people will never stand in their way.
The reason the people of my state elected and re-elected this asshole completely escapes me.

6. Simply put: We didn't.

I did not believe the election results on Election Day nor do I believe them today. Polls had Jeb ahead of McBride by the tip of his nose with likely voters right up until Election Day and some polls had them neck and neck. Then Jeb pulls out a win with a margin of 15%.

Uh huh. No way.

5. Jeb plain ole doesn't care...

you heard what he said when the government appointed guardian said that Schiavo wouldnt recover...oh, maybe he's not right!!

And then when the people see that Jeb doesnt care, they dont care...

Jeb's always been like that, he can call people an ass hole and they love it, he can say that the amendment about class size was stupid and we should revote cause we didnt know what we were talking about, and we dont care...he can call special session after special session about the medical malpractice insurance until he gets what he wants...

And his confidence leads people to beleive that he must be right...its so disturbing...

Better watch out,, if Georgie boy is re elected, Jeb will most likely be running in 2008!!
