I was gonna post here about Tom "hypocrite" Delay and the decision he made to pull the plug on his own father in 1988, followed by one of those "frivolous" lawsuits he hates so very much. But that would just be too easy.

I decided instead to quote Mr. Delay regarding this "attack"..... If you miss the irony think about the last Presidential election and the personal attacks on a Senator from New England.

Quote

I tell you, ladies and gentlemen, one thing God has brought to us is Terri Schiavo to elevate the visibility of what's going on in America...This is exactly the kind of issue that's going on in America, that attacks against the conservative moment, against me and against many others. The point is, the other side has figured out how to win and to defeat the conservative movement, and that is to go after people personally, charge them with frivolous charges, link up with all these do-gooder organizations funded by George Soros, and then get the national media on their side. That whole syndicate that they have going on right now is for one purpose and one purpose only, and that is to destroy the conservative movement. It is to destroy conservative leaders...

The other side didn't figure it out Mr. Delay.... they are just following a very successful recipe developed by YOU.

Yeah I read about this earlier. Apparently no qualms about doing it to his dad in private but once it's a public issue he will tear down the walls of babylon to stop it. Hypocrite.

No they didnt use a dialysis machine on him. and by the way you know how long he was in that coma? 1 month then they stopped treatment.

The 65-year-old DeLay, his brother, Jerry, and their wives were trying out a tram the brothers had built to ferry their families up and down a 200-foot slope from their backyard home in Canyon Lake, Texas, to the edge of the lake when the tram roared out of control and jumped the tracks on Nov. 17, 1988.

Doctors advised that he would "basically be a vegetable," said the congressman's aunt, JoAnne DeLay, who suffered a shattered elbow and broken bones in the crash.

Like Schiavo, DeLay had no living will but had reportedly expressed to others his wish not to be kept alive by artificial means.

"Extraordinary measures to prolong life were not initiated," according to his medical report, which cited "agreement with the family's wishes."

He died on Dec. 14, 1988

Nourishment is not artificial means. We all need it. We give babies theirs through bottles. Thats not extrordinary means. Terri got heres through a tube. That not extraordinary means. Heck, shw was even getting it by a spoon every now and then, but her husband withdrew that.

Its not? How many babies get holes poked through their stomach so they can be fed a mixture of food/water? That is not natural. Feeding a baby through a bottle is. I have also seen no proof on the alledged spoon feeding you keep mentioning. Perhaps you care to share the source?

On a side note by your defintion neither would a dialysis machine be extraordinary, after all diabetics use them all the time to clean their kidneys.

Hmm - when is the last time you've been to PICU?

Edit: Dang missed the straight line.

How many babies get fed through a tube to their stomach? EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.

umbilical cord.

Thats funny I didnt say fed through a tube to their stomach, I said

"How many babies get holes poked through their stomach so they can be fed a mixture of food/water"

See the holes poked part? This is done by a dr., not in the womb. But I see you are just being difficult.

DING DING DING "Number one answer"

Not all diabetics go through dialysis. My mom has been a diabetic since the day I was born. She has never had to have it done.

EVERYONE EATS.....Not everyone has Kidney Dialysis.

no but everyone needs their blood cleaned. Some can do it themselves and some need a machine to do it. Sound familiar?

Instinctively my attitude toward Tom Delay in general is that he oughta be taken outside and shot, but reflection makes me realize it would be a waste of good ammunition.
