15. look at this one trying to be reasonable
To: LisaMalia


O'Reilly's opinion will have no effect on the outcome of this case. Nor will mine, if I ever figure out what it is.

7. If it's Tuesday O'reilly must be saying something right.
About one of 7 times he says something right - just never for the right reasons.

10. O'Reilly's concern is the money it might cost to keep her alive.
That's about it. All the other righties appearing on his show don't know what to say when he brings up a figure of 80k a month. The righties agree they don't want the government to pay, agree that they don't want to get into a position where they actually have a right to life that includes a right to government support, so they fall silent.

18. Too funny
They want to save her but they don't wanna help pay for it. Go figure. My mother said if she was Schiavo she'd give Bill Frist the bill.

23. The contradictions of the right wing.
Life is sacred, but not THAT sacred. That's why Bush signs the bill in Texas that basically lets hospitals discontinue care whenever someone can't pay.

It seems that the entire repug leadership is trying to find a way so that Schiavo is the only person for whom this new ethic of life counts, so they don't have to pay for a bunch of people in PVS. For everyone else, they are hoping that their families are charter members of Death With Dignity.

36. You make a great point....
"It seems that the entire repug leadership is trying to find a way so that Schiavo is the only person for whom this new ethic of life counts, so they don't have to pay for a bunch of people in PVS. For everyone else, they are hoping that their families are charter members of Death With Dignity."

Sort of like, (paraphrasing) "there is no precedent here," as witnessed with Bush v. Gore, 2000?

39. Moral principles vs "no precedent here"
It's basically an admission that they don't want anyone finding any generally applicable principles. Why? Because principles bind them from taking future inconsistent actions, becasue it is a restraint on power. The greatest power is the power to be arbitrary. The ability to pick and chose which principles to apply, if any, allows maximum power that allows maximum pandering that allows maximum power.

So when its a black baby born to a poor family, the hospital gets to choose. When its a white women with religious parents, the religious get to choose.

11. Cover His Ass
Polls are showing overwhelming numbers of people are both in favor of allowing the tube to be pulled and their seeing this story in a negative light.

People are tuning in, but many are mad, not happy with what they're seeing...the networks are starting to feel the heat...but they're in too deep to just step away.

Fox's own polls are showing this and my bets are O'Reilly's the one who covers this hideous network's ass with many of their viewers who aren't fully kool-aided.

What would be interesting to see, but doubt it will happen (since there are way more right wing Drug Limbo types out there than Jay Sevrins) to see a fight between "moderate" and fundie/wing nut Repugnicans...this is an issue that could do it...and now will a network see this as a possible ratings bonanza and exploit it? Reading this MSGOP???

"Fox's own polls are showing this and my bets are O'Reilly's the one who covers this hideous network's ass with many of their viewers who aren't fully kool-aided."

If I were a betting person, this would be my take.

19. They're only torn 'cause they haven't figured out yet...
...what the 'official line' is that they're all supposed to adopt as their 'belief' and 'principle'.

It's hard work living by talking points. Hard work.
