But he is still a suitable presidential candidate.<br /><br />Maybe you should have said "he's likely to mistake dreamed up figures for facts and therefor he's not a suitable presidential candidate."<br /><br />Or you should have said "He's capable of telling you a lie straight to your face without even blinking and therefor is not a suitable presidential candidate."<br /><br />But you did't say anything like that. Why not? Why do you try to defend Santorum? Is it because you are as misinformed as he is? Is it because you don't know the facts either? The references you give are pseudo-references. You quote one single source who's credibility is highly questionable. You throw in even more assumptions in order to make right what is most evidently wrong. <br /><br />What you do is dream up facts and toss a big conspiracy (the government is not telling us the truth) into the bowl. By trying to be apologetic, trying to defend Santorum where even he hasn't deemed it necessary, you have lost your credibility as much as he has. <br /><br />And why is it you think that to make people suffer is to care about them?<br /><br />To paraphrase someone on the Washington Post blog: "Want to see caring in action? Just look at this guy spending his last two months in agony, whilst the money he wanted to pass on to his wife and children is taken away at a rate of thounsands of dollars a day, just to continue his agony!"<br /><br />I'm sorry to be so sarcastic. But this is as much a truth as anything you can come up with in your counter-argumentation.<br /><br />I myself do not argue for or against euthanesia. This is something everybody should decide for themselves. My life is as sacred to me as my death, as both are inescapably bound to each other, and I do not want anybody other than myself to be in charge of either.<br /><br />If I prefer to die in order to stop my suffering I don't want you to forbid me from asking someone to help me. If I do not want to die, I don't want someone else to force me either.<br /><br />This matter is way to important than it to be decided or even influenced by some group of pseudo-religious lobbyists that have no matter of relevance into the issue anyhow.<br /><br />Thank you for reading.R.B.
