What I was trying to say is that many of those who are siding with her parents are not acting in bad faith, and that there are things said in the media that might lead someone to reasonably question what her husband has done. In other words, I don't necessarily question the motives of everyone who reaches different conclusions about the case than I have.
DeLay, on the other hand, seems to have been suggesting to political supporters in recent days that she should be kept alive without regard to what she would have wanted, a view inconsistent with how he and his family dealt with his father's situation. I question DeLay's motives. He is a political opportunist.
If everyone approached these questions as bilmore does, the conversation would be a very different one. Where bilmore goes most wrong, IMHO, is in suggesting that Tom DeLay and others are thinking about the case like he is.
