1. WUSA has a live conference now.

[nitpicker]

2. 20 or 30 bad spots

as I said after xxx, even they don't deserve that.

[question everything]

3. Who is Hogan (MD), please? Thank you (nt)

[elleng]

20. The governor of Maryland, republican,

began his term in January after defeating Democratic former lieutenant governor.

[question everything]

28. Thanks. Wish the OP were clearer. (nt)

5. I dislike his politics but I do hope he makes a full recovery.

Cancer does suck.

[HERVEPA]

7. His policies cause harm and death to others. No sympathy here.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

9. I don't mind if he resigns to take care of his health.

But I wouldn't wish cancer on my worst enemy, personally.

[HERVEPA]

13. Well, I differ.

He wishes death on others by his policies.

[BlueEye]

18. I take it you support the death penalty?

I mean you would have to, otherwise your position on Hogan would be logically inconsistent.

Meanwhile, the compassionate progressives on this forum know not to wish death on people that we disagree with, even when that person "wishes death on others by his policies" as you assert.

[HERVEPA]

21. Not at all logically inconsistent

Not caring if this guy recovers is nothing like the state killinmg someone. Go back to logic 101

[Tommy_Carcetti]

19. Or maybe it could be a teachable moment for him.

I'm always hopeful in the chance of redemption for anyone, no matter how horrible or misguided their past deeds may be.

[Doctor_J]

31. not a chance. no one who currently identifies as a republican has a soul

[charliea]

22. Uh, no

Speaking as someone who abhors current Republican policies and speaking as someone who finished 5 months of chemo late last year I can separate my desire to see his party eradicated from my hope for his recovery. Nothing is more unnerving than to have your own body become a traitor.

Empathy is a core value that Republicans seem to me to lack. Let's not be that.

[HERVEPA]

25. Would you have wanted Hitler to die of cancer in the 1930's?

[HERVEPA]

26. By the way, not saying he is anything like Hitler,

but am saying they are both responsible for unnecessaru deaths

[onenote]

29. Actually that's exactly what you did.

Before you tried to walk it back.

[HERVEPA]

30. nope. Was a clarification

Anti -choice. More clinics v;osed ==> more illegal abortions ==> more injured or dead woman.

Let's see him worry about the health of some other people

[philosslayer]

24. Oh i knew it wouldn't take long

Do you want to be the one to start the death pool? Sounds like you're looking forward to it.

[nitpicker]

6. The presser aftermath

Is at least on WMAR out of Baltimore.

[nitpicker]

10. And WJLA broke in for a tidbit

OK, turn off the 5 pm news now, we know what it will be full of...

[LynneSin]

8. Cancer sucks. I hope he can make a full recovery...

so we can kick him out of office in 2018.

[hrmjustin]

11. I wish him the best and hope his treatment works.

[restorefreedom]

12. cancer is vile and is an equal opportunity killer

i hope he beats it

[lamp_shade]

14. I think that's what killed Jackie Kennedy Onassis. n/t

[Freddie]

17. Correct

And my MIL around the same time. It can be treatable, even cured, with aggressive chemotherapy. However, with both Jackie and my MIL, it had spread to the brain, and once that happens it's too late.

[CTyankee]

23. Yes, so sad. I grieved over that so much...but she was a champion and her family

was strong...

[bigdarryl]

15. Both of my parents died of cancer my father at 49 lung cancer

Mother 77 of colon cancer

[Glimmer of Hope]

16. Hope he beats it. No one deserves cancer.

[ReasonableToo]

27. Maybe...

Maybe he'll see light and work to legalize medical marijuana...

[Arkana]

32. Cancer is an ugly, ugly disease

and I hope Governor Hogan's treatment goes well.

[Amishman]

33. I don't care who you are, I want everyone to beat cancer

Politics should not come before human decency, I wish him a full recovery. I do hope his struggle teaches him a little empathy for others who need medical help.
