Edited on Thu Apr-06-06 06:57 AM by NVMojo
of retired Adm. Joe Sestak and his wife, Susan. Sestak is running against GOP Rep. Curt Weldon who started smearing him about where he took his little daughter for treatment for a malignant brain tumor.

WHEN IN THE HELL ARE PEOPLE GOING TO WAKE UP AND FACE THE FACT THAT THE REPUKE LEADERS ARE PIGS WITH NO MORALS AND VALUES?????

5. Of course...Cheney hasn't shot the five year old in the face yet
Sounds like a joke. It isn't meant to be. That is the kind of games they play--hard ball. There is no bottom to the chasm into which they are dragging America: its politics, its people, its reputation as a world power. The shining beacon has become a warning flare to steer clear.

8. Hopefully, Germany at least has already learned that lesson
And I think they have. Two very devistating wars tend to wake people up to the realities that got them there in the first place.

3. This?! is who they're attacking?!
http://www.thehill.com/thehill/export/TheHill/News/Campaign/040506_sestak.html

Sestak acknowledged that his journey through the medical system and healthcare bureaucracy changed him.

“I had been sympathetic but not empathetic,” Sestak told The Hill. “You live in an oncology ward for four months and your perspective changes.”

After the chemotherapy, Alexandra had lost her hair. While Sestak was running errands with her along one day this year, a young boy, whom Sestak said meant no harm, asked Alexandra, who was wearing a dress, if she was a boy or a girl.

Sestak held his breath — unsure about what to do.

“My daughter kept quiet for a moment” before telling the boy that she is a girl, Sestak said, adding that she pointed to the few strands of hair on her head and said to him, “‘Daddy, can’t he see my hair?’”


:cry:

10. When your child is ill with something like a brain tumor NOTHING else
matters except getting them the BEST help they need to give them the BEST chance to get them better so they can LIVE as LONG and healthy a life as possible... politics and everything else be DAMNED.

My thoughts, prayers and best get well wishes go out to this sweet little girl and her loving parents.

This is an incrediblty mean spirited and insensitve attack even for a neo-CON RePUKE. :grr: Hopefully the voters of PA will be as horrified as I am at this type of tactic, see Sestak's outstanding qualifications and vote him into office.

12. Your subject line for this thread is misleading
You gave me the impression that some freepers were explicitly voicing a nasty attack, so that the RW candidate could get the benefit of it while not appearing to be going negative.

This attack wasn't just from freepers. The story you linked to reports that it was Congressman Weldon himself who criticized Joe Sestak over his choice of a hospital for his daughter's cancer treatment.

Well, I guess he figures he won't get any votes by talking about Iraq or health care or stuff like that.

An AP story about Sestak's response to the attack: http://www.contracostatimes.com/mld/cctimes/news/politics/14271801.htm

16. No, thanks, I'm not into spanking
It wasn't a slam at you, but at Weldon. I see that my intended tone didn't come across very well. If I'd been speaking instead of typing, you would have known that I was totally on the same side as you. In fact, I gave your thread a rec, and I wish one more person would do so to get this onto the Greatest page.

20. I have to disagree with you, too
I think you're being very unfair to slugs!

And, by the way, my supposed disagreement with you, like my previous post, is also intended in a humorous way. I don't go out of my way to have contacts with Freepers or slugs.

13. Sestak's response was powerful.
Edited on Thu Apr-06-06 08:35 AM by salin
What parent would forgo getting the best expertise for one's child when the life was in grave danger - for a political decision. If Weldon were to push this as an 'issue' - it will slap in him much more than it will gain for him.

14. I'm pretty sure Weldon will go after Santorum next
Doesn't little Ricky have a bit of a residency problem himself? Seems to me that Republican principles would dictate that equal treatment be meted out for a Senator who doesn't even have the poor excuse Sestak has of a five-year-old stricken by cancer. (A little early a.m. sarcasm.)

Oops, I forgot about the IOKIYAR exception to every rule, law, principle, dictum, guiding light, or good idea: It's okay if you're a Republican to lie to the American people and kill thousands of people, shotgun a man in the face, out a CIA operative, etc., etc. But it's unforgivable to seek the best health care available for your daughter with cancer.

18. Carpetbagger attack
Edited on Fri Apr-07-06 11:07 AM by JPZenger
This is part of Weldon's carpetbagger attack. His challenger just retired as a Vice-Admiral in the Navy in January. He lived where the Navy ordered him to live - often on an aircraft carrier. He always kept his voting address in this district, but he currently rents and doesn't own a home in the district. His family is staying near Washington while they care for his daughter. They didn't want to move her from care at a hospital that specializes in pediatric brain tumors.

http://www.sestakforcongress.com/

The same thing happened over in the race for the House seat in Bucks County. Patrick Murphy was attacked as a carpetbagger because he hasn't continually lived in the district. He was in Iraq serving as a captain in the 82nd Airborne.

www.murphy06.com

Here's another tidbit from the Delaware County Times:

"Figures released this week by the two camps indicate Weldon has raked in $450,000 in the first three months of the year. While eye-opening, that’s not totally unexpected. What is not is the numbers compiled by Sestak. He has accumulated $420,000 since entering the race on Feb. 1. Democrats have struggled in recent years struggled to raise money in their battles against Weldon. That won’t be the case this year. Sestak is attracting attention - and money - from national Democratic groups as well as folks right here at home. Weldon will do the same. By the time they’re done, the totals could be staggering."
