Who is the congressman that is starting treatment for leukemia? I saw it on the crawl on CNN but ca...

[patricia92243]

can't find it on their web site. I was not familiar with the name or if it is a Democrat or Republican.

The crawl said that he planned to be back in January, but I know you can't "plan" with cancer.

Anybody???

1. Senator (Thomas?) from Wyoming just reelected...n/t

[Gato Moteado]

2. he's a repuke

senator thomas of WY

let's hope he retires. there's a dem gov who could appoint a dem replacement. that would nullify holy joe and give the anti-war movement a bigger edge.

thomas is a bushbot that supports the iraq war.

3. Nothing like sinking to their level and using an illness for partisan gain. . .

. . .don't know the guy, probably don't like his politics but I wouldn't want anyone going through what he is going through.

4. i don't wish anything bad on him......

....but since he got sick i hope he decides to retire so we can replace him with a dem and get onto the vital biz of getting our guys out of iraq and ending the war.

look, i don't wish harm upon the guy. but he's one of the repuke monsters that supported this war (and lots of other vile, evil repuke legislation) so if we have a chance to get him out and a dem in, then that's a plus for us. his life is a human life just like any others and i respect his life.....i just wish he had respected the hundreds of thousands of human lives that have been destroyed during the 6 years of bushco. he's a rubberstamper. move him out, move somebody with a conscious in and let's stop the senseless killing in iraq.

i don't wish suffering upon him, even tho he's a fascist that has supported the suffering and murder of innocents, but my main concern is getting the largescale violence to end in iraq. we can't count on holy joe to help us there. this seat, should it open for us, could nullify holy joe and his power trip.

after we end the war, let's work on undoing the other thing that the fascists (including thomas) have done to the country and the world. think about: stemcell research, healthcare, minimum wage, the environment.

i hope he gets better and changes his ways.....i also hope he steps down very soon and his seat becomes blue. the goal here is to move the bad guys out and the good guys in. sure it's not the optimal way to do it....we'd rather win all the seats in landslide elections. but at the moment, we have a crisis in iraq and many domestic crises in case you haven't noticed.

i don't think i'm stooping to anyone's level for partisan gain. wake up and smell the burning babies and women in iraq.

anyway, that's my 2 cents. please don't think i'm heartless and that i've wished death or suffering on anyone. that would be an unfair accusation.
