For your lifetime of Public Service. I disareed with you 80% of the time, but I nonetheless thank you for your service.

1. I will never, ever, forgive him for the things he said and insinuated during the Thomas confirmation

[enough]

2. I don't thank him during the 100% of the time that Clarence Thomas is a Supreme Court Justice. (nt)

3. Thank you for running as a Dem, so we could unseat you.

[ellie]

4. That is exactly what I was thinking!

Sayonara Senator Magic Bullet!

5. Perky, this is nice.

I couldn't agree more. I disagreed with his philosophy while he was a Republican, and couldn't help but keep him at arms length when he changed to D after being an R after all those years. It's really hard for a Leopard to change it's spots.
However, first and foremost, part of me, feels for him as a person. He has spent most of his life, serving the people in some capacity or another, whether you agreed with him or not.

So thank you Senator Spector.

6. Thank you senator spector for leading the funding effort for medical research

your work kept many of us employed during the Bush administration and for that alone you will always have my gratitude. Even as a republican you were our advocate more so than any democrat except one who you worked with on a bipartisan basis to keep at least some funding going to the NIH - meaning academic teachers/researchers as well

7. And thank you for voting for the BFD .... and the Recovery Act.

Thank you for swapping parties long enough to give us those 60 votes ... it was fun while it lasted.

8. Agreed. eom.
