One Year that Tony Snow Has Beeen Gone (Vanity)

Posted on 07/12/2009 4:13:48 AM PDT by Buddygirl

It has been one year since Tony Snow died. How I miss this man! Just wanted to put up a thread to remember a very good man who kept the press people on their toes in the White House. How I wish we could see another Tony Snow there!

The GOP could have learned a major lesson from Tony by reaching out to Freepers and talking to us daily. We didn’t always agree with Tony but there was a great deal of respect that went both ways in those threads.

Tony was a good man.
I never met him but I felt like I knew him.
He is really needed now . . . . . .

I miss Tony also, and think about him a lot! I think about him every time I turn on Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday. I say where did they find this guy?

Tony was...well they only made one Tony Snow, and he is gone...so sad, but he is with the Lord!!!!

FNS just hasn’t been the same. Chris does an OK job compared to everyone else that’s on, and I catch him when I can.

With Tony, I made time to watch FNS.

“How would Tony handle this guy?” is how I think when I now debate liberals.

Every day is a blessing.
We live in the greatest nation on earth.
A smile opens minds, not just doors.
There is seldom a reason to get angry.
You can’t teach someone in a short argument what took you years to learn.
If Tony could not change Helen’s mind, no human can.

Hello, to all you snowflakes!

Besides his intelligence, what I most remember about Tony Snow is his joyful, giving demeanor in face of the hate of the Left. His benevolence was a great virtue. RIP.

I just watched Griff on Fox. He held himself together, just barely.

Me too. Tony was a force of nature. A force for good. There was nothing phony about him. He must have been quite the anomoly in Washington, DC.

I just saw the tribute on Fox News too and had to get on here and be wtih my fellow snowflakes. Tony was so special. I miss him all the time and hear in my head what he would say about all that is going on now. Oh how I wish he was here with us! Prayers for Jill, his family and all those who loved him on this day.

(((Hugs))) to all my fellow snowflakes.

I can’t believe it’s been a year. To other people, it feels like yesterday; to me it seems like ten years.

Lord God, we don’t question Your wisdom, but You surely have millions of righteous ones in heaven with You; can’t You leave a few good guys down here to fight? Was this sort of a premature rapture situation for Tony, to spare him all the garbage going on down here? Please send us some more soldiers to carry on the fight here.

He was a great man. And a good and kind human being — something that is quite missing among the lackeys in the mainstream media.

Dear me, save. I have returned and just skimmed the first 50 posts and it is filled with so many friends of Tony and so many SnowFlake friends of mine that I will never get to reply to all.

So, to ALL who are here I say “Hi” and it is good to see you once again. Would that it be for a happier occasion than remembering our Friend Tony Snow and his family.

Prayers up for Tony and his family.
