Farewell to Frank Lautenberg -- the greatest public servant I know

Fox ^ | 6/3/13 | Julie Roginsky

[workerbee]

Goodbye to my friend, my role model and the greatest public servant I know, New Jersey Democrat Senator Frank Lautenberg, who died Monday at age 89.

Goodbye to the last member of the Greatest Generation in the United States Senate and the last of the liberal lions.

Goodbye to the man who is likely responsible for saving more lives than any other politician of his generation.

In 2000, Lautenberg retired from the senate seat he loved so dearly and instantly regretted it.

After all, this was the man who had authored laws that prevented tens of thousands of deaths from drunk driving and from second hand smoke and who saved countless lives by authoring legislation that banned those convicted of domestic violence from buying guns.

Resting on his laurels was not in his DNA.

With the news as it has been of late in this screwed up country, I keep a puke bucket with me at all times.

[fwdude]

Goodbye to the man who is likely responsible for saving more lives than any other politician of his generation.

Remind me again how many babies have been aborted every year since this man has served in the Senate?

[jmacusa]

I live in NJ. Thank God this prick is dead. Now if we could just get rid of Christie.

[Da Coyote]

>> A liberal is a tick

But not every Tick is a liberal.

Heh!

[Fledermaus]

Need to add a Barf Alert!

[workerbee]

Yeah, yeah, I done been told!

“Follow her on Twitter@Twitter@julieroginsky”....only to spit in her eye.

[sport]

No, thank you, I won’t.

[Lazamataz]

This completely demonstrates what Fox has become.... nothing more than another NBC/CBS/ABC network....

As to Frank Rottenburg?

Free Republic has a long tradition of being respectful even to our opponents on obituary threads. Some of those opponents were honorable men. Patrick Moynihan springs to mind as an example.

However, there are some who are SO heinous, SO anti=-Constitutional, SO statist, SO traitorous, that they deserve nothing but scorn, even in death.

Ted Kennedy was one such man.

Frank Lautenberg is another. I spit on his grave and celebrate his death. May he rot in Hell.

So, Frank Lautenberg died?

Ding Dong the ****head is dead!

Julie Roginsky ... was previously the Capitol Hill communications director for Senator Jon Corzine.
She sure knows how to pick the losers.

[txnativegop]

Ugh! (Wiping lunch off screen) :(

[Revolting cat!]

The Senator was known to his friends and close associates as “The Lout”!

[hal ogen]

Julie is in need of involuntary commitment. She is the pin-head of pin-heads.

[Alaska Wolf]

This says it all.

"democratic strategist.... After working at EMILY'S LIST... Liberal analyst Julie Roginsky played the race card.....While on the "O'Reilly Factor", Democrat Strategist Julie Roginsky made the wild claim

This completely demonstrates what Fox has become.... nothing more than another NBC/CBS/ABC network....

Any network has to have people on to represent divergent viewpoints. It gets dull otherwise. It's not like they speak for the network.

Free Republic has a long tradition of being respectful even to our opponents on obituary threads.

Good tradition. Roginsky worked for Lautenberg. She's part of the state machine. She's expected to write stuff like this.

Just to point that out, make a few fact-based critical observation on whatever Lautenberg may have done, and move on ought to be enough.

[The Wizard]

no offense but he’s just another dem who cares very little about the country and remains dedicated to the mob, unions and the dem party

[The Wizard]

If Christie has any hope of getting GOP votes, it had better be a republican, and not olympia snowecone

[BenLurkin]

Is this satire?

[OrioleFan]

It was seriously hard to be in the senate that long and be so hated and do so little.

John Kerry comes to mind.
