A blow to the pro-life folks in the party. He's been such a champion....a real statesman too, the likes of which are too few today.

HHH always fought the good fight like a gentleman. I'll never forget the impassioned speech on the rule of law he gave right before he was stabbed in the back by Traitor Lott.

Ping!
The RATS on the local news are bragging about picking up the IL-06. They claim that Crane's ouster in the Il-08 last year will follow into the Il-06. I expect Barack Obama to campaign for the RAT nominee. I hope Joe Birkett, Du Page State Attorney runs for the Il-06 seat.

I can't blame anyone who is 81 from deciding to quit wearing a necktie every day.
Thanks, Harry, for all you've done.

His challenger last year made quite a showing....
Has Birkett ever expressed any interest in going to the House?

No surprise here, it's been expected for a while. Chances are, he'll be replaced by another pro-life Republican.
To: RWR8189
Hyde was tarnished when his "youthful indescretion" was exposed during the Clinton impeachment. However, I have always admired his strong, pro-life stand. He has been in the arena fighting for the life of the unborn for 30+ years that I can remember. Bless Him.

I met Hyde back in 2000. Really nice guy, and has always been a champion for the GOP. Sad to see him go, but he's earned his retirement.
To: GiveEmDubya
I think he's feeling his age physically..

He served his country well.
May he have a long and happy retirement.

Henry is the one whose death was called for on national TV by "actor" Alec Baldwin.
