Lantos, like all San Francisco area politicians, is ultra-liberal. Nevertheless, he does come down on the right side on the War with Terror, and he has been steadfast in his support for Israel.

He’s one of the few Rats that I have some respect for, even though I disagree with him on many issues. Prayers for his health.

I always thought he looked like he should be haunting a house somewhere

That can be a nasty cancer. I wish him God’s blessing.

Prayers for Congressman Lantos and his family. He is one of the few liberal Democrat politicians worthy of our admiration and respect.
Unfortunately, in that district, he will likely be replaced with someone ten times more liberal and not one-tenth as patriotic or honorable as Congressman Lantos.

As a fellow cancer victim..he has one of the worst.
The odds are very bad and the best treatment is a really radical surgery.
Prayers for him and his family and God needs to guide his Drs...
Unlike some of our DU members..we here don’t celebrate tragedy of our political rivals.

As bad as Lantos is, it’s hard to imagine his district electing somebody who is not even worse.

Lantos will be succeeded by the ultraleftist rodent State Sen. Jackie Speier. She was one of Congressman Leo Ryan’s staffers that went with him to Jonestown.

That type of cancer is usually a death sentence, second only to pancreatic. All the same I wish Mr. Lantos well.
To: SmithL
Prayers for Mr. Lantos. I don’t agree with him often, but he is a fine man. God Bless him and his family.

"Nevertheless, he does come down on the right side on the War with Terror, and he has been steadfast in his support for Israel." Perhaps his being a Jew has something to do with that!
Even the most Left leaning Leftists, will often make decisions in their own best interests...
Of course, the REALLY STUPID Jews like Boxer and many others in Congress - are too stupid to know WHAT is in their best interests...
The harm Lantos has done is NOT offset by his few correct votes....

I wish him a full recovery—but Washington DC will be better off with him enjoying retirement.

Even the most Left leaning Leftists, will often make decisions in their own best interests... Actually, most left-wing Jews despise Israel and religious Jews, and are the biggest supporters of giving up as much land as possible for the impossible fantasy of "peace" with Arabs.

“Lantos will be succeeded by the ultraleftist rodent State Sen. Jackie Speier. She was one of Congressman Leo Ryans staffers that went with him to Jonestown.”
She’s the one who ran for Lt. Gov. in the 2006 RAT primaries, right? Is she a Pelosi-style ultraleftist, or more of a Feinstein-style ultraleftist? (Feinstein does not appear to be as much of a traitor as Pelosi.)

Agreed - Lantos, while liberal, is a fighter on a number of foreign policy fronts, including honoring our commitment to Taiwan, which a lot of 'conservatives' would just as soon ignore.
One of the few Democrats I would miss.
