Prayers he decides to retire to recover and enjoy what’s left of his life.
One less vote for 0bamacare as long as he’s in the hospital. So this is a good thing.
And I said that because the guy is 86 years old. Who wants to be Obama’s bitch until he dies? Yeeesh.
Torricelli would have been the only democrat in the state who could have lost that election in a very blue state (back then.) The powers that be "convinced" "The Torch" to step down, and he was replaced, as a candidate, with the avuncular Mr. Lautenberg, who did so little in his previous incarnation as a senator, that he didn't make many enemies.
The N.J. Supreme Court, completely packed with liberals, ignored the state law that did not allow a change in candidates past a certain deadline (which had long since passed,) and allowed the substitution.
And now you know the rest of the story, as Paul Harvey used to say.
Here’s hoping he won’t finish his term.
Prayers for a full recovery.
:-)!
86, stomach cancer!? Under Obama-care his case should be presented for the board and maybe what he really needs is a pill.
Prayers for Senator Lautenberg.
But, independent of his illness, I wish that he would retire.
RIP soon.
So, he’s planning to run as a 90 year old and serve till he’s 96? Who does he think he is, Strom Thurmond.
That’s pure bs and he and his staff know it. It’s a way politicians use to make themselves appear NOT to be lame ducks, but who buys it?
At his age this has to be more dangerous even if they label it as treatable.
Though no fan of Lautenburg’s, I hope he recovers.
Hmmm. Under Obamacare, shouldn’t they just put him in hospice and let him die? He’s 86. He doesn’t have much more to contribute to society and just think of the low quality of his life from here on out, especially after chemotherapy. I think he should be denied care.
Of course, Obama has no intention of having his buds denied care the way the middle class will be any more than he intends to have his daughter suffer in public school the way normal people’s kids have to. Senators will always get that “extra something.”
Good riddance
Here's the history of lapdog reporting on Lautenberg current health:
U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg taken to area hospital after fall (2/15/10)If this had not been a Democrat, this same leftist media, would have been all over the hospital and its staff for the entire story - from day one. Remember, newly elected Governor Christie (R) would appoint a replacement if/when Lousenberg became unable to perform his Senatorial duties.(U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg is treated for bleeding ulcer 2/16/10)
U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg is diagnosed with cancer (2/19/10)
U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg is diagnosed with {stomach} cancer (2/19/10)
3 months.
Lautencadever is about to become a real cadaver. Chemo for stomach cancer at his age = “Dead Dem Walkng”
Republican Gov can appoint a Rep. replacement.
The Dems seem to be dropping lke flies?Devine intervention?
