I would urge everyone to not judge this too harshly.
I see no harm in supporting him in whatever he says or does (about his illness).
We should all pray for his recovery. And we should all therefore support whatever notion he has about dealing with it.
At any rate, and this should trump all criticisms, in a few months nothing we say or do is going to make a difference. He’ll either recover or won’t.
And I don’t see any way he can do any more (significant) damage in that little amount of time. The healthcare vote is dead until at least the Labor Day recess is done. So is all other legislative effort. Capitol Hill is shut down for the summer. Especially because of this.
So humor a man given such a diagnosis. Might come to regret any contrary words a few months from now anyway, for whatever reason.
You do what you need to do. This man has been a menace to our Constitution for decades. The day he asks for forgiveness for his betrayal of his oath of office I will view him a changed man. He has sucked enough oxygen out of this country all for self serving purposes. God will judge which side of the gulf his soul returns, not my business.
How many Americans were left and forgotten after the Vietnam escapade?
This is probably the worst type of cancer you can have. It took my
Father in 7 weeks from being diagnosed.
