These people should be leaving office walking, not on a gurney with a sheet draped over them.

He resigned his seat over a year ago for health reasons.
To: wastedyears
these people are in office way too long and their deaths are no more important than anyone else's.....
term limits are needed because common sense is not common, and the system pays these politicos too much in power and privilege...

I thought once you died you had to run as a Democrat.

RIP regardless, but 45 years...?
Capitol Hill ought to be renamed Cemetery Hill.
In BTTF the town was named Hill Valley. From that pattern, not so difficult to locate the "valley" of Hamon Gog because...

A career overshadowed by the fact that he bitterly clung to power and engaged in voter fraud to get a last term. Very shameful. Prayers for his soul.

Correct. Thad Cochran resigned, and Cindy won Election, 6 year term.
Get the facts straight, and post them in your post to avoid these inaccuracies
