oh my. pat moynahan has been a true statesman, even though it sometimes required him to walk a very narrow path to maintain some dignity in the face of democrat party pressures.

prayers for his full recovery.

Did the Social Security Commission he co-chaired ever finish their work?

Sen. Moynihan and Nunn could be the last of the honorable democrats in the US Senate who had a real voice in their party. Today, Sen. Breaux and Miller are ignored by their once-relevant political party.

Best wishes to Sen. Moynihan and his family.

Best wishes to the Democrats' #1 enemy of partial-birth infanticide.

I once admired Senator Moynihan.

I wonder why he prostituted himself to support Hillary's run though?

Good man. I always had respect for him because he believed in what he was saying and it wasn't parroting what the RAT leadership wanted. St. Paddy's Day wouldn't be a bad day to go out on. Let's pray it is not.

One of the best ... for a Democrat.
His book, written back in the 70's, was an early warning about the UN and a treasure to read.

Moynihan was a gun grabber.

Those who do not believe that Republican control of Congress for the past four years has produced any benefits should go to the THOMAS website and look at S. 156. This bill is Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s latest version of one of his favorite gun-control schemes. The bad news is that he wants an outright ban on all 9mm, .32 caliber, and .25 caliber ammunition. In advocating a ban, he has moved from his previous position of advocating a 1000% tax on these bullets. The difference between these two positions is meaningless.

Senator Moynihan has been in the Senate for a long time and has finally broken free of the credibility that he had almost built. Long ago, he started to build credibility by recognizing that welfare would ruin our society by destroying the role of parents in poor families. In more recent years, he justified his vote for the partial birth abortion (PBA) ban by stating that PBA was too close to infanticide. In 1998, Moynihan admitted on This Week with Sam and Cokie that if Bill Clinton obstructed justice and lied under oath, he should be removed from office. However, when he reached the moment of truth, he showed his lack of integrity by voting against the articles of impeachment.

Moynihan has always been an enemy of the American citizen’s right to self-defense. He was a zealous proponent of the Brady Bill, the Crime Bill, and the push to keep everyday Americans from having Winchester Black Talon bullets. The election of Bill Clinton in 1992 opened new opportunities for him to attack our Second Amendment rights, and one of his favorite schemes is to keep us from having access to ammunition. Source. (Written in 1999.)

Wow...never heard of an appendix attack at his advanced age. It's bad enough when you're younger. Yikes.

I wonder if Moynihan would have enjoyed better health if he had not been forced not to run for re-election.

By the way, I wonder why everyone's appendix isn't removed prophylactically at an age when such surgery is not a serious matter. (I speak as someone who still has his appendix.)

Yep, he's one of the few Democrats I don't have a white hot hate for.

Cheers.

Unfortunately/Fortunately, news is filled for today, so HillBilly can't use this for their benefit.
