Imho, Paul Wellstone was an honest man. He would come straight out and say he wanted to raise your taxes for some socialist scheme. There are very few liberals you can say that about.

May the Lord hold senator Wellstone and his family in the palm of His hand.

Well, then, it's too bad he was on the wrong side of the fence.

There are very few liberal who are honest about what they are and he was one. It was interesting how there was talk about the Iraq resolution and how Wellstone could not vote in favor without seeming inconsistent. Implied in the comment is that consistentcy was one of the man's attributes. Almost unheard of amoung Democrats. Moynahan is the only other one that comes to mind.

I liked him. I disagreed with him consistently, but I always thought he believed what he said. Recall he was the only Democrat on the Senate Judiciary committee who said that they were using litmus tests and ideology to block Bush judges. Now everyone knew that was true, but he was the only one, the only one, who would admit it.

"May the Lord hold senator Wellstone and his family in the palm of His hand."

Senator Wellstone had no regard for the Lord or His ways. His record on this is clear.

I think it's tragic what happened, but I ask a simple question: whose side was God on? President Bush (who has stood for many moral things), or his vocal, shameless critic? Let's not get fruity, just because the man died tragically.

He wasn't a good man, plain and simple.

If Wellstone was an honest man, why did he so vociferously support the Kosovo War (a war authorized neither by the Congress nor by the UN)?
