Wellstone was a brilliant ....
The Senator from Minnesota was a perfect example of ...
He was not a Kommun....
Try as I might, I can't say anything good about him.

When any man departs this life, he can and always is replaced by another.
Senator Wellstone broke his most serious promise of all, regarding only two terms. The people believed that, but as always almost all men fall short after they have tasted the power of government. Wellstone fell way short.

Amazing how well these people know someone they never met.

Unlike some of my colleagues here, let me say a positve note about Wellstone, "may he enternally swim with his commie mentor Joe Stalin and others of that ilk in hell's burning lakes of sulpher and suffer the perpetual damnation due all those who would destroy this Republic from within."
Comrade Paulie's passing is proof, yet again, that God DOES bless America. NO AMERICAN SHOULD MOURN THE PASSING OUT WHAT WELLSTONE REPRESENTED!!!

Wasn't Senator Wellstone thinking of running for the Dem nomination in 2004 ? That is, before the crash.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
I despise Liberals as much as I do Islamic terrorists, they are cut from the same cloth, have the same mind set, and are equally destructive to freedom and the Constitution.
Wellstone never met a bomb dropped that he didn't like, or approve of, as long as it was not in defense of America and American citizens. He nodded consent and drooled like a demon over Clintons adventures in Bosnia, Somolia, asprin factories, all of it, yet voted against our self denfense against Iraq.
What are 8 dead liberals in a plane crash? A good start as far as I'm concerned.

A conservative office friend had been a Senate page when she was in college. She'd had quite a bit of contact with Wellstone while there, and when I told her of his death, she was very sad. "He was a very nice man...for a Communist."

PaulWellstone--man of the people Well, he definitely made an impact on Minnesota. About 200 feet long and 3 feet deep.

I guess he was a "man of the people" for those who think that countries named "People's Republic of [fill in the blank]" actually have anything to do with the people (other than repressing them).

I have to choke on the word "decent" to describe someone who defended partial birth abortion to the end.

From the AP, 12/4/96:
"Wellstone made his remark about despising Helms shortly after winning election in 1990. Wellstone, a former college professor, earned his graduate and undergraduate degrees from the University of North Carolina, in Helms' home state."
I have no doubt that Mr. Wellstone was a very nice man, and his death and those of his his family are tragic.
But amid all the sentimentality, let's not forget that he was a committed Leftist who had no difficulty "despising" people with whom he disagreed.
If Senator Helms had died in a plane crash yesterday, would there be all the media tributes we've seen since yesterday?
We all know better than that.

deeply committed to reshaping the mission of government to help people, particularly those who are disenfranchised...Does that word mean anything at all anymore?
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Wellstone was famous for promising to only serve two terms. Ironic that while in a campaign frenzy for his THIRD term, in violation of his promise, he bites the big one.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Wellstone; a pygmy in life, a democrat giant in death.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
I do not wish anyone death in this manner. But Wellstone was not a man of the people. He was an academic Socialist, who managed to get elected to the Senate. Very little that he espoused was consistent with traditional American values.
I offer condolences to those in his family who survived. May their loved ones rest in peace.
There is no reason, in any of this, for anyone to further the Socialist assault on America.
