One less far left liberal Senator. Cha Ching!

Yep. I'm with you. I guess Wellstone should have focused his attention on Beechcraft safety, rather than gun safety, no? Oh, well. Lesson learned.

Uhm yeah me too. You know why that guy would not give two terds if I died fighting to protect his country. Oh and lip service about how much this guy cared about America and its military means popo to me.

I don't see what disrespect for the dead has to do with being an "unapologetic conservative".

Whether you agreed with Paul Wellstone or not, I don't think you'll find anyone in the United States Senate that felt he was anything other than an honorable man acting on pinciples he believed in strongly. Even Jesse Helms has called him a friend.

Is there anything at all "conservative" about this thread? Do the comments here represent what has become of the Republican Party? If so, I want no part of it and I'm sure that great Republican leaders from Goldwater to Reagan would be ashamed of what was here if they were able to see it.

One thing is for sure and that is the indisputable fact that the great majority of comments in this thread exhibit no trace of Christian love or conservative compassion.

Paul Wellstone was a liberal, yes. But Paul Wellstone was also a living, breathing human being. He is lost along with his wife, a daughter, three campaign aides who were working for what they truly thought was right and two pilots that will never see their families again.

You people making these hateful posts should be ashamed.
