Let us pray that he recovers despite his disservice to the nation.

1. Let's pray he comes to a moment of clarity and truthfulness before he dies,

And fesses up to the fact that he helped perpetrate one of the greatest lies in our history upon our country.

[Panasonic]

2. Despite his late conversion to D,

his history has shown disregard for the middle class and the poor.

And responsible for the lies about JFK

[catbyte]

5. And his culpibility for putting Clarence Thomas on the Supreme Court

[Plucketeer]

3. Wonder if Arlen's got good health insurance?

Hopefully, with no guvamint death panels impeding his access to care.

4. lol--well said--

he seems to have come to regret his earlier peccadilloes. Wish he would come out confess and explain who told him to peddle the single bullet theory. Oh well, best wishes for a speedy recovery.

6. Let us pray that he recovers-- no thanks i'll pass

[frazzled]

7. That's a terrible thing to say

Honestly.

[leftyohiolib]

10. too bad - btw you'll definately not like the response below my post

he was a terrible greedy person.

[frazzled]

12. Well, all I can say is

... this kind of venom is unseemly, and in the end, sadly, will redound onto the posters themselves. As The Beatles once sang:

"And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make."

[leftyohiolib]

19. you reap what you sow and the beatles were just songwriters

[Nye Bevan]

13. YES. Why not wish sickness and death upon people whose political positions differ from ours? (nt)

[leftyohiolib]

17. you do what u want- i never wished anything on him. i was asked to pray for him and i said no thanks

[Gregorian]

8. Zero recommendatoins. Haha.

[dballance]

9. Screw him. Let him die a horribly painful death the same as he sentenced so many people to.

I wish I were sorry about being so blunt but I'm not.

[cynatnite]

15. Yes, wishing death on someone is always a shining example of a progressive...

Myself, I wish him and his family the best. Wishing death on someone is never a good thing no matter their faults.

[dballance]

21. Fuck him hard.

Oh those wishing well.

[HopeHoops]

11. He beats the hell out of Santorum and Toomey. Best wishes, Arlen.

[GoneOffShore]

14. I'll second that.

He made some missteps but essentially was a reasonable guy.

[HopeHoops]

16. He was one of the last moderate Republicans we've had. The party has gone hard-core right.

[ProfessorGAC]

18. Seems Like Damning With Faint Praise

He is still not a progressive, but because he's not a raving lunatic, he's sort of, kind of, a little bit ok, maybe.

20. I've had some correspondence with him as a constituent. He's one of the best I've had.

The absolute best was Dick Swett (yes, that's his real name) in NH. Casey's pretty good too. Toomey would rather suck my asshole than reply to a message, and I wouldn't let Mr. Frothy anywhere NEAR that region for obvious reasons.
