May she rest in peace.
I wish strength, patience and courage to those, left behind.

Not a Congresswoman dies, but a Republican congresswoman dies? No comment about her, no prayers go out to her family, no sympathy for her battle with cancer. There are already a number of members who claim you celebrate the death of your opponents. I'm starting to believe it. Maybe you could post again and say your respects.

It is a very sad story and my condolences go out to her family. We have made tremendous progress fighting breast cancer but there is still a long ways to go. I doubt there are many of us not touched by this disease in some way and it is heartwarming to see so many beating the cancer but, like I said, we are also sometimes reminded of the long road still ahead.

Your right nothing derogatory, and you can give him the benefit of the doubt. A bit of a stretch, lets see. The article's title did not mention the Congresswoman's party affiliation, thus, he would have had to read the beginning of the first paragraph. What jumps out in the first paragraph, that she was a Republican or that she had a heroic two year battle with cancer. Maybe its just me, but my title mentions the cancer rather then the party. I at least have the decency of offering my condolences.
My prayers go out to her family.

It's rare that I have anything in common with QuiGon, but his sentiments echo mine.

As far as Mikey's lack of comment goes, I think he's pretty cynical.

Amazing how he's so "cynical" when it involves Republicans. Admit it: he's gloating, pure and simple. I've been saying this for months now and more and more we can see others agreeing with that belief.

he didn't gloat at all... the only thing we see more and more of is that you carry absolutely no weight around here whatsoever...

That explains why you respond to virtually every single post I make 24/7....
