Good wishes to Arlen Specter . . . Sincerely . . . .
Edited on Sun Jun-26-05 09:54 PM by patrice
(We've had cancer in our family.)

I don't always like what you do, but I've always had the sense that you respect everyone, even the ones who aren't in power.

Stay strong Sen. Specter. I hope you will focus on creating and managing your physical strength to get through therapy. Here's my good wishes for you.

11. Oh, Christ. Now what?
No, no, forget I asked. I DO NOT want to hear about some nutbar Arlen Specter / JFK asassination connection.

Good God. Are there any boundaries to the lunacy? I guess not.

18. Ah, but I don't call people names.
I may argue against their positions, and yes, even ridicule their nuttery, but I don't sink to the level of name-calling.

It's kind of third-grade behavior, don't you think?

24. End of discussion. I don't respond to name calling,
and am certainly not going to engage in a conversation with someone who frothing at the mouth over a specific subject like you are.

No way.

'bye.

23. You do know
that Sen. Specter is credited with authoring the so called "magic bullet theory" for the Warren Commission, right? Whatever you may think of the theory, Specter's connection to the JFK assassination is not "nutbar", it is quite prominent.

17. Hey, I've seen some oblique references to that "look at the
morning sun" business as a health thing.

Do you have some links with information?

I'm serious. I've heard it does have benefits.
