Tim Johnson, please "Get Well!"

[southerncrone]

This is terrible news.
I am beginning to think that my tinfoil hat is permanently ensconce on my head these days, because I always suspect Repuke fowl play when anything "bad" happens. We know the Repuke Dirty Tricks Committee will be in high gear since the embarrassment on Nov. 7. This just seems fishy to me, & too convenient for Repubs. Maybe it is just fate, but why does "fate" always seem to benefit them?


I send my best wishes out to the Johnson family that Tim has a COMPLETE & SPEEDY RECOVERY!

1. W need to have pictures and a complete investigation

if Johnson dies. Carnahan, Wellstone, Johnson, a bit much to believe it was coincidental. The GOP is moneyed corporatists.

2. Your tin-foil hat is on too tight.

Loosen it up a bit.

4. Carnihan, Wellstone, and now Johnson

Maybe the GOP thought the split was too wide in the House so they went after the Senate.

3. why indeed does every consequential political mortality *always*

favor the far right?

"Lone Nuts" who happen to have it in for liberal leaders.

Small plane crashes, election machine "glitches," convenient deaths -- all benefit, exclusively, the far right end of the political spectrum.

5. It's enough to make you think the GOP was involved n/t

[villager]

6. Isn't "Who Benefits?" one of the key questions

in unlocking any criminal investigation?

7. So, I'm not the only suspicious, borderline-paranoid Dem?

Let's not forget JFK; JFK,Jr.; MLK; October Surprise; Watergate; John Lennon; RFK; Hinckley, . . . . the list goes on & on.
Logic and statistical odds tell me these "coincidences" cannot be that random.

"Just because your paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!"

8. Carnahan, Wellstone and Johnson were pivotal political figures

With a moneyed GOP, yes, everything is possible.

9. I know how you feel

but do you think they'd be so stupid as to poison Senator Johnson at this time in history, what with the recent poisoning of the Russian spy getting so much press? I guess in light of everything they've done, we shouldn't put it past them.
