As he said:

"Peace is better than war because life is better than death."

May he rest in peace.

1. Very sad.

2. Great orator.

The man could speak (for the left) like no other. Career politician who turned down the Dem nomination & clear shot for the White House, then later turned down a spot on the Supreme Court. Lived to a ripe old age, & saw his son take his old job as Governor of New York. Quite a life.

4. I only wish...

He had raised his own son to be more Progressive.

5. Andrew made his own choices....

...if only he would rediscover his roots and change his ways..

6. Horrible.

One of the reasons I'm a Democrat. Unfortunately his kind of Democrat is rarer and rarer in today's party, including his own son.
