Senator Kennedy has Malignant Brain Tumor

I disagree vehemently with the senator's politics. I wish him a speedy recovery and a long life. My prayers are with him and his family.

I am going to forebear saying or writing anything nasty about Ted, and I hope no one else will either. I say this because of the left's vitriolic statements in the past about the President and Vice President to just name a couple. We are better than that.

Let the right give sensitivity, when none will be returned by the left.

Too bad.

Politics aside, he and his family will be in our prayers.

Though he's not my style of person or politician, I hope and pray he wins this battle!

While I am no fan of the senator, I am grieved by this news. This goes way beyond politics. My prayers are for him and his family.

Having lost two of my husband's family to malignant tumors in less than two years, I grieve for his family and what they will go through now. I will pray for them all.

The best I can muster is a no comment.

We wish Sen. Kennedy a swift and complete recovery. Let our battles against his leftist, socialist policies continue afterwards, with candor, intelligence, and good will.

The doctors have indicated that such tumors are known to incline the patient toward an homogeneously socialistic voting record.

Everybody should have hope and redemption. My prayers are for Senator Kennedy that he faces his challenges with grace and dignity.

As far as his health and survival I wish him the best but I hope his time in the Senate is over. In my opinion he and his allies in Congress have done terrible damage to this society and culture. His attempt to give this country to a foreign nation(Mexico)in defiance of the wishes of most of the tax paying citizens and those that have fought and died to maintain our sovereignty is unforgivable

Hear, hear. I detest his policies a great deal, but I wish no harm on the man himself; hope he makes out okay.

If you were fighting a war and the opposing General came down with a brain tumor would you wish him a speedy recovery? What if that General had been kicking your butt up and down the lines for year after year?

Death is part of life but wishing a man well who would walk over all your rights in a heartbeat is a little too kind for me. Nice that you can do it, but I'd rather spend my sympathy points where it counts.

My farther had the same recently, a month ago, and died at the age of 73. He thought very highly of Ted Kennedy. He Also liked B.H. Obama and would have voted for him. I know how his family feels. I saw the plug for the 5 year long survival rate. My Farther's was 5 months. He went fast. My farther spent 70 years running around doing most of wanted to do. I also remember how the past few years he gave my two sisters $%^&* taking care of him. The people that have had family members with the same condition know what I am talking about. My farther was 30 years Teamsters Union Retired. He was not much of a reader and hated all Republicans. Especially President Bush and all of us who voted for him 2 times or more. But he loved the Kennedys and Oboma. G-D Bless Ted Kennedy.

These comments should stand as a testament as to the generally better character of those on the Right.
When Jerry Falwell passed, when Charlton Heston passed, and even when REAGAN passed, you could find nothing like what you read here on the popular web sites of the Left. Just raw, unadulterated hatred.

Despite political differences with Senator Kennedy, I pray for his speedy recovery and wish him and his family the best

While everyone wishes Teddy and family warm thoughts and a speedy recovery, keep this in mind:
This is the same man that left a young woman to drown, while he went to save himself and his precious career.
I hope that the soul of Mary Jo is among the first that gets to greet Ted on his way to the hereafter.

We should all pray for Senator Kennedy, though we loathe much of what he stands for. Hatred of liberal policies is one thing, but we should not hate people.

I must agree that this man has done immense damage to this country and will continue to do so if he remains in the Senate. My hope is that he will resign. Other than that, I can muster no sympathy or compassion for him. For that, I am sorry.

I have no comment. I have sympathy for the ordinary families who have lost loved ones to cancer.

This man is a murderer. Why do you wish him well?

I'll bet Ted Kennedy is glad he's not a patient of his own National Health Care System. He might have to go to another country to be treated because the resources aren't available, according to the bean counters. Why waste assets on an old man? But of course people like the Kennedy's will always have the best doctors and medical care because they can afford it. The rest of us will be forced to use the federal system and pay for it. Sorry to bring politics into this thread, but after all he is a politician, and for far too long! Being a Congressman or Senator was doing one's service to the country, but too many politicians are making 40+ year careers out of it.
