Paul Wellstone

[Armstead]

God I miss that guy.

I wonder what he be saying about all this bullshit if he were around.

[canuck eh]

1. I would think the policies that Wellstone espouses are identical to Bernie

and would be the first to endorse him. Loved his spirit.

2. didn't Wellstone vote for DOMA ?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. A vote he came to deeply regret...

That being said, human beings and politicians are complex and not above making moves that are the result of self serving calculations. They aren't cardboard saints.

8. Patriot Act, too

Nobody's perfect

4. I sobbed for a week when he died.

His book "The Conscience of a Liberal" was very moving and inspiring.

His death was a terrible loss. I still remember watching Harry Reid crying on CNN.

[Armstead]

5. I must admit that was tge first time I chocked up about a public figure

Sure I felt sad when good ones have gone. But that was the first tine I got that kind of welling up you feel when someone in you own family goes.

6. Damn-

What a tragic loss, Paul Wellstone was totally in line with Bernie, What a combination those two would have made, Always remembered the Wellstones as true patriots.

7. Sorry but the DOMA yes voters are not my kind of human beings.

I'd just like to say that any politician who votes that Armstead should not have equal rights will never hear a word of praise from me. Thanks.
