The five-term Republican said in a statement released by his office Tuesday that he was diagnosed with an early recurrence of Hodgkin's disease, which is a cancer of the lymph system.

This is terrible. He has my best wishes.

[Valerie]

Oh no. He was looking so good lately, too. I hope he's able to fight this as well as he fought the last round.

[DeclinetoState]

As much as I disagree with much of the man's politics, I hope that his last few months (and I'm afraid the odds aren't good on him surviving this) are as comfortable as possible.

Alice Roosevelt Longworth: "If you have nothing good to say about anyone, come sit by me."

I wish Arlen Specter a peaceful, painless end, if that's what it's coming to.

Past that, I have nothing good to say about the man, so all y'all who feel the same can come sit by me.

[EveningStar]

I didn't care for a lot of his stances but he was instrumental in getting Clarence Thomas confirmed to the SCOTUS.

[MSGT]

That's me sitting down BTW. I wish the man no harm and hope he has found Jesus before he passes. Having said that, I can't think of any good he did for the country. Maybe someone who knows him better can point out some.

[Lubbock]

I've disliked him since the day he got Ira Einhorn released OR, after killing Holley Maddux and stuffing her body in a trunk.

Never forget, Arlen Specter was the one and only reason that Einhorn was able to stay on the run from Justice for 20+ years.

As far as I'm concerned, it was downhill for Specter from that day to this.

I don't like him.

For nearly eight years, he's stabbed GWB in the back and kissed Lib Ass at every turn.

Funny, I always thought he was Jewish...

[EveningStar]

Funny, I always thought he was Jewish...
He is.

[MSGT]

Funny, I always thought he was Jewish...And.....

[EveningStar]

And.....
Do you still hope he finds Jesus?

[MSGT]

Do you still hope he finds Jesus?ever heard of a Messianic Jew?

[EveningStar]

ever heard of a Messianic Jew?
Like our own Prez? Sure.

[Timberwolf]

"NO ONE comes to the Father, but by me..."

YES, I hope he finds Christ before he draws his last breath...other than that, I'm with Lubbock on this one.

[DesertFox]

I'm pullin' up a chair alongside Lub. I can't think of a single good thing to say about Arlen, the Specter of Communism.

[cerberus]

I hope he recovers. i like the man a lot. He's a Senator of principle, one of the last, and he believes in the law and that goes a long way with me.

He helped get Clarence Thomas confirmed.

[Lubbock]

We heard you the first time you said it.

[EveningStar]

We heard you the first time you said it.
Just making sure. :D

[DeclinetoState]

Cerberus likes him, which is all I need to know.

[DesertFox]

One thing got Clarence Thomas confirmed, and that was Clarence Thomas.

[Valerie]

ever heard of a Messianic Jew?



I suppose anything is possible. I doubt a 78 year-old prominent Jewish figure in politics would change his faith at this point, though.
