This is tragic....his wife and daughter also perished. God bless them. |

I wasn't a fan, but neither he nor his family deserve that fate. Horrible... With the bait-and-switch in NJ (where I'm from originally) and now this, it looks like this year's Senate race is going to be as bizarre as last year's (with the Carnahan deal and, later, the Jeffords switcheroo). |

Don't worry, his baby sitter will step in and win the sympathy vote.
Sad for him though.
The Communist Party has plenty of relief pitchers available, too.

Looks like the Dems lost the majority for 10 days.
What a lousy way to lose
Can't they strap the two shooters on a drone, fly them
over Iraq instead? |

A terrible loss. He was one of the very best. |

I agree, Wellstone was a class act. It's a tragedy.
The Dems will hold on to the Senate, only because the "other party" has so many classless morons like some of those who posted above. |

Liberalism is a mental disease and Sen.Welfare was infected...but, it's all over now!!.... |

pardon me. it's difficult for me to adjust to be being on a stones board that seems to be predominatly republican right wingers, with a few nazis thrown in. very odd. |

Say what you want about Wellstone's politics, but he was one of the few honest people in Washington. I don't care whether you're conservative, liberal or moderate - anytime someone like that is lost, the system gets a little worse. Just makes it even worse that he met a fate like this.
If Washington was filled with people who had as much class as Wellstone, regardless of their political affiliation, we'd be a lot better off. |

If you want a Rolling Stones forum with a message board dedicated to politics, there's one, guess where? AT THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE!!!!! http://www.rollingstones.com
Any time someone starts a thread about something related with politics it always goes wrong. Please avoid it, THANKS IN ADVANCE. |

well i don't know if it's predominantly that way - it's just that those of that persuasion are perhaps just a little more vocal about it
for me it's not so much what a person's political/philosophical views are, the question is why they hold the views that they do and how did they reach them
for myself, i'm far more tolerant of those with different views to mine if i can see the rhyme and reason behind their position than i am of those who might hold the same views as me but for completely different (and in my view) wrongheaded reasons arrived at through woolly thinking
i think it's a common misconception that to be a stones fan one must be of a "liberal" persuasion
certainly, rock and roll in general and the stones in particular have presented an antiauthoritarian attitude and good examples of the music always carry that overtone but for mine the real purpose of the stuff is that it is the heavy artillery in the war against boredom, drabness and all things ordinary
one of the keystones of the stones" greatness (imo)is that the world view that generally comes across in their music is essentially amoral (not immoral) and apolitical -
as they say "every cop is a criminal and all the sinners saints"

You know, politics is a temporary, fluid, thing. Power swings from party to party. It isn't static. A party can lose power, yet make a comeback.
Death is ultimate, and forever. There is no comeback.
The sniper deserves to die. Sen. Wellstone & his family did not deserve to die, regardless of what you think of his politics.
There is such a thing as priorities. Some people here need to get a handle on those. |

Many people died yesterday, they just weren't politicians. If Welfare joins the Founding Fathers in spirit, he needs to prepare himself for one hell of an interogation. |

No shit SF, did more than just the Wellstones die yesterday? I never woulda guessed that.
Well, I've had close family die. I know what it is like. I have sympathy for ALL the families that lost a loved one yesterday. But those people were not being discussed in this thread. This thread was about Sen. Wellstone and his family were the subject of the thread. That is why I only spoke of them.
I happen to feel that if people can't put aside political philosophy for a minute to recognize what a terrible thing this was...not politically, but humanly...then those people are pretty pathetic.
Politics is NOT more important than lives. Period. |

As a matter of fact, I do!
People become politicians because they don't want to work for a living. |
