Daschle Blasts GOP For Running Against Ailing Sen.
Former Democratic Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle is lashing out against Republicans from the state he once lived in for beginning efforts to run a candidate against ailing Sen. Tim Johnson. Johnson has been incapacitated since last December after suffering a devastating brain hemorrhage.
Daschle called Republicans plans to field a candidate and mount a campaign for the November 2008 "sad" and "desperate." National Republican Senatorial Committee spokesperson Rebecca Fisher responded, “It’s acceptable for Democrats to fundraise for Sen. Johnson but it’s over the line for Republicans to say the seat is a focus? Sounds like the very definition of hypocritical to me.”
What is even more hypocritical is how concerned Senate Democrats are about their brain-damaged colleague so soon after condemning Terry Schiavo to death by starvation and thirst. Perhaps if Terry Schiavo sat in the seat that gave Democrats control of the Senate she'd be alive today and running for re-election!
On a personal note, I have prayed and continue to petition God for Sen. Johnson's recovery. He is a decent man and I wish him a speedy return to good health.
