All of a sudden the Dems are Religious

[KaGee]

Democratic Sen. Tim Johnson's condition has made believers out of all of them. Must have because they're all praying like crazy!

Harry Reid's head must be about to explode.

Not being fundamentalist evangelists is not the same as not being religious.

The were religious before........they just don't correlate it with their politics like republicans do.

Kinda sad that this guy is so ill and all anyone can think of is his politics.........and who takes his place if he can't continue his duty. (referring to the other thread).

Re: All of a sudden the Dems are Religious

With Democrats' grasp of the Senate relying on the thinnest of margins, ultimate control of the chamber hung on Johnson's health.

Should Johnson not be able to complete his term, which ends in 2008, South Dakota Gov. Mike Rounds, a Republican, would appoint his replacement, which could shift the balance of power in the Senate.

Democrats gained a 51-49 Senate majority after last month's election. A GOP appointee would result in a 50-50 split and allow the GOP to retain Senate control through Vice President **** Cheney's tie-breaking vote.

Senate Democrats, however, squashed the idea that Johnson's illness would result in Democrats losing control of the Senate, noting that many senators have had extended absences throughout history.

"We're not changing hands any time soon," a Senate Democratic leadership aide told CNN.

I want to know where Karl Rove was at the time, or Mary Matalin. Do they have alibis?

It does sound kind of shameful, but to be honest with ya, I really think it's how he'd want it...and was probably his first thought after remembering his identity. And I mean that apolitically.

btw, heard on the radio this morning, he won't necessarily resign; historically, members of congress have continued to "serve" for up to eight months of incapacity.

I also heard that his spokesperson said that he did not suffer a stroke. Stay tuned...

Re: All of a sudden the Dems are Religious

He has a congenital disorder of the blood vessels of the brain. It causes them to swell, tangle and weaken. In his case, one broke. He will most likely recover but the question is, will the rigors of the office trigger a reoccurance?

Re: All of a sudden the Dems are Religious

Adm. John Eisold, attending physician of the U.S. Capitol, said the senator had "an intracerebral bleed caused by a congenital arteriovenous malformation.

Well, that certainly clears that up.

Re: All of a sudden the Dems are Religious

He was born with the disease, and has now had successful surgery to fix the brain bleeding......

Re: All of a sudden the Dems are Religious

Democratic Sen. Tim Johnson of South Dakota is in critical condition after undergoing surgery to repair a brain hemorrhage.

In "critical condition after undergoing surgery" wouldn't be my definition of "successfull"

congenital: from the Spanish con meaning "with", and genital meaning "genital".

if he has another stroke, he'll be referred to as "2-stroke Johnson"

Every one says 4 strokes are better.

Are you trying to say he has an arteriovenous malformation of his genitals? I think you need to go back and read the link.

Is it still bleeding? You have to use the surgeon's definition of success, not the patient's, because of the two of them, the surgeon is the one who can still talk.
