Sen. Dick Durbin's daughter dies

[MrsSmith]

Losing a child at any age is the worst thing that can happen to the parents...and I'm sure there are many other family members and friends that are grieving. May God grant them peace in their hearts.

Warm thoughts and heartfelt condolences to the Durbin family over their loss.

Luckily for Durbin his seat is wrapped up and he wont have to do any campaigning over the next couple of days...

Terrible that this happened.

Is this really the time to be political?

Best wishes for the Durbin family, I hope they get through this. Losing a child has to be one of the most difficult situations ever.

40 is far too young. :(

His job shouldn't be put in jeopardy because his daughter died...

[PoliCon]

nope. You're right.


His job should be in jeopardy because he's a slime bag.

very classy.

Prayers, Senator.

[PoliCon]

very classy.

what because his daughter dies he should get re-elected? I feel for his loss - but I'd feel better if he had a different loss - a loss of power.

I appreciate that he won't have to worry about his seat...but I have a sense that his political position is of little consequence to him now.

Such a loss has to put everything else, including politics, into perspective.

There was a day when she was his little girl. And she always was and always will be.
Nothing else matters.

Thanks. Damn now I seem to have something in my eyes.

You gotta be careful projecting human feeling onto a leftist like this. YES we can hope that this is what he thinks and feels . . . . but with the left you can never be certain.
