Sen. Frank Lautenberg died this morning of viral pneumonia at age 89, his office said

[ArrogantBustard]

The late unlamented Lautenberg was a socialist, abortionist, and gun-control freak. He was first elected to the Senate in 1982, and spent only two years not in the Senate from that time until his death.

He was, in very many ways, part of the problem, much like Ted Kennedy and Bobby Byrd.

Shoot him again just to be sure!

My comment on the death of Lautenberg follows:

[Borges]

This has to be the first time we have no Senator over 80 for a long time.

[Gay State Conservative]

The “ADA” (a filthy Communist organization that “rates” members of Congress) rated him,in 2011,at 90%...100% being a perfect Communist by their reckoning.Dirty Harry got a rating of 95% from them for that same year.I say let the worms gag on that piece of filth.

Lautenberg:

"The Tea Party Republicans in Washington claim they’re concerned about the budget balance, but it’s a disguise! It’s not true! It’s a lie! That’s not what they want. They want — they want other people not to be able to have their own opinions. They don’t deserve the freedoms that are in the Constitution! But we’ll give them to them anyway."

what is the over/under that Christie appoints a democrat?

[Gay State Conservative]

This has to be the first time we have no Senator over 80 for a long time.

But there's still no shortage of Commies.Governor Krispy Kreme,no doubt,will see to that.

The appointment is only until Nov. Then an election will be held to.fill the seat until.2014 when the seat is up for the regular rotation. Christie will do one of two things. He will appoint Booker because they are allies in areas like education and cracking down on the NJEA. Or he will appoint a potential Dem rival to Booker to create turmoil among the NJ.Dems. he will not appoint a Repub.IMHO

[editor-surveyor]

One of the most hateful bastards to ever hold public office.

[C210N]

illegally“Torched”

Of course, now you repeat yourself

[COUNTrecount]

He had cancer ,so I doubt that his death was peaceful.

[bkopto]

You can bet that RINO Christie won’t appoint a conservative and there is better than even chance he won’t even appoint Republican.

Are there ANY conservatives in NJ ??? All NJers I know are sheeplest of the sheeple.

[Jed Eckert]

Good riddance.

He’ll get it, in a place designed for his kind.

[Oratam]

Out of the depths I cry to You, O Lord; Lord, hear my voice.
Let Your ears be attentive to my voice in supplication.
If You, O Lord, mark iniquities, Lord, who can stand?
But with You is forgiveness, that You may be revered.
I trust in the Lord; my soul trusts in His word.
My soul waits for the Lord more than sentinels wait for the dawn.
More than sentinels wait for the dawn, let Israel wait for the Lord,
For with the Lord is kindness and with Him is plenteous redemption;
And He will redeem Israel from all their iniquities.

[majormaturity]

The guy was a leftist rat who voted to strip citizens of their rights - a rabid gun control advocate who was very wealthy and could afford armed bodyguards - won’t miss him at all.

[demkicker]

So.... how long will he stay in office, and continue to vote ?

LOL, good one!

“And not a moment too soon. That worthless SOB was one of the key players in the ongoing destruction of our fundamental rights.”

Ditto for me. No tears shed hear.
