It's some of the saddest news a cancer survivor can receive: your cancer has returned. This sad news has reached Elizabeth Edwards, wife of Dem presidential hopeful John Edwards.
I'm confident I speak for ALL my readers in wishing Mrs. Edwards well as she battles the return of this dreaded disease. We also send our heartfelt best wishes to the Edwards' family. After all, cancer is a disease that afflicts the entire family.
Despite this tragedy and it's implications for his family, Senator Edwards vows that his campaign for president will continue. That's a family decision and certainly not something on which he should be criticized.
Political overtones in a story like this are unavoidable and there are some contrasts which are appropriate.
I recently read comments at Maries Two Cents where a reader asserted that there are"fringe"whackos in both parties. The problem as we illustrate with the post below on Code Pinkos is that Democrats invite them to the halls of congress and make sure they have a visible platform for their antics.
And readers may recall the story from February where hate filled lefties openlyl wished for the assassination of Vice President Cheney.
You'll be hard pressed to find any right winger making hate filled remarks about this sad news in the Edwards family. In fact, I'd be willing to bet you'd have an easier time going to one of these moonbat Democrat sites and find some loon accusing the Bush Administration of causing Mrs. Edwards cancer to return.
Just chalk this sad episode up to yet another example of the difference between the two political parties.
