Best wishes, Senator Johnson

Senator Tim Johnson is in critical condition as I write this. He had a hemorrhage in his brain and had to be given emergency brain surgery.

The news has been filled with vultures all saying the same thing: "Control of the Senate is at stake!" With all due respect, is that really as important as the man's life and health?

I vote Republican. I'm a Christian, and a conservative, and I think it would be a very good thing if the Senate were not in Democrat hands. But this is not the way I want it to happen. Not by taking advantage of a man's illness.

So get well, Senator Johnson. Your wife and family need you. Let's just hope your party doesn't do too much damage while they're in charge the next two years.
