Senator Harry Reid had a mild stroke
Just announced on Countdown. They said he's ok and will probably need some rest. Hold on Harry!

1. Hang in there, Senator.
We should send him flowers or a get well card somehow.

8. No yelling here, just keep that head on straight for the fight.
They are called "coincidences" and they occur all the time.

It's easy to get caught up in that type of thinking. Keep your eyes on the prize and don't be distracted. :hi:

11. Things happen in three's...
I don't know how true that is but it seems to work out more often than not. It's also good to be always on the alert with the Cabal running amok but don't let your alertness slip into paranoia. And remember, you're also not the only one watching these lunatics and wondering, "what if". If there were any funny business going on, I'm positive someone will catch it.

15. thank you
I never know what to think anymore. There is so much and it boggles the mind. The way things are today... just don't know. Its frustrating and scary all at the same time.

thanks all for calming me down..

prayers for Cindy's mom, Sen. Reid and Mrs. King...

7. I believe Senator Reid will be just fine.
I think he has the heart of a lion and this slight setback won't deter him at all. He's a real fighter.

Sending good thoughts and kind wishes to my third favorite Senator, after Illinois two great ones.

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

9. He's a fighter. I'm sending him positive energy anyway.
I've come to be pretty fond our soft-spoken Minority leader. He reminds me of Teddy Roosevelt. He speaks softly but isn't afraid of anything or anybody!

23. All good wishes to Harry Reid...but he is not soft-spoken...
that's what makes him so great. He is feisty and outspoken. May that get him through this set-back, and get him back speaking for all of us in government...he was a sleeper who was a wonderful surprise.

Hang in there, Harry...and please come back soon - we need you.

14. It is easy to see that he is a very passionate person...
the shit going on these days is probably taking an immense toll on him. I can't imagine junior getting sick over any of this. He just ignores it all and gets on with his life. Blech.

Get well very soon Senator. We need your passion.
