US Rep Raul M. Grijalva (D-AZ) Diagnosed with Cancer
Prayers for recovery.
Quote:TUCSON, Ariz. – Today, U.S. Representative Raúl M. Grijalva (AZ-07) issued the following statement:
“A few weeks ago, I sought medical treatment for a persistent cough which was initially diagnosed as pneumonia. After further testing and imaging, my physician discovered that I have cancer.”
“This diagnosis has been difficult to process, but I am confident in the vigorous course of treatment that my medical team has developed, and I’ve begun my journey to fight this cancer.”
“My congressional office remains open and the many services we provide for our constituents continue uninterrupted. I am in regular communication with my staff and I continue to work as I undergo treatment. It is a privilege to serve as a Representative for the people of Arizona and I take this responsibility very seriously.”
“I am grateful to my family, friends and doctors for their support, and I am working hard to get healthy and return to business as usual as soon as I am able. I appreciate your consideration, well wishes and respect for my family’s privacy during this time. My heart goes out to others struggling with cancer, and I wish everyone strength in their fight.”

What exactly is the point of this thread? Where are the threads by Tom about all the other thousands of people diagnosed with cancer lately? What is special about this guy? A politician from Arizona that no one here has likely ever heard of? Including Tom. Seriously Tom, how low can you go in your never ending quest for bullchit? You are a sad, sad clown sir.

No, I'm not nice. Neither are you. Your entire life revolves around political bullchit. The only reason you posted this is because he's a politician with a D by his name. Where is all your caring for the rest of the population that has cancer?

It doesn't exist, because it isn't political.
Seek help. I've recently lost a SIL and several other close relatives and friends, and my step daughter is currently fighting breast cancer.

Just a few years ago I lost my Dad, my Stepmom, and my brother, all to cancer, all within 6 months of each other. You insult me with your BS about some unknown Democrat diagnosed with cancer. Make a post about your own people with cancer and I'll offer my condolences. That's not what you did. You posted your typical political bull just like always. The world is full of sad stories Sir, and your hypocrisy knows no bounds.

There's currently only 435 members of the house. And the majority party has a razor thin margin. It's an event that could have serious repercussions on upcoming legislation should he have to miss any votes.
Bottom line, as if I have to explain jack **** to a worthles poster like you, IT'S A NEWSWORTHY EVENT!
Furthermore, the topic of the thread is MORE than evident from the thread title. If you didn't give a ****, why are you here and posting?
You don't need to continually prove your worthlessness around here. It was never in doubt.

GFY!
Hate to hear about anyone battling that terrible disease. Prayers for Rep. Grijalva. Praying for your daughter as well. My daughter beat breast cancer I’m sure yours will too.

Threads like this are why I have the fool on ignore. He is desperate for relevancy and tries to create it with BS threads like this one, which are only relevant to that person's family, friends, and constituents. That he uses it as political hay is indicative of his complete lack of character. I don't allow his toxic mentality to invade my space.
He cares nothing for the person who has cancer; he only cares that he be perceived as sympathetic to the cancer victim, while he only uses him to make a point, one not clear to anyone but himself.
As you said, where are his other posts announcing cancer or other illnesses or injuries to random strangers or figures whose celebrity only extends to a small footprint?
Edit: Not to be insensitive to anyone, but we have almost all lost someone to that disease. I don't react hysterically when someone says something about cancer that upsets me. That's primarily because there's nothing that can be said to upset me about it. It's a disease that causes death and hardship. We live in a world that presents us with those challenges in myriad numbers of ways, and at 67, after losing people to it myself, I've simply become desensitized to it, accepting that something, sometime, is going to get us all. It's all part of the cycle of life we must all go through. Some of us escape these deadly diseases and illnesses, and some of us don't.

This was only posted to fish for “oh good, let the democrat die” responses so Tom could assume a moral high ground. Trying to use a person’s tragic life circumstances for gain, a liberal trait for sure.
