Yes, he's a Democrat, the Party which has a monopoly of compassion. Just ask them.
ZitatOhio's former Democrat governor and current U.S. Senate candidate Ted Strickland joked about the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia at a fundraiser on Monday, according to audio released on YouTube.
"I mean, the death of Scalia saved labor from a terrible decision," the candidate declared. He elicited laughter with the next comment: "And I don't wish anyone ill [laughs], but it happened at a good time. Because once that decision had been made, it would have been tough to reverse it."
In late March, the court broke 4-4 in Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association, a case involving whether or not teachers would have to pay dues to a union they did not choose to join. Lower courts favored the union, and the Supreme Court's division allowed the lower decision to stand. Strickland was referring to this decision, which did not set a precedent but showed the new liberal bent on the court.
This same guy is being roundly criticized for taking oodles of special interest money to finance his campaign despite the fact that in an earlier incarnation he was dead set against such a practice. Let us hope he gets elected to the senate this go round. We definitely need yet another amoral, insensitive creep in that body.

And that's why it was so frustrating when the family refused an autopsy...
******* "Maybe God is trying to tell us something important- that now is not the time for a “nice Christian guy” or a “gentleman” or a typical Republican powder puff. Maybe now is the time for a natural born killer, a ruthless fighter, a warrior. Because right about now we need a miracle, or America is finished. Maybe the rules of gentleman don’t apply here. Maybe a gentleman and “all-around nice Christian” would lead us to slaughter." Wayne Allyn Root
