Excuse me, wouldn't Teddy K already be dead if the policies he sought were actually implemented?

Then how the hell can he be the poster child for this?

Oh, yes, by all means....because the "Liberal Lion" is ill (and believe me, I wish illness on no one) let us, in his honor, screw up the health care system for the entire country.

I love "The BATTLE for Healthcare Reform", like this is a crusade against the evil Republicans who want everyone to just go and die.

The other night, I watched HBO's documentary "Teddy: In His Own Words." In a speech on healthcare around '74, he said [paraphrased] "if any knows about death and losing a loved one, it's the Kennedys."

I thought to myself, yeah, there's another family who also knows about death that you'll never mention...

“Senator Edward Kennedy is the missing man in the battle for health care reform. On Capitol Hill, nearly everyone agrees things would be different if the lyin' liberal were here.”

Fixed it.

“Senator Edward Kennedy is the missing man in the battle for health
care reform. On Capitol Hill, nearly everyone agrees things would be
different if the liberal lion were here.”

True, a bunch of implications, if not direct statements of "do you know who I am?" and "I'm a Kennedy, dammit!"

Yea, would be alot different for sure.

Listening to Bill Bennett's show this morning I believe it was during a news segment on Ted Kennedy I had to listen to Republican Orrin Hatch (!!!) say that "If Teddy were up to his full capacity, this Health Care Bill would be sailing through." 

We don't need to hear that! If that Senate good old boy system destroys our healthcare for "Teddy" 'cause he's such a "great guy" every Republican voting for it should be horsewhipped, then thrown out of office.

 (Hey, I didn't have to listen to the radio - I just had to fully read the transcript above.  There it is!)

DAN HARRIS: In Washington today a key Democrat conceded that they will need Republican help to push President Obama's health care overhaul plan through the United States Senate.

  Yeah they need Republicans because they know if this healthcare mess is enacted the democrats are going to need some political cover by saying it was a bi-partison bill. Basically it boils down to if the country likes the reform the credit will go to obama and the democrats.  If it's a dud then it is a bi-partison effort.  Consider the No Child Left Behind Act, when it was enacted it was a bi-partison bill co-sponsored by Ted Kennedy but after it was demonized only George Bush was left as it's proponent.

It's not necessarily true that under Obamacare, Teddy would be dead. The criteria that the democratics are putting together that will drive rationing includes their notions of 'community value'. That means that besides age, one of the considerations in deciding what is available to a patient will be their position in the community, what they do for a living, whether they are a burden on the community or a benefit. If someone is already being cared for, like an autistic child, or a senior with Alzheimers, they would be cut off. And who is of more value to the community than a democratic Senior Senator?

All these principles are described in books written by those that are advising the democratics on healthcare rationing, including Tom Daschle's book.

And Mary Jo Kopeckne would still be alive if Teddy wasn't there.  If he would have died or gone to jail, thiscountry would have been better off, but like all good liberals, he lied and his daddy's money bought his way out of taking responsibility for his actions.

                      Kennedy is a murderer.

 Net time he has a seizure give him an asprin and tell him it's time to got to hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

I'm perfectly comfortable tying Ted Kennedy into the "health" "care" bill.  After all, his life is the perfect embodiment of what the Democrat plan is...driving our healthcare system into the lake and leaving our health locked in the car at the bottom of that lake while he swims his health to the safety of a private system provided by those of us he's left for dead...all with the media acting as Joe Gargan to spin that he's done it for our benefit.

That stupid SOB would still be waiting for surgery for his brain tumor. 

Kennedy saw the top neurosurgeon at Duke.  I think he got in, and had his surgery all in the span of 1-2 weeks. 

It takes the average patient 6 months to see this doctor.

One set of rules for them, one set of rules for the rest of us.

Counting down the days till Kennedy kicks the bucket.

Despite the hissy fit libs had when Rush Limbaugh talked about it, looks like he was right again.
