Byrd wants health bill renamed for Kennedy

(quote) "In his honor and as a tribute to his commitment to his ideals, let us stop the shouting and name calling and have a civilized debate on health care reform which I hope, when legislation has been signed into law, will bear his name for his commitment to insuring the health of every American," Byrd said.

Dem’s don’t even allow the body to get cold before they want political advantage.

Pelosi was faster off the mark in calling for this than I expected. She did it while the body was still warm.

That didn’t take long.

Can only hope that the health care bill dies as well.

Oh what a huge surprise that the libs would use his death to urge passing of this anti-American bill. I’m shocked, just shocked!

arrgh! I’m stuck at the airport and all the TV’s are on CNN. You can’t believe how many times CNN has talked about how important passing this health bill was to Kennedy. Do airports in red-states play FoxNews, are is it CNN everywhere?

Yeah, I was pretty impressed, too. Of course, we all knew it was coming.

But what makes them think Kennedy was popular with anybody except the brain-dead voters of MA and the DC political circuit? That’s not enough to get them very far.

MSNBC question of the day. Is his departing generating enough wind to get the sunken Public plan health reform sailing again.

Pelosi says ‘YES’. But she is NUTS God bless her (since she will be the end of Obama.)
