Picture the scene: a dignified Ted Kennedy stands beside President Barack Obama on a brisk, late winter day in the Rose Garden.
Mr. Obama laments the events that caused him to withdraw the nomination of his anointed healthcare-reform czar, former Senate majority leader Tom Daschle, as Health and Human Services Secretary. Reaching back to the lofty rhetoric of his campaign, he implores his audience to look past his own lapse in judgment and seize the opportunity to implement sweeping national reform that puts health insurance within reach for the millions already uninsured – and the millions more whose coverage is jeopardized by the nation's economic crisis.
Then Senator Kennedy ambles to the microphone. He thanks Obama for his attention to what has been a more than 40-year personal crusade. He reemphasizes that now is the time to rise above partisan politics and address this central policy issue of our time.
"I've seen such an approach work," Kennedy declares, "in my own home state, where in just two years we've seen 500,000 people who were uninsured gain access to quality healthcare as a result of an agreement among Republicans, Democrats, hospitals, insurers, and the voters. They came together because they understood this issue was too important to remain bogged down in politics any longer. Now I am here to introduce my partner in that process; a man whose life experience spans the heights of the public, private and nonprofit sectors; a man whose commitment to the goal of seeing every American receive quality, affordable healthcare is every bit as strong as my own; the man who I believe can work with the president, the Congress and the entire healthcare system to reach this goal; my friend, my former governor, Mitt Romney."

All three suck, actually.
My omission of Rootie was purely an oversight.
THEY’RE EVERY WHERE, THEY DON’T KNOW THEY’RE TAX CHEATS, THEY ARE ELITISTS ABOVE THE LAW.
“I would reverse the order. He is marginally worse than McCain and I worked harder to defeat him and Giuliani than McCain in the primaries. “
Thank you. That’s why we have BHO.
No it is not.
We have BHO because the republicans ran a liberal at all. Not because of which Liberal they ran.
I would have voted for Allan Keyes anyway - had the pubbies ran Mitt or Rootie, and I know quite a few people who didn’t vote at all, given the two major candidates.
Thank you for playing.
Next contestant.
“Thank you for playing.
Next contestant.”
Spoken like BHO.
No, you see, a big component of the reason that we have BHO is that pseudo-cons actively destroyed the conservative with the best chance of winning the presidency: Rudy Giuliani.
Mitt will never do this. He has embraced Conservatism and needs to kick back and wait for 2012. He should take on some new challenge like saving some newspaper or some Hollywood Studio.
What seat would that be?
One should examine what Socialist Bishop Romney DID, not what he then said or claimed.

Whatcha think ????
Troll? You’re lashing out—you should have that checked. I’ve been here 4 years longer than you have. I’m a proud conservative, just like Rudy Giuliani. Thanks again for BHO, BTW.
Perfect choice. No one is a big expert on implementing Socialist health “care” than Slick Willard.
You can be here as many years as you like and still be a flaming liberal, evidently.
You were being sarcastic here, weren't you ?
Thank you for BHO.
Nope.
Aside from reducing the crime rate, there is almost nothing Rudy is a “Conservative” on.
