Are they going to try to imitate the Gipper’s funeral procession? They might just get a few surprises (for liberals) on their way across the nation.

He certainly has a lot of nerve interrupting the President’s vacation like this.......

My feelings about the passing of Ted Kennedy. He was all of the aforementioned things, a whoremonger, immoral, etc. His daddy, Joseph taught all the Kennedy boys well. Here in the South Ted helped elect a lot of good representatives. All you had to mention was that your opponent was a friend of Ted’s and you got elected in a landslide! I do wish his soul well and hope he made amends with his Creator for supporting the deaths of over 50,000,000 unborn children.

How ironic is it the the death of the man who lived to take over the healthcare industry, has killed their best chance of doing just that.

>> in a couple of years I may have the chance to “anoint” him

I’ll bet they are prepared for his fans’ “anointing” — watch out for an electrified gravetop. ;-)

May he rot in hell.

Please all..let's not play God and send people to hell. If it wasn't for Jesus Christ paying for all our sins hell would be the destiny for all of us. Disagree with the man yes, but leave the sending to hell to the Almighty!

Oh contrare, tioga. The swimmer under no condition earned nor deserves RIP. RIH teddy. The old Ken Hamblin program “toilet flush” sound is appropriate for this fine occassion!

Nothing like getting up to a beautiful sunny morning and hear the best news in 2009. Looks like ol teddy cheated the dems out of the 60 votes by going to meet his maker before the MA crooks could cook the books on his replacement.

In a few months, with the help of ACORN, he’ll be up and voting again.

The one good thing I could say about The Swimmer, is that he torpedoed Jimmy Carter’s reelection bid. So in a way, thanks to Ted, we got 8 years of Reagan.

I really had to reach there to find something.

Many years ago, my grandfather was accosted at a rural post office by a local woman and FDR fan. This was in April 1945 and news just reached them about FDR's passing in Warm Springs, Georgia.

At the time, my grandparents had only my aunt at home, then 12 years old. Father was serving in the Pacific, his brother was serving in Germany, another brother had died on the battlefield just the year before and my other aunt was a clerk for the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. In other words, everyone in the family who was old enough to serve was doing so. Grandpa and grandma were both in their 50's. Both had enthusiastically worked for FDR's first election in 1932 and both had grown so deeply disillusioned that they had voted Republican for the first time the year before.

This woman grabbed Grandpa's arm and wailed "Oh, Grant, wouldn't you say FDR died for our country just like our boys in uniform did?"

Grandpa looked at her and said "Yeah, but he should have done it 12 years ago!"

Anybody want to take bets on whether the Senator’s debts (medical bills, transportation costs, etc.) will be paid by his estate?

His family and children hold the same vile views, and are just as corrupt and behave just as badly, as him. They ought to rename their clan the Augustians. Neither Jack the cold warrior tax cutter, nor Robert, the McCarthyite, would recognize any of them today.

so at least he was able to escape the rationing and get good care before dying.

According to the press he was getting exceptional treatment - radiation, chemo and an operation - much more health treatment than he was trying to give to the masses. If he would have taken the gov’t healthcare approach, he would have been sent home with pain meds - he’s over 65 don’t ya know!
