Just like the 2008 scampaign, it’s all about marketing, isn’t it?

Call, fax, email, hand write letters to your Rep and Senator scum to stop Obama’s DeathCare. Attend TownHall’s and raise hell.

www.faxzero.com allows you to send two free faxs a day.

Get the fax numbers for DC and local offices for your polls and send 2 a day and rotate.

There are few people for whom I would be happier to see pass than Teddy. Pelosi is one of them.

Awwwwww, hell. They’ll DO ANYTHING. Probably roll Ted’s corpse through the Senate when they get back into session just to ‘rally the troops’.

It was very selfless of Kennedy to die at the right time to help Obamadeathcare. I wonder if he had himself euthanized? I don’t want to speak ill of the dead and don’t rejoice in anyone’s death, but I can’t say I’ll mourn him.

He would not have lived as long if he had been on the Health Care piece of crap they want to force down our throats. Just because he died is no reason to pass a lousy bill.

Throw it out and start over.

What a joke to honor a murderer like Kennedy:
(quote from Byrd:) “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.

Another good reason for term limits.

WHY? Kennedy (and the rest of the Congressional elitists) don't have to suffer under the proposed ObamaCare poison pill!

Major barf alert. When JFK died, every goddamn boulevard, airport and meeting hall in NJ was re-named after him. Why don’t they re-name the Chappaquiddick bridge after him.

Do not change tactics.

Remain on message.

Do not give even a hint of legitimacy to the morbid circle jerk they are gonna hold over Teddy’s corpse.

If they so much as whisper teddy’s name in conjunction with the planned marxist takeover of our lives, they should be met with pure righteous outrage and ridicule.

Like Rahm Emmanuel said - never fail to take an advantage of every opportunity.

I figured that was why the Liar-in-Chief took his vacation up there.

He was anticipating Kennedy's demise (probably advised by “sweet” Caroline) and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to plug the health plan which would have killed The Swimmer long ago if HE was required to take it.

Its almost surreal - having to argue AGAINST the government STEALING the retirement benefits of people who worked for them, i.e. health plan benefits for seniors, while the President is arguing to EXTEND health benefits to illegal aliens who don't belong here in the first place.

What is going on in America today is the DIRECT RESULT of YEARS of neglect by the general voting population of the scandalous and growing abuses of a class of social parasites called Elected Officials,who act, and are treated like privileged royalty instead of public servants.

Rumors abound that Ted Kennedy faked his own death to get the 0bamaCare bill passed.

NO . . . NO . . . NO!

WHY? Kennedy did not have END OF LIFE COUNSELING and he chose to have the surgery instead of the blue pill. If 0-care is supposed to be good enough for us US Citizens, then Kennedy should have paved the way. He didn't. Which means that 0-care is not "good enough" for the elitist snobs who think they run DC. And if it's not good enough for THEM, why should we want it???

NO . . . NO . . . NO. No Health Care Bill Legacy for the Murderer of Chappaquiddick.

I do not think America is in the modd right now for the crassness that the Dems are going to pull out in the next 4-5 days. This stuff only works with the far left and I truly think this will backfire with most Americans.

Yes, by all means, lets pass legislation based on sheer emotion over careful deliberation.

That’s how the government got us into this mess to begin with.
