Senator Kennedy had the best health care in the world...
And it wasn’t government run...
And IT DIDN’T SAVE HIM!
Had he been on government health care, he would have died last year shortly after he collapsed.

"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. Was there any Byrd comment on the talk of using reconciliation to pass the federal health care takeover in direct violation of the rules to the reconciliation process (via amendment) bearing his name? I know, silly question.

It’s still the same old rubbish it was before Kennedy died.
Do these people realize how absurd they look, taking blatant political advantage out of somebody’s death?

We can’t allow “ram me where the sun doesn’t shine” emmanuel to use this opportunity to slow down the peoples angst on EgoIhatewhitesObamaCare. We need to continue the phone calls to our reps and bang this drum until it is dead.

I was at a candidate announcement for Lt Governor and then talked to someone who is in the know who said that Byrd is in really bad shape and would not know what to do or say. This is done by the RATs to pass healthcare. Robert Byrd is against the Obamacare and now they have him wanting to name it for Kennedy? Give me a break!
