As the New Democrat Left and their propagandists in the Pravda Media try to establish Obamacare as “Kennedy’s lasting legacy”, recall too that “Animal Farm” began with the death of Old Major

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Farm

Old Major
A prize Middle White boar is the inspiration that fuels the Rebellion in the book. He is 12 years old. According to one interpretation, he could be based upon both Karl Marx, founder of modern Marxism and the base for Communism, (in that he describes the ideal society the animals could create if the humans are overthrown) and Vladimir Lenin (in that his skull is put on revered public display, as was Lenin’s embalmed corpse). However, according to Christopher Hitchens: “the persons of Lenin and Trotsky are combined into one [i.e., Snowball], or, it might even be [...] to say, there is no Lenin at all.”

Rename it KennedyCare?

Sure. Right after changing the word "turd" to Ted.

Cause it's as big a crock as he was.

“Nice try..................Go F yourself D C !!”

Just shows how out of touch they are. The Kennedy name is definitely NOT as venerated as it was back in the days of JFK!

Camelot was a myth cooked up by Jackie O. when JFK died. The press and historians ran with it.

Camelot was a musical that Jack liked.

Republicans should petition that it be called the Mary Joe Kopechne Health Care Bill instead.

The Democrats reach a new level in cynicism. As though if they call the bill something like the “Edward M. Kennedy Memorial Health Care Reform Act of 2009” ObamaCare will look any better to the People.

And... would Senator Kennedy have received all the medical care he had received under House Democrat proposed health-care? I think it’s a leap to think that single-payer health insurance would have afforded Kennedy the quality and timeliness of the healthcare he received.
