Byrd wants health bill renamed for Kennedy

(quote) "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.

What a crappy reason for passing that health care bill.

We can’t even get away from him when he’s dead.

Sheesh...

There are several reasons why this is stupid but Democrats seem intent on compounding their own misery and doubling down on it. Ted Kennedy is a highly polarizing figure. I personally see him as being no better than a war criminal for the way he led the charge to cut off funding which led to the fall of Vietnam and thousands interred in camps which set off a domino effect leaving millions to die a violent death in southeast asia. He dishonored the memory of his brothers, he has stood sentinel to the deaths of millions of babies, he has did more than any other Senator to single handily destroy the very things that make this country strong and unique.

If they want to name the horrid health bill after Kennedy it would indeed be fitting and it should die with the monster that he was. May God have mercy on his soul.

Didn’t he kill enough people while he lived? Now we want to credit him with killing more through Government limited health care, while he is dead?

zer0bamacare is the antithesis of the kind of excellent Health care that ‘The Swimmer’ received.

we need to push the pro zer0bamacare’s nose into this craptacular fact at every opportunity.

I refuse to say anything bad about Sen. Kennedy until the traditional Orthodox Christian 40-day mourning period is over. May his memory be eternal!

However, the same does NOT go for Pelosi and obama.

They must NOT be allowed to use Kennedy’s death, or any other excuse, to shut up the growing majority of Americans who realize that obama “health care” means draconian rationing of care for seniors, very young children, the mentally and physically challenged, and perhaps others. They must not use it as an excuse to stop the actions from now and at least through the month of September, in which Americans who are justifiably angry and scared about obama/Pelosi “health care” loudly and forcefully voice their informed (better informed than Congress) defense of their very lives, in defiance of obama’s ACORN thugs and union goons.

Pelosi/obama also intends to use Kennedy’s death to spur their drive for open borders! We all can see their evil plan for engineering the demography of America—replace the seniors and other “inconvenient” Americans with polyglot hordes of Third-World immigrants, who will owe their place in what used to be our country to what is becoming the North American National Socialist (formerly Democratic) Party!

Say NO to demographic engineering and social Darwinism!!! ON TO VICTORY!!!!

Health Care legislation has died with the Senator.
