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.

*sniff, sniff*

Ahhhhhhhhh. Smell that? It’s called ‘DESPERATION’. The Dims could open up a perfumery and sell the stuff by the buckets.

Tying this bloated albatros to Kennedy would be fitting.

The fact that Byrd thinks it would help sell the bill to the People shows what a bubble they live in.

I strongly suspect most of America despises the fat, corrupt, evil bastard.

I think Byrd added that in the alternative he would settle for two airports named for himself.

Certainly we should name a bridge in Chappaquiddick for the departed.

Let's call it Kopechne Care instead.

Maybe that would bring some sanity to the "debate" that is limited to Democrat voices.

Talk about tacky. This is like John Edwards trying to capitalize on his wife’s cancer.

No. We need to USE it as an example AGAINST state-run healthcare!

Kennedy KNEW better than to use ‘public’ health care himself!

THIS should be the rallying point for the conservatives.

Start by getting the fraud out of Medicare. Then fix the medical litigation problem. These two things will cut costs by 40%.

We need to strip Joe Manchin (democratic governor of West Virgina) of his power to appoint a replacement for Byrd before that old liberal dies too!

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.

Pelosi and Obortion must be so pleased at the timing of the Lord Kennedy’s death.

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