Honor Ted Kennedy by naming the health care bill after him.

[Bladeforger]

How about Chappaquiddick Health Care?

Two things:
1. We should all be careful NOT to use the word "reform", ever, when discussing the bill... reform implies improvement.

2. We could begin referring to it as the Chappaquiddick Health Care Bill.

I can even think of some good mottos / t-shirt / poster material:
Chappaquiddick Health Program: Satisfaction guaranteed or your tax goes up.
Chappaquiddick Health Program: You won't be under water for long...
Chappaquiddick Health Program: Satisfaction guaranteed or your beer money back.
Chappaquiddick Health Program: It's killer-diller.

If anyone detects any possible note of disrespect toward former Senator Ted Kennedy, recently deceased, ... ... GOOD!  One of the worst enemies of freedom has died.  He was a slug when he was alive and the only bad part of him being dead is that he's going to be at Arlington National Cemetery among heroes--heroes whose shoes Ted Kennedy was never good enough to lick. 

As he is eulegized and praised over the coming week, remind everyone about Chappaquiddick.  Ready Teddy left that gal alive in the car, and made sure she'd be dead by waiting 11 hours before reporting it.  He wasn't confused.  He knew.  Remember Chappaquiddick!  And remember that the fat slug endorsed Obama.

I share your disdain for the "good" senator. I would have said "for the man" except he is not one. The sad thing about his passing is that if you watch the news or any news type show he will be on every day for the next six months or more. I am nauseated by all the "wonderful flowery prose" they will use to honor him. No one on any tv channel will say anything derogatory about him except Chappaquidick maybe, but it will be glossed over. The whole Kennedy politcal clan from Joe Sr. on down were nothing to be proud of and are one of the most embarrasing parts of our history. If JFK wasn't assasinated he would have just been a mediocre president at best. If any of us regular folk got cancer under Teddy's plan there would have been no heroic efforts to save us. We would have just gone straight to the morphine and councelling. I only sound so sarcastic and jaded because I am. Steve

when asked about the Ted Kennedy Health Reform bill's position on abortion, supporters could only say, "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it."

There seem to be a whole lotta bridges that need to be crossed on this one. Problem is they are all like that bridge that collapsed in Minneapolis a few years ago. Steve

Well what still irritates the poo-poo out of me is,they are in our family.
What I understand,is it happened in presume,the early 1900s.
A lady that does geneology in the family told me a few years ago.
The difference is,I believe in the 2nd Amendment and just what the Constitution says.
They don't believe in any of it.Except for monetary and political gain.
Ashamed of them ?Yes,I am.
Still can't change a leopard's spots......

Yep.He wore out his welcome.
For the sub-sub-sub,he's sub alright;6 feet under.
But in the wrong place.Arlington was not appropriate.
He was not honorable.
