The least of the brothers is dead. RIP.
They were just talking about how he worked to get legislation passed so that Romney couldn't appoint his replacement, and how he tried to get the law changed back now that there is a Dem Governor in Mass. but he died before the law could be changed. So as it sits Mass law says 5 months before an election is held to elect his replacement, be interesting to see if the Dem's try to push the change to the law through so they can appoint a Dem replacement so they don't lose the filibuster.
As I said to my wife when she told me this morning that he has passed... "When you don't have anything good to say about someone.."
That said, I'm sure Mary Jo Kopechne was there pushing the down button on the elevator for him.....
I don’t wish to celebrate anyone’s death. But I am glad that Ted Kennedy will no longer be able to inflict harm on any more interns or on this country.
You can't call that chap a quitter!
May he Rest in Peace.
Too bad the Dems are already invoking his name to try to influence Healthcare passage.
From the Christian Conservative link I posted above, I draw upon one of my favorite letters:
Quote:
David Jeffers adds:
After the lionization is over; the casket is removed from the Capitol Rotunda, and the senator is laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery next to his brothers, the Democrats at the prodding of Rahm “never waste a crisis” Emanuel will come out with a revised health care plan in honor of the late and “great” Ted Kennedy.
As Thomas Paine once wrote, “these are the times that try men’s souls”, our elected Republican representatives in Congress are going to be tested. Will they be able to stand up to the vitriol sure to come if they oppose TeddyCare? Will they be able to overcome the wave of emotion during the Teddy hero-worship that will no doubt come from the Democrats and their public relations firm, the mainstream media?
The Republican Party will no doubt crumble under the pressure if we the people are not there to man the ramparts of their crumbling spines.
We conservatives are going to have to be the badge of courage our Republican Cowardly Lions are going to need in the days ahead.
The worst part is they're likely to come out with some sort of healthcare plan that will have Teddy spinning in his grave just weeks after he was laid to rest.
I disagree. To most conservatives, Ted Kennedy is considered a national embarrassment on the level of Joe McCarthy was to the liberals. While tying legislation to his name will tug at the heartstrings of the faithful, for many it will have quite the opposite effect. I think this commentator is barking up the wrong tree.Quote:
