And so it begins ....

Democrats are hoping that the memory of Sen. Ted Kennedy will revive the Democratic Party's flagging push for health care reform.

President Obama's senior advisor remembers the "Lion of the Senate.""You've heard of 'win one for the Gipper'? There is going to be an atmosphere of 'win one for Teddy,'" Ralph G. Neas, the CEO of the liberal National Coalition on Health Care, told ABC News.

Democrats are hoping that Kennedy's influence in death may be even stronger than it was when he was alive as they push for President Obama's top domestic priority. Democratic officials hope that invoking Kennedy's passion for the issue will counter slippage in support for heatlh care reform.

"Ted Kennedy's dream of quality health care for all Americans will be made real this year because of his leadership and his inspiration," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a statement.

now that's a really imaginative slogan !!! Who would have ever thunked that one up !!! Yet you know 'win one for Teddy,'" well that just may be a bear to beat; you know Teddy Bear !!! oh well maybe one needs a drink to appreciate that one !!!!
 
Oh good grief.
 
He didn't get to see it come to pass before he died...

...hopefully he doesn't get to have his name attached to getting it passed afterwards.

That was pretty sick. Pelosi's an idiot, I think even Obama is not dumb enough to try to exploit someone's death for his own political purposes (though that has yet to be proven....)
 
R.I.P. Teddy! The world lost one of the good guys today and you will be missed:(

I don't know what's gotten into Matthews in the last few years. He used to be so good, now he's just Rachel Maddow without the adam's apple.

Yeah. 30 million people living in dirty ass, poor, underfed, extremely politically corrupt, mob ridden Mexico wouldn't have come to America otherwise. Have you ever been outside of your state and ventured to Mexico? It's like Zimbabwe down there. In Spanish and with Tacos. :lol:

Well this is getting off topic, but what do YOU really know about immigrants. I happen to know some personally, I grew up with them around me. Two are my parents, and none snuck over the border. Trust me, you don't want to go down this road, I know what I'm talking about. Anyway, back to Kennedy?

No one is defending the Chappaquidick fatal accident. The man had an otherwise distinguished senate career and I offer condolences to the Kennedy family who have suffered so many tragedies.

Well maybe to an extent, but he had behavioral issues that made headlines. Like partying like a frat boy at age 60+ with boys 1/3 his age. I don't consider him a great man, nor an example citizen. Cancer is tough, but I won't celebrate the man.

Did you vote before you were 21? You can thank Ted Kennedy for that. I also know he did many things on the Civil Rights front, I just can't name any specifics off of the top of my head.
