Obama and Kennedy
Watch Obama run with this. I am sure his folks are in full spin mode to use the death of Ted Kennedy to cover his falling polls.. . . and try to reverse them if they can. . .
As Tam said on her blog, wait for them to name the health care reform bill after him so they can ram rod it though.
They will stop talking about what the bill does, or costs, or how it will hurt us and instead all you will hear is how we need to do it for Ted, it is his greatest legacy . . . . .
Don't fall for it. We need to fight this bill no matter what they call it. Don't let the socialists win this one in Ted's name. Obama is on the ropes now with Health Care Reform, we need to keep him there. Time to kick it up a notch folks! Keep writing into your reps and let them know you won't fall for this and you will remember what they do when the next election comes around. . . .
As for Ted's legacy it is this – He was a trust fund millionaire who used his position to tax the hell out of the working man to insure he keeps the votes of the welfare crowd by keeping them on the dole. . . . end of story. He is not to be looked up to that is for sure.
There's a Surprise
Why am I not surprised.
Patrick is a spend free liberal running a state awash in red ink and a budget out of control. He raised taxes on us during one of the worst economies since the Great Depression.
Do you really want him sending the next Senator from MA to DC???

Obama's Numbers Falling
All I can say is YAAA HOOOO
we may yet keep this country from going Socialist. You folks voted in this fool with no experience. what did you expect him to do? Actually fix something???? Most folks are seeing that the stimulus is not working, probably made it worse and his other ideas are failing too. . . . Why is it many of us could have told you all this before he screed us but no one would listen. . . .
2010 is the next chance we have to fix things. Time to get the REAL conservatives back in charge
Kennedy's Senate seat to stay empty
As it should. The law was changed to play partisan politics against the Republicans, it is Justice that it now is used against the Democrats.
Now if folks would just remember that you don't inherit a Senate seat, you are elected to it. I hope and pray that we don't put another Kennedy in there. It is time for some fresh ideas in this state. Lets start with a new Senator that does not come from the old guard!
ROUS?
Ted Kennedy has died
First I want to say that my sympathy is with the family. I have seldom if ever agreed with Ted on anything political but he was a person and had a family that cared for him. I hope the news media will give them the space they will need.
On a human level I am sorry to hear the news. As I said, he had a family that loved him, and I will admit he tried to do what he thought was right while in office (I hope, I will give the benefit of the doubt to him). In the name of full disclosure, I was against most of his ideas in office and fought against them. I think he lost his way somewhere on his journey and became one heck of a socialist on us.
On a political level I look forward to a new person in his seat in the Senate. I am sure this dumb state will put in another liberal, I just hope he or she won't be as far to the left as Ted was. We need more moderates in there that listen to the voters. It will be an interesting election. I admit I didn't like his politics, and have been looking forward to his retirement from the Senate but not like this.
I have seen what cancer will do to a person first hand, and it is not pretty. No one should have to go through that. I hope he is at peace and has finally escaped the pain that cancer brings.
Now on to the election. I hope we have a good race with a few choices. The Kennedy family has acted like they run this state for too long. It is time for them to step aside and for a new person to get in there and see what they can do to help fix this state and this country.

Obama Myths
I still call bull shit. They have a bunch of proposals out there so they can play a shell game. No one of them has all the problems that folks are reporting. When you hit them on one issue they just point to a different bill and say that is not in the one I am backing. . . BS
Here are the big issues still out there
- "death panels" - pulled from some bills but when money gets tight they will have to ration care. no money no care.
- illegals - some say nothing (will be a yes if passed) and some say no
- Access to your bank account still on the table
- All companies have to give public insurance in 5 years still on the table
- you can keep your insurance until you change plans, then you HAVE to go public - still out there
- And the big one - add 50 million to the system with no new doctors or hospitals. . . . when the system can't handle what it has now. . .
- And lets not forget cost. The government system has unlimited funds (your tax money) to run on so they can put all the Private folks out of business then do what they want. Also under cost is the fact this will add to the national deficit, we don't have the money for it now or in the future.
- lastly lets remember that the government accounting office (the GAO) has said the plans it has reviewed so far will not save us any money just shift the cost to tax payers. . .
National Health Care - still a looser
You want to fix this then go after all the law suites that cause the cost of medical care to be so high because doctors have to pay a tone of cash to the malpractice folks, and have to order every test under the sun for anything to cover their ass if they get sued. . . . that is the real problem
And if government is so good at running things then why is Fed-Ex and UPS doing ok while the Post Office is cutting back????
