Do the people of West Virginia really believe that a Byrd in the hand is worth two in the Bush?

Rename the bill after Kennedy and the symbolism would be perfect: Kennedy died waiting for the bill to be passed just like hundreds of thousands of patients will die waiting for a government bureaucrat to decide whether or not they will get medical treatment under the bill’s provisions.

Renaming the bill won’t help. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it’s a duck. You can’t put lipstick on a pig and think it is anything more than just a pig with lipstick on either.

“In the new book, The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism, Dr. Kengor points to a recently discovered memo dated May 14, 1983 from Viktor Chebrikov, the head of the KGB to General Secretary Andropov. Chebrikov informed Andropov of Kennedy’s offer, made via Senator Tunney, to form a partnership to undermine Reagan foreign policy and the President’s re-election efforts. Kennedy proposed that Andropov would make a direct appeal to the American public via television interviews that would be set up in cooperation with the major networks. Kennedy’s plan never materialized due to the sudden death of Andropov and the ascendance of Mikhail Gorbachev.”

Good post!

I don’t care what they call it as long as it fails to pass the House.

It’s time to take back the country.

And...would it not be only fitting that the Senators themselves subject themselves to the Senator-named health care plan...you know, just to sort of HONOR the late Senator? It would be very rude if they shunned it, don’t you think?

They’ll ‘water down’ the bill in his honor, too?

They know better than to name this bill after Kennedy, and this may be a clue into the thinking of the dems on this issue. If they feel it will pass—no doubts—then they will name it for Ted, but if they see the light as the rest of us do, then it will NOT be named after Ted.
