YEP...Kennedy and Byrd epitomize what is WRONG with politicians.....they think they are annointed....TERM LIMITS should be our CALL!!!
A better idea would be to rename anything signed by Barry O after Mary Jo Kopechne. That way she will always be remembered for her tragic death.
Just wait until the DemocRats ‘Give America The Byrd bill’.
Great. The Klansman giving over to the murderer...what a party...
I think it is a splendid idea!
Obamacare would leave the entire country drowning in debt and bureaucracy, and many people would needlessly die from lack of care.
That’ll work.
Let’s change the name and it will magically hide the fact that it will turn us into Gordon Brown’s UK medical hell AND bankrupt us.
I actually think its a great idea. When it doesn’t pass, it’ll be a fitting tribute to a guy who really only cared about himself, and lied like hell to pass some of the most damaging legislation in American history.
They are going to try to pull out every stop they can but it won’t work this time!
If passed, the Kennedycare bill would be the only thing in West Virginia NOT named after Byrd.
My take.....
The old man is naming a scape goat. He is taking away the terrible stigma from Obama Care and declaring it Kennedy Care.
The stain on the living President is thus transferred to a dead man.
Yes...but, if all goes well, an ineffective stain-remover.
