Invoking the memory of Edward M. Kennedy

US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada speaks to senators who will appear on the Sunday morning talk shows in his Senate office in Washington, DC. The US Senate, torn along party lines, voted to formally launch debate on historic legislation to enact President Barack Obama's signature drive to remake US health care, handing him a win for now.

Kudos to the state-run media. This couldn’t have been a more fictitous partisan piece of crap reporting if it had come out of Hussein’s own mouth.

Invoking the memory of Mary Jo Kopechne, they should have rejected it.

if opposition means I’m a racist, I’m proud to be a RACIST!

Of course...Ded Kennedy D-(HELL) was smiling up at them from his new abode...

Healthcare Reform couldn’t have saved Mary Jo Kopechne.

So Dimocraps Landrieu and Lincoln have revealed themselves to be the political whores most knew they were. At least Landrieu held out for a 100 million dollar Saturday night “special”.
In spite of all the “circus” we now will get taxpayer funded abortions and government control of 1/6 of our economy.
Get ready for Cap and Tax.

If Byrd gets to vote from the Mountain State, why aren’t all the senators voting from their home states? Might save us a lot of money if they didn’t have to travel to and live in D.C.

In related news, we’re screwed.

The list, ping

Please DO NOT FALL for a David Espo Propaganda piece !
David Espo is a DNC mouthpiece.

Reid and the Obama state media hyped this vote because they needed a PR victory for this awful bill.

The fact this vote was this close should tell everyone how awful the bill is !
This vote to proceed to debate is usually a no brain-er not a nasty fight .
Th real fight in the floor debate so get ready top fight like HELL for the next three to four weeks !
Lieberman plans to filibuster any bill with a public option so its going to get real ugly.

"Imagine if, instead of debating whether to abolish slavery, instead of debating...those who disagreed had muted discussion and killed any vote," he said.

Aside from the absurd comparison, the man obviously knows nothing about how long and thoroughly the slavery discussion was muted and any abolitionist-leaning votes killed.

[americanophile]

A bad day. This bill must be stopped in the end.
