Shameless: Pelosi Already Using Ted Kennedy As The Patron Saint Of Government Health Care

Proof  •  August 26, 2009

He’s not even int he ground yet, and already we’re doing it for Teddy.

US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi vowed Wednesday to push through embattled health reform legislation this year following the death of Senator Ted Kennedy, who called the effort “the cause of my life”.
“Ted Kennedy?s dream of quality health care for all Americans will be made real this year because of his leadership and his inspiration,” Pelosi said in a statement.
President Barack Obama’s sweeping plan to provide health insurance to all Americans, the top domestic priority of his administration, has met with stiff public and political opposition amid concerns over the costs of the plan and the role of government in providing medical care.
Pelosi, one of Obama’s top Democratic allies, was reminding Americans that reforming the health care system was a cause dear to the heart of Kennedy, who died late Tuesday after losing a long battle with brain cancer.
“Sadly, Senator Kennedy left us exactly one year after he inspired the nation with his speech of optimism, vitality, and courage at the Convention in Denver,” she said.

I think that Democrat staffers can probably just create templates for their press releases for the next year that automatically append “Ted Kennedy would have wanted it this way” to the end of everything.

    On second thought…

    By all means, rename it the Kennedy Bill.

    That way we can kill health care “reform,” the Kennedy legacy, and the effectiveness of the Obama Administration in a single coup de main.

    Neiman,

    Which of the SAB obdurate are you addressing? There are, after all, rather a lot of them…

  • http://www.dartemis.net/blog/ sayanything-42

    Ah,

    Yes, one of the particularly obdurate…

  • http://northerngleaner.blogspot.com/ Gene

    This macabre appeal has been in the top drawer of Pelosi’s office as she was on the Kennedy Death Watch…..

    Ghoulish

  • sayanything-4625

    I wonder who controlled Congress when Reagan was President and raised taxes to a historic levels? Lets check…

    Why they were Democratic! Imagine a Democratic Congress that would raise taxes to historic levels then blame it on Reagan! Shocking, I know! Who’d a thunk it!

  • http://www.dartemis.net/blog/ sayanything-42

    You're just now figuring out that Democrats in general and Pelosi in particular are shameless apparatchiks?

  • SigFan

    "Do it for Teddy" is the new "Do it for the Children". Whatever they have to distort and exploit, so let it be written, so let it be done.

    Is his corpse even cold yet??

    Shameless

  • http://suitepotato.blogspot.com/ sayanything-4808

    Well, at least Teddy is finally shovel ready…

  • Mongol

    Yeah, it's Kennedy's reform –
    He died, because he was on average Joe's insurance plan… no wait
    He died, because American medicine is not as good as European or Canadian… no wait

    The "reform" is cancerous and it will do us in like cancer did Sen Kenedy?

    Is that the gipper who raised taxes to a historic levels, traded arms with terrorists, cut and run in Lebanon, armed Saddam, taught us that deficits don't matter, emptied mental health hospitals, made shit up about welfare queens, had two wifes, dabbled in the drug trade with Poxnews Ollie, had a lots of staff staff go to jail…that gipper?

  • DINO

    One and the same. The guy who started us on the road to debt and economic ruin!

    But he was a great leader for the stems. He taught them that you need to break government through the appointment of incompetents, massive debt and the exploitation of greed, selfishness and fear (with a healthy dose of ignorance).

    Yes. That one.

    Lucky guess.

  • Neiman

    Well I am glad to see little lying, Christ hating ribby and his bitch Ellinas are out today!

    Reagan won the Cold War – Kennedy killed over 50 million children; and the two lovers, like the Jewish leaders of Jesus earthly ministry choose the murderer to worship!

  • docdave

    The lefty tag team all together. Nice timing, twits. As if anyone rational cares what idiocies you post.

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/readers/author/realitybasedbob/ realitybasedbob

    Neiman, did you forget to change your stick this morning?

  • http://northerngleaner.blogspot.com/ Gene

    UM, I'm not sure, But do I see an intentional Post Hijack?

    Guys, a tiny bit of panache would be good to learn.

    If you are going to try to divert attention from the real embarrassing to the left issue, try seguing a bit.

    This made my head snap it came so fast.

    OK, back to the post at hand. Pelosi is Scheming Opportunistic Bitch.

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/readers/author/realitybasedbob/ realitybasedbob

    Yes because health care has been on or near the top of Kennedy's priorities from the day he was sworn in so having the Speaker of the House call for health care reform in his memory is sooooooo opportunistic.

    Thank a God that nutters never ever hoisted Raygun's ghost up a pole to see what flies he could draw.

    (What? Too much?)

    Your words convict you. You are the hater.
    A real Christian would have taken the higher ground.
    You were never a Christian. You are just a poseur, a control freak that is hiding behind the Cross.

    I gave you defference because of your religious beliefs.
    I wanted to believe that you were a real Christian.
    Your faith was tested, and you failed miserably.

    How the hell did he do this dastardly deed?

  • Bat One

    ellinas,

    Fortunately for us all, yours is NOT the final opinion on who is and who is not a real Christian.

    Fact is, your isn't even a remotely important opinion at all.

  • Bat One

    By all means, rename it the Kennedy Bill.

    Why not rename it the Kopechne Bill instead. Leaving it to flounder and ultimately die a slow, neglected death would be so very appropriate.

    Besides, look at what government health care did for the late Senator Kennedy. You'd almost think some unnamed, bureaucratic "death panel" told him to go home and ie.

  • http://www.dartemis.net/blog/ sayanything-42

    Bat One,

    Let me fix that for you:

    [overcompensating]Elinas,
    Fortunately for us all, yours is NOT the final opinion <del>on who is and who is not a real Christian</del> on any matter of susbtance.

    Fact is, your[s] isn't even a remotely important opinion <del>at all</del>.

    You could also point out overcompensatingelinas's douche status…

    They can rename it the Ked Kennedy bill but it will still be opposed.

    What does this bill and Ted have in common? Both are dead.

  • http://www.dartemis.net/blog/ sayanything-42

    They've both wrung down the curtain and joined the choir immortal?

  • Mickey

    Ironic. This health bill will deny Americans the same health benefits that Kennedy was allowed to have. By all means, name it after a Democrat.

  • Onslaught

    immortal?

    invisible.

    Bereft of life they rest in peace. If they hadn't been nailed to their perch they'd be pushing up the daisies.

  • HG

    Anyone who would malign Reagan's record as President is a shameless fool ignorant of both history and reality.

    Mickey,

    When ya think about it, Kennedy's government health care doesn't seem to have done him much good, did it? After all, he's dead!

    Not much of a recommendation.

    Is that the gipper who raised taxes to a historic levels

    Maybe its just me but I thought the Constitution gave the power to levy taxes to Congress. Let me check…
    http://supreme.justia.com/constitution/article-1/…

    Section 8. Clause 1. The Congress shall have Power to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States.
    POWER TO TAX AND SPEND
    Kinds of Taxes Permitted

    By the terms of the Constitution, the power of Congress to levy taxes is subject to but one exception and two qualifications. Articles exported from any State may not be taxed at all. Direct taxes must be levied by the rule of apportionment and indirect taxes by the rule of uniformity. The Court has emphasized the sweeping character of this power by saying from time to time that it "reaches every subject,"519 that it is "exhaustive"520 or that it "embraces every conceivable power of taxation."521 Despite these generalizations, the power has been at times substantially curtailed by judicial decision with respect to the subject matter of taxation, the manner in which taxes are imposed, and the objects for which they may be levied.

    I thought Reagan was President not the entire Congress. I bow to your superior wisdom.

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/readers/author/realitybasedbob/ realitybasedbob

    Whose signed the tax bills into law?

  • sayanything-4625

    Whose signed the tax bills into law?

    So we are going to play this game! Ok, who passed the law?

    See, you can blame Congress and Reagan but you can't blame Reagan alone. I didn't see you blaming the Democratic Congress, just Reagan. I've pointed out to you that Reagan can't raise taxes, Congress has that power. What now?

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/readers/author/realitybasedbob/ realitybasedbob

    So the buck stops before where the buck stops?

    Good to know.

  • Neiman

    I've pointed out to you that Reagan can't raise taxes, Congress has that power. What now?

    You will never get a rational, intelligent answer from Christ hating, lying little ribby. It is a waste fo time trying to debate any issue with him, his intellect stops at copy-and-paste and idiotic, inane, vacuus one-liners. In other words, he is a deceitful moron!

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/readers/author/realitybasedbob/ realitybasedbob

    Hi Neiman, how is your day going so far?

  • Neiman

    Unless you are ready to answer my long standing question of you and repent for your Christ hatred, you have nothing to say of any interest to me.

    May I assume you are ready to confess Christ now and repent fo your sins?

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/readers/author/realitybasedbob/ realitybasedbob

    Nothing?

    Howyadoin?

    Dearest Bat One, and beloved brother Rodney.
    I beg your forgiveness for taking so long to answer.
    Upon reading your opinion of my opinion, I was devastated.
    I was so hurt by the rejection, and so overcome by sadness I immediately left my house and sought solitude on one of the many levies that surround Stockton. There I cried. I cried like never before.
    I must confess. I contemplated suicide.
    But at the end, I decided against suicide.
    The option though is not completely off the table.
    Please respond quickly and tell me you were just joking.

    The simple fact that Teddie wanted it is reason enough to kill it.

    So the buck stops before where the buck stops?

    Good to know.

    See I can play this game too!

    So the people given the power to raise and levy taxes bear no responsibility for those taxes and the person that signs them into law bears complete and total responsibility? Who knew?

  • stewartized

    BasedBob (He left reality a long time ago) "And Reagan had two wives!" You cut too close to the bone, man! Your debating skills ledgendary! (for eighth graders). "Made shit up about welfare queens." Where basesbob the genuis uses the term "welfare queens", proving he agrees with The Great One. Thanks BB!

    Hi ,

    Thanks for writing such an interesting article. It's really good to know about the real estate and home furnishings in detail. It seems that home remodeling has become one of America's favorite pastimes. While the housing market may be experiencing a temporary downturn, Lebanon remodeling projects continue to hold steady simply because many Lebanon home owners have decided to stay put in their current homes, opting to upgrade rather than move.

    The average home is about 33 years old and with the nation's aging housing stock, Lebanon remodeling projects such as replacing windows and roofs are an ongoing necessity. But older home or new, Lebanon homeowners are adding, expanding, reconfiguring, and remodeling their homes more than ever. Lebanon remodeling is a big part of over 25 million U.S. homeowners undertaking some sort of home improvement project annually. Whether it's the addition of a new room, completely remodeling an existing interior design, or upgrading a kitchen, major remodeling projects now make up a considerable portion of homeowner improvement investment dollars.

    Thanks,

    - Andrew Morales
