You people are nothing more than a bunch of selfish, arrogant, right-wing demagogues. How dare you impune organized labor and the minumum wage. What DID the working poor ever do to you people? What is it about them that you find so offensive? You all sicken me. Your words aren't fit to be on the same page as the words of a great statesman like Senator Edward M. Kennedy! The REAL freeloaders, the TRUE parasites are those CEOs and their obscene compensation packages.

the fact that a non due paying woker in a union shop is allowed the acces to the same benfits/pay and represenation as due paying people is freeloading plain and simple, end of story

Wow, a bit ridiculous. Relax and take a chill pill.

I agree with this, I pay hundreds in dues a month. It is brutal to pay so much for barely any protection, but that's the way it is to work in the hospital setting. As for workers who pay no union dues, WTF that just enrages me. Freeloaders.

Ted Kennedy. Fat fucking drunk, scumbag, and murderer. All he ever cared about was his precious senate seat. He threatened many first responders involved with his car accident and sent IRS and other government agents after them as intimidation. Anyone else would have paid the price for what he did. All you idiot liberals on here who praise him can all go fuck yourselves! This guy was nothing but a greedy, corrupt boozebag and an embarrassment to America.

If you you Bill Clinton is an amoral, draft-dodging, contemptible, cowardly piece of shit, he's got nothing on Ted Kennedy. Ted wrote the book!

Kennedy left a girl young enough to be his daughter to drown in his submerged car in the waters of Chappaquiddick Sound while he ran home, drunk, to placate his wife, sort out his alibi and bribe whoever it was necessary to bribe.

leaders like edward m kennedy are needed to keep a balance in this country-hopefully we will have more new leaders come along, and speak their minds, and speak the truth

its becoming more and more clear, that there is a great divide between the haves and the have nots-the rich dont need increaed tax breaks, and the poor shouldnt get handouts-this was a simple discussion about a minimum wage increase, that was way, way overdue-

to add extra amendments onto this bill, was the epitome of greed-the downfall of america-i have seen it coming for 10-20 years now, and the time has come-damn shame
