Senator Sanders Unfiltered: Farewell Senator

Ted Kennedy will go down in history as one of the giants of the U.S. Senate and one the most accomplished legislators in American history. He will also be remembered, by those who knew him, as an extremely warm and caring human being whose public service was a brilliant reflection of his love and devotion to his country, his friends and his family.

As a member of the Senate health and education committee, chaired by Senator Kennedy, I was always impressed by his intelligence, knowledge and seriousness of purpose. His career in public service was driven by a deep sense of compassion and a belief that, in this great country, every American should be entitled to quality health care, education and other basic needs as well as equal justice under the law.

His passion was that every single American has health care as a right of citizenship. He understood that there was something lacking in our country today when we remained the only nation in the industrialized world that does not provide health care to all people.

To the holier than thou cryptofascist zombie brigade,

How about fabricating a justification to invade Iraq? Over 4000 soldiers killed and still counting, not including

Afganistan. One million Iraq's dead, 4million displaced, not including Afganies.

Your still going to vote Republicon arent you?

A young rich man killed a friend by accident after drinking all night. He tried to make up for it his whole life.

Dick Cheney shot his friend in the face and got an apology.

In the UK I had a mild uterus infection. I received excellent care. I was seen by a very nice female doctor 5 minutes after I was taken to my hospital room. I had an ultra-sound and MRI, was given painkillers, and looked in on throughout by nurses. $0.00

In the US, my ring finger's tendon was severed, lots of blood, exposed bone. I lost function of the finger (and have never really regained it) and I had to wait for 15 hours in a Chicago hospital to get it fixed. The bill ruined my credit.

The fact is that's your only "point" for why EK was not an admirable person. Your charges is wildly inaccurate, and has less to do with the facts of the case or of the nature of his policies, but I suspect that you don't care about fallacious arguments, do you?

Jnz, please give me a detailed list of the rights that Barack Obama has taken from me. Please be specific. Don't give me the abortion lines. Right now, it is legal no matter what you or I think. Please defend your statement.

The Lion Of The Senate.

Teddy, you will be missed.

President Obama needs to tune out Republicans, blue dogs, and Harry Reid and just listen to Bernie Sanders.

America's only real enemies are Republicans.

[shadowcnidarian]

Your lack of proof against it,

shmuck.

[Lisbet3]

And you know this HOW, lowlife?

[Lisbet3]

Kennedy could have lived to see health reform if only Baucus and the blue dogs would have gotten off their sorry butts, said "To Hell with republicans" and passed a bill. SHAME ON THEM!!

[shadowcnidarian]

You're a lot uglier.

[shadowcnidarian]

The corporations already killed the public option.
