Kit Bond has shown the Republican's hand when it comes to dealing with Kennedy & healthcare.

Edited on Wed Aug-26-09 01:20 PM by Drunken Irishman

They're going to say with Kennedy, we would have been able to hammer out a bipartisan bill and since he's been missing in this debate, it's allowed the Democrats to establish a partisan bill.

This is what they're going to do. Ready for it.

They won't have an awakening and support the Democrats. Instead, they'll say it's a shame Kennedy wasn't around to bring about true bipartisan healthcare reform.

1. Haven't some other Repukes already said as much?

I seem to remember seeing some quotes from Grampa McCain and a few others to that effect.

Fucking lying backstabbing bastards that they are.

3. Probably. This will become their talking point.

Had Kennedy been there, we would have been able to pass true healthcare reform through real bipartisanship, something this current administration and members of Congress have failed to do...

2. What Senator Kennedy really wanted for us was a single payer system

he wouldn't have given into the Republicans to only give us faux reform like the Democrats who are left are apt to do.

I truly hope they don't insult his memory by slapping his name on a piece of crap "Insurance Company Protection Act" (like HR3200).
