1. Since your avatar image is of the late great
Ted Kennedy do you think he would support the NO vote of Mr. Kucinich?

2. Ted Kennedy would have supported the Senate's HELP bill, not the crap we got from Baucus
and he would have held the line on a public option.

3. There is no way I will believe that he would support
those who will stop this bill. He had made a comment that one of his biggest mistakes back in the day was that he did not compromise to get health care done way back when. My bet is that he would stand with Bernie Sanders behind this President. He loved the guy and healthcare was one of his life long battles.

7. Both Vicki Kennedy and John Kerry said he would have voted for the Senate bill
if that was the final bill. No one was closer to him than Vicki, and Kerry had become his closest or one of his closest friends in the Senate by the time he passed away.

13. No chance in hell that Ted Kennedy votes against a bill that covers 30M uninsured Americans.
None whatsoever.

5. Evidently he changed his mind on gay marriage and decided to be against it to run for President
Oh no. Wait. That was Obama.

6. I am of the same opinion as Joe Biden
"Dennis, The ONLY thing I like about you is... YOUR WIFE."

some Body should just Give Ol' Dennis a toy flying saucer for his adamant no vote.

he has reduced himself to the level of Liberman.

8. If most Dems got on board with gay marriage...
Dennis would switch sides and start opposing it.

11. He's edgy that way.
He takes a stand, and never wavers from that position.


Until he does.

12. If health care were instead gay marriage, Kucinich would vote against national civil unions.
And claim that he did it because it wasn't "marriagey" enough.

14. That only affects gay people. It's not like they're real or anything....
