1. And well he should be
Considering how badly he got played by Bush on the edumacation bill. A lot of people (modest cough) knew at the time Kennedy was posing with Stupidhead at the signing that he was getting punked.

Please keep us cube rats updated with any details.

2. He's quoting what * promised before 2000 election, then showing what
* has actually done!

Talk about demonstrating the lies!

I still love Kennedy's "visual aids"! :)

Thanks so much...... I *love* watching Kennedy!

3. Citying NYT articles...

About government taking care of the banks, drug industries, HMOs but not the middle income Americans. President in Penn and Wisconsin, hope he explains why so many children are being left behind in these states. THe paretns are entitled to answers. They are entitled to explanations.

4. "* taking care of the banks, taking care of industry, taking care of drug
companies, but NOT Taking Care Of The People."

"People are tired of rhetoric, people are tired of misrepresentation,.............."

Damned straight we're tired of it!

18. Corporate welfare. Instead of the so-called "welfare queens"
that Ronnie Raygun ran around loudly condemning all the time, NOW, it's "welfare kings." Or "welfare czars." It's the big fatcat CEOs demanding all the entitlement these days. Unfortunately, they tend to be successful in acquiring it.

22. Yet, we Dems aren't effective in using this issue!
The whole idea of corporate welfare should be a hot-button issue, with the term on everyone's tongue.

Nope, it's ever so much easier to beat up poor women and children.

:mad: :mad: :nuke: :mad: :mad:

Kanary, mad as hell..........

Pleeeeeez, call the infamous number, and especially thank Murray's office, and Kennedy's office, and thank them for their work on this.

Then, call other Sen offices, and ask them to take action on this!

Thanks!

10. Please, everyone, call 1-800-839-5276! Today, lots of Senators!
Ask for their support of the Murray action, because taxpayers stand to lose 2.8 BILLION DOLLARS if action is not taken.

Thanks everyone...... we can bombard them on this today!

20. I just called...I love Kennedy!
WHEN Kerry wins, Kennedy can save the poor people and then retire happily. There is no one else quite like him.

21. Ted Kennedy has been a champion of the regular people - he's
a very special man.

And I called and told them I loved him for all he's done,. The lion of
the Senate
