I am sitting here and thinking about what is going to happen when the congresscritters come back in session. My main worry is that they are going to come back and rally to pass a "healthcare reform" bill under the guise of doing it for Ted Kennedy. I hope and pray that this doesn't happen and that the congresscritters have heard the American people against the proposed bill (I know wishful thinking). Am I wrong (paranoid) or do you have the same fear?
Mods if I have posted this in the wrong area, please move.

You're not paranoid, and I doubt you have a fear at all, but a reasonable expectation.
Carrion feeders that they are, the leftist extremists will bandy about the Kennedy name in an effort to foist so-called "health care reform" upon America.
There isn't a problem; therefore, the leftist extremists are adamant about shoving a multi-trillion dollar so-called "solution" down the nation's throat. It's just another looter effort to extend government control over the commoners.

You're new. Yes, this is a political topic.

Saw an article on drudge... one of the potential waffler senators in Wyoming has said it's unlikely he'd be willing to "compromise" on health care.
I hate that word - compromise.
It basically always means sell your constituents down the river and take something from them... without getting anything that they might actually appreciate in return.
Hopefully McCain doesn't "compromise." ass-hat.

McCain... not compromising? Does not compute.

They're going to do what they're going to do, and we're going to do what we're going to do. If Obama has to carry the body of the fallen Caesar in his arms to sway the masses, he will, rest assured. But the push-back against the health care "reforms" is just in the embryonic stage; we have yet to see actual and serious repercussions affecting the broad swath of voters, and when and if those begin all bets are off. So far it's largely based on hypotheticals. If they want to wager the electoral farm on KennedyCare and the rest of the crap sandwiches they have in the cooler, so be it. The level of disenchantment and anger is going to mount, is not going away.

That's what they absolutely refuse to recognize. They rationalize or try to diminish their opposition, deluding themselves into thinking it's not real. Come November of 2010, they could be in for the biggest surprise in 16 years.
As for using Kennedy, what's new? Remember how they propped up ol' Paul Wellstone to help Kerry?

You're late on the draw. They've been pushing it as a good way to "remember" him since before his body cooled.

We can only hope so...

I just had a flashback of the movie Weekend at Bernie's . . .

I remember Rush saying that they would use Kennedy to push through socialist health-care more than a year ago. Once again, he seems to be ahead of the curve.

Dead Kennedys have been shaping American policies for decades. The dead ones appear to be even more influential than the living ones. (We can make an argument that Joe's bootlegging and the later assassinations gave us the '34 and '68 gun laws that re-made the Second Amendment climate in this nation.) They continue to be useful ideological phantasms for the lefist zealots. Ted will be no different, even though over half this nation doesn't really know who the Kennedys are or were, much less care. Today's Americans aren't that up on or big on "history," after all, and when John Jr. went down in that plane crash the pop mystique died with him. Caroline isn't hot, and Ted wasn't cool, just an aging reprobate; the rest of the clan is more concerned about dividend checks from those Fiji-based trusts.
That said, Ted won't change America's political history; his death is a subplot. The real drama here is The State versus The People, and that is most definitely going to be played out on the large screen over the next few years, with an unpredictable climax.
