7. Excellent! I was just visualizing that about half an hour ago

So stupid that they can't take the vote to him, and make an ill man travel for protocol's sake, but THANK GOD there are still a handful of strong-willed DEMS in the Senate!

Maybe he'll kick Harry's ass while he's down there.

12. Oh I bet he has a lot to say. Here's his statement on the jobs report:

“Today’s job numbers confirm that the economy remains in free-fall, with disastrous consequences for America’s workers. We need strong measures to put people back to work and support for those who can’t find a job. That means immediately passing the pending bill, to create jobs as soon as possible and end this endless nightmare for workers and their families.”

22. Somebody needs to.

I applaud Teddy's strength in showing up for this, but if fucking Reid had a spine, it wouldn't be necessary for Teddy to be there, in his condition.

[ecstatic]

8. He is so loyal to us. Thank you Senator!

And to repukes: You are disgusting POSs.

[trashcanistanista]

9. They are almost back from dinner and will vote on the stimulus tonight.

I'm glad Ted will be there. They start at 7:00 PM ET. Tentative agreement has been reached. $780 billion total.

[TayTay]

10. I love my Senior Senator.

He is not only the Liberal Lion of the Senate, but a true Patriot who puts country first, partisanship second. (Unlike some others I could name.)

[camera obscura]

11. Kennedy is the MAN.

[avaistheone1]

13. Kennedy certainly is a leader.

I wish there more of a Democratic Senators were like him.

[Jennicut]

14. Take care of yourself Teddy-he really loves his country.

:hug: Giving him a hug.

[kiranon]

18. Agree! n/t

15. Fantastic... What Fortitude He Has! Sadly, We Will Lose Him Soon Along

with Ruth Bader Ginsberg. My mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, they gave her six months to live and it was almost six months to the day when she passed. It's a horrible cancer to have, as is the one Ted Kennedy has. My neighbor's nephew had the same tumor Ted has and despite 2 surgeries, it kept growing back.

I also knew two other people who died from the same tumor he has. Bless this wonderful man who has done so very much for HIS/OUR country! He has redeemed himself in more ways than can be counted!

[AspenRose]

16. God bless Ted Kennedy.

:patriot:

[YvonneCa]

17. YES! This is good news. They...

...must have the votes. Hoping. (Is there a fingers crossed smiley?) :)

[HughMoran]

19. Fuckin' A

Let's get this party started!

[1776Forever]

20. The man is a true liberal! Just like his brother John said....

Acceptance of the New York Liberal Party Nomination
September 14, 1960

What do our opponents mean when they apply to us the label "Liberal?"

"If by a 'liberal' they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people – their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties – someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a 'liberal,' then I am proud to say I’m a 'liberal.'"
— John F. Kennedy



Thank you with all my heart Ted, to you and your family.

[Cha]
