I got the message below from Ted Kennedy’s widow, Vicki, and I wanted to make sure you saw it.
Martha Coakley is running to fill the rest of Ted Kennedy’s term, and her opponent is a far-right tea-bagger Republican.
It would be bad enough to lose this seat — and Democrats’ sixtieth vote in the Senate — right before the final health care reform vote. But it would be even worse for the decisive “no” vote to come from Ted Kennedy’s old seat.
At this point, I’m convinced that they didn’t really bury Teddy Kennedy. There’s a John Doe corpse in his grave and his well-pickled remains are in a locker on Capitol Hill waiting to be brought to the Senate floor for the final health care vote. They’ll sit him right next to Byrd so everyone can whisper about how remarkable and lively the Grand Kleagle looks.
But enough about Zombie McDrunky.
The Democratic party is so thoroughly devoid of real world ideas that its most consistent retort to Republicans is nothing more than playground sexual innuendo. And almost any political movement at any point in history would be embarrassed to have a verbally incontinent tool like Chuckie Schumer speaking for it.
Remember, they go with the insults because they can’t form a coherent argument to back up the insanity they’re pushing. They’ve got nothing.
