WE DO NOT WANT IT!

Kennedy has done nothing for anyone.

Look at the great VA medical government program.

No thanks!

Enough Said!

AMERICA does not want it, and does not want Socialism!

Have you morons ever looked at the terrible VA and their health care which by the way, is run by the government?

No thanks!

Enough Said!

I’ll tell you what Jesus. You get all the supporters together and you can foot the bill. This country cannot afford this bill.

“El Jefe” – “the chief” and others like him say “we donot need, we do not need. we do not need”.

I’ll tell you what you guys and gals need. It’s called compassion.

But even more, what you really need down deep is to get rid of that part of the Constitution that says, “to provide for the common welfare.”

James wrote: “I dont think Senator Kennedy would want this. This liberal Senator wanted to live. He had the finest Surgeon, the best hospital, the finest care. The bill being discussed has rationing and death panels. Kennedy at his age might not have made the cut and the government would have told him to take an asprin, go home, and die.”

I don’t understand how people can be this ignorant. NO, the bill does not have rationing, or death panels. NO the bill would not result in anyone being told to “go home, and die”. It’s just not true. Republicans who don’t like the idea of government-run health insurance are LYING to you to get you to dislike the bill. The funny thing is, you’d probably dislike it anyway, on perfectly valid grounds of small government, free markets etc. But as soon as you talk about “death panels” you prove that shi*t goes in your ear and out your mouth without your brain actually taking a moment to wonder if something so awful-sounding may actually not be true. Sheesh.

Kennedy will be sorely missed, a true liberal who knew what was important (versus today’s conservadems).

Reading some of these comments makes me really depressed about the IQ of the Georgia teabaggers. They seem to be drawn to this column week after week though.

I hope the POS suffered just as bad as the lady he murdered. May he burn for eternity.

I love reading AJC Opinion Page comments. Regardless of the topic, I get a kick reading such mindless garbage from you right-wing rubes. You display your ignorance so proudly. Trying to sound so intellectual, like you really know what you’re talking about. Kind of like putting a hubcap on a tractor (bet that will keep you scratching your head for a while). Of course, the fact that Teddy Kennedy championed and drove civil rights legislation probably doesn’t endear him to most of you racist rednecks.

Hopefully, once the Dawgs start playing football, most of you brainiacs will have better things to do than read the AJC opinion page.

I’m hearing Kennedy-care, but I’m thinking Kopechne-Care would be more accurate.
