Hypocrisy: Kennedy Wants Law Changed in Mass Again
It was Kennedy that got the law changed in the first place when Kerry ran for President. He was scared, since Mitt Romney was governor, that if Kerry won the presidency a Republican might be appointed to replace him. Instead he wanted a state election. Not so much now that he has cancer and his prized topic of health care may rely on a vote from his position. Also, now that the governor is a Democrat, he wants the law changed back. Check out this moonbat scumbaggery!
A cancer-stricken Sen. Edward M. Kennedy has written a letter to Massachusetts leaders asking that they change state law to allow a speedy replacement of him in Congress.
The note has been sent to Gov. Deval Patrick and the state’s Senate president and House speaker while Congress considers an overhaul of the nation’s health care system, one of Kennedy’s projects.
The letter acknowledges the state changed its succession law in 2004 to require a special election within five months to fill any vacancy. At the time, legislative Democrats — with a wide majority in both chambers — were concerned because then-Republican Gov. Mitt Romney had the power to directly fill any vacancy created as Democratic Sen. John Kerry ran for president.
But Kennedy writes “it is vital for this commonwealth to have two voices speaking for the needs of its citizens and two votes in the Senate during the approximately five months between a vacancy and an election.”
Absolute profiles of a lowlife, hypocritical opportunist. Fortunately, the law probably won’t be changed.
The rule of law prevails because it’s seen by most as a fair, non-partisan measure of public behavior. There are good arguments to be made for both gubernatorial appointment and special elections as processes for filling mid-term vacancies in Congress. However, actions by a state legislature and demands by partisan hacks to keep going back and forth depending on the party registration of the Governor makes a mockery of the rule of law and underscores the fact that machine politics runs Massachusetts.
Question: Does this surprise anyone?

The fact that Ted Kennedy is a sick man doesn’t change the fact that he is a dirt bag.
One can feel sorrow for any one who is suffering, but truth will always remain truth.
Two questions for Teddy. Would he die on the plan that he’s trying to broker for all other Americans? And, what happened to that “selfless public servant”? I guess he’ll have plenty of explaining to do to his God soon. It will be about the only time in his life he’ll be held accountable.
Do you see what we have to put up with in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts? That’s what happens when one party controls everything. Even some of the Democrats are a little squeamish about this one… only because we have conservative and moderate talk show hosts that are all over it.
