Political Irony

Paul Henderson, Realtor ® Lacey & Dupont Washington homes (RE/MAX Professionals & Four Seasons Inc.)  Paul I fully agree.  I think term limits are a must.  I don't care what party they belong to...enough is enough.

Neal Bloom-Realtor ® Assoc.-CRS-Weston FL (Keller Williams Properties) It is a sad commentary Neal that even near death the party came first, not the people he served.  If you read the article - Ted Kennedy was re-elected in 2006 and due to illness he has not been in Washington in the Senate where he belongs.  He rarely was there for any votes.  So in effect, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has only had one US Senator acting on its behalf.  Would the rights of the citizens of that state been better served if they had an active advocate working for them for three years?  Now this process of a special election from what I am reading will not happen for another 5-6 months.  If Ted Kennedy was such an advocate of health-care would not the  issue been served much better by an active participant?  Or better yet by someone in his seat that could actually vote on the issue in DC?  Talk about a death grip!  This was it, but it was on the power of office that the late Senator could not take with him.  Best of luck with that power in his next life.

Hannah Williams (Re/Max affiliates NE)  I don't think he was as highly thought of as the media would leave us to believe.  He was a one party man.  In the DC area when I lived there he was mocked and laughed at for his behavior and shenanigans around town.  Out side of the district you never heard any talk of that.  Personally I don't think he compared to his brothers and their accomplishments.

Mark MacKenzie Real Estate Planning  Mark you sound like a radical.   LOL!  Democracy?  People participating in the process?

Alexander-Slocum REMAX Team - Vancouver WA Real Estate (RE/MAX equity group, inc. - Vancouver Washington)  I think the late Senator had it right the first time.  That was the argument he used.  The people would have the say in the final vote. 

There is one thing that begs to raise the question...if the state is Democratic, and the Governor is Democratic was there a fear that the people would vote Republican?  If so, it would show the Senator now did not trust persons in his state to keep the seat Democratic.

John Mulkey, Housing Guru (TheHousingGuru.com)  So many of these politicians use the word bi-partisan freely but they would rather die then work with someone in the other party.  Talk is cheap and they will be judge instead by their actions which speak louder than their words.  They are hypocrites.

John Walters Slidell Real Estate Slidell Louisiana Homes (Frank Rubi Real Estate, LLC) I think he helped himself and his own fortunes.  I personally beleive he was to the left of most liberals, but then again that is what he grew up with.  His father Joe when ambassador to Great Britain in the Court of St James was known to have to have sided with Germany.  

phil LOL! He sure wasn't a poster boy for healthy living.

Paul Henderson, Realtor ® Lacey & Dupont Washington homes (RE/MAX Professionals & Four Seasons Inc.)  Some do, and some never want to.  You too Paul!

Charles Stallions Real Estate 800-309-3414 Pensacola, Fl.   You raise an interesting point.  It is so funny that when a real hell raiser passes away...you never hear persons speak more highly of them as if they were to be revered as a saint or something.  In life they were anything but theyre were not saints.  When I lived in DC - Ted Kennedy's had a reputation for partying too hardy even in public settings.
