Unlimited access to vast amounts of money from the day one is born also makes a person totally unable to understand really what it takes to survive on a limited salary. It makes the person unable to really undertand the average citizen’s relationship with money. Sort of the “let them eat cake” mentality or a rich man.

I would prefer the citizens of Mass. do finally will the Senate seat with a person who may not have access to the already vested powers that be but by someone who could really understand what most citizens feel about issues he or she will be discussing and devising policy about. The seat should not be handed to someone simply based on his or her last name. Electing a nephew or a son of a previous Senator is not the same as staying with the same doctor until one dies.

It really is time for new bloodlines in government across the board.

With the creation of this country, a giant leap was taken regarding how men perceived their roles in this universe. In a country built by strong individuals from ALL backgrounds, class lines became blurred to the point where people began to realize that exceptional contributions came from men of all walks of life. A child born in this country had a clean slate, and his potential should not be limited by the petty prejudices of other men. “All men are created equal.”

The Kennedys and their ilk have slowly brought back feudal notions, and they’ve actively and shamelessly promoted themselves as superior to the rest of us, and as such, they’ve set up their own little Kingdom. Likening their world to Camelot is far more disturbing than it is admireable.

The Revolution, Constitution, and the Bill of Rights were all parts of an orchestrated effort to eradicate the inequities of the feudal system. Let other countries have their Kings, Queens, Princes, and other silly pseudo dieties, but let’s not let a bunch of power hungry elitists coronate themselves in this country.

The Kennedys are fading, but a new group of aristocratic wanna-be’s have swept into DC from the Chicago fiefdom under a Karl Marx banner. They must be challenged and faught on all fronts, unless you want “some men are more equal than others”.

My family includes three physicians. They are all overworked due to the present doctor:patient ratio. They are also all in agreement that, if told they will earn less while caring for more patients, they will simply cut back on their hours.

Until there are enough doctors and nurses to adequately care for all the millions of additonal patients, there will be no better care. In fact it will deteriorate for everyone. If you think you wait a long time for an appointment now, what do you expect when you are sitting in a waiting room with twice as many patients? If you think it’s hard to get an appointment now, wait until doctors decrease their hours.

That One is trying to fit everyone into a rowboat with a leaky hull and then shove us all out to sea without oars. Until the boat is seaworthy we’re better off staying at the dock.

look at john stossel’s youtube about healthcare in canada…i loved the part about 4 citizens in a town being chosen by lottery every month to get a doctor, any doctor…because doctors are not accepting new patients.

and the number they use…47 million uninsured..is bogus. 10 million are illegals, 20 million are people who make more than 50k but choose not to have insurance, 10 million could get medicaid. that leaves around 7 million…7 out of 300.

just wait until the younger set discover that they have no choice…they must get and pay for insurance. just wait until the middle class is squeezed for every dollar, because we know that this thing is unsustainable.

i cant wait until 2010 and 2012 when we vote these assholes out of office.

I really don’t know what the framers of the Constitution intended, but reading American history the founders were career politicians themselves.

Personally, I don’t see them with airs of royalty (high or low). Fact is that in any campaign a politician can lose his job. Some people like to switch doctors and lawyers, others like to grow old with them.

Coming from a country that has a monarchy, every single Kennedy member has a right to run for office if they want. This is a free country and the constituents of Mass. have nothing to explain to the rest of the country.

Yeah and I could use the same argument for the selection of Dubya and the selection of That One. What the voters of Massachusetts did was give that man a fiefdom. I rather doubt the framers of the Constitution expected anyone to use the Senate or the House as a means to put on airs or assume the status of ersatz royalty. And my indignation is not limited to Kennedy or the Democrats. They are hired help and not rulers, though judging from THEIR attitudes, you’d think it was the other way around.
