Clinton Wishes Kennedy Well

LORETTO, KY — Hillary Clinton told a crowd assembled for a picnic at the Makers Mark bourbon facility that her thoughts and prayers are with Senator Ted Kennedy — hospitalized today after suffering a seizure at his home in Massachusetts.

“We had word this morning that my good friend and a great champion of working people, Senator Ted Kennedy, was rushed to the hospital with symptoms of a stroke,” she said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family, because he has been a champion for health care. Nobody has fought harder to make sure everybody got good health care. And I know that we all join together in wishing him well.”

Clinton pivoted from Kennedy’s hospitalization to the need to implement her universal health care plan. “What Senator Kennedy believes and what I believe and what many others believe is that every American should be entitled to the same health care as your member of congress is entitled to,” she said.

Please Ted go into retirement, and stop trying to relieving Americans of their sovereignty? If Democratic House madam Nancy Pelosi and Sen.Ultra liberal Ted Kennedy and their thrall are trying to derail the enforcement illegal immigration bill, SAVE ACT (H.R.408 8) it must be of paramount excellence for THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER.

In the public’s mind, probably no event from the 1988 campaign proved more memorable than the undoing of Democratic candidate Gary Hart. Long plagued by rumors of “womanizing,” the front-running senator from Colorado watched his chances for the presidency evaporate in May

Democratic presidential candidate Joseph R. Biden Jr., a U.S. senator from Delaware, was driven from the nomination battle after delivering, without attribution, passages from a speech by British Labor party leader Neil Kinnock. A barrage of subsidiary revelations by the press also contributed to Biden’s withdrawal:

Some of the answers were perplexing: Hart had shortened his name (from Hartpence), shaved a year off his age, and changed his signature several times. Hart compounded his problems by offering vague or misleading explanations for the alterations,

While home fishing in Georgia during a summer when his popularity was at low tide, President Jimmy Carter’s small boat was “attacked” by a mysterious swimming rabbit, which the president warded off with a paddle. Once leaked into print by Brooks Jackson of the Associated Press, the bizarre story captured the press’s and the public’s imagination, becoming a metaphor for Carter’s hapless, enfeebled presidency.

Democratic nominee George S. McGovern’s presidential hopes virtually evaporated when it was revealed shortly after the party convention that his newly chosen vice presidential running mate, Missouri U.S. Sen. Thomas F. Eagleton, had been hospitalized on three occasions for depression and had undergone electroshock therapy.

Angered by Manchester Union-Leader publisher William Loeb’s attacks on his wife and himself, Edmund S. Muskie – then a senator from Maine and the early favorite for the Democratic presidential nod – raged against Loeb in front of the newspaper’s building during a late February snowstorm. The Washington Post’s David S. Broder, among many others, reported that Muskie had “tears streaming down his face,”

Goodtimepolitics does not like to see this happen to anyone no matter if Sen. Ted Kennedy has been the far left democratic party backbone for many years. Now Barack Obama has taken Ted’s place at the far side of the trilight Zone! Also now teamed up with another far left John Edwards which will hurt him more than help!

Governor George W. Romney of Michigan was a leading contender for the 1968 Republican presidential nomination until September 4, 1967, when he told Detroit television newsman Lou Gordon that he had been “brainwashed” by American generals into supporting the Vietnam war

On the verge of an expected victory in New Hampshire, Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign faced the biggest frenzy of 1992 when allegations arose of an extramarital affair with Arkansas state employee and cabaret singer Gennifer Flowers.

 
Comment by dlwix

Six years later, in his deposition to lawyers representing former Arkansas state employee Paula Jones in her sexual harassment lawsuit against him, Clinton reportedly acknowledged for the first time in any known forum that he did have sexual relations with Flowers, saying it occurred just one time in 1977.

 
Comment by dlwix

Presidential candidate Bill Clinton’s integrity and patriotism came under considerable fire in 1992. Clinton had apparently agreed to join the R.O.T.C. as a way of avoiding being drafted into service during the Vietnam War and later reneged on that promise when his draft-lottery number ensured that he would not be selected.

Comment by Jkan

Hillary MUST run independent., if the DNC denies her (in many different ways and pre-planned efforts from the day she declared to run!) the nomination in a SEXIST way that the world has ever witnessed. That will be real history-making. I am sure she can win it in Nov - easy.

To dlwix - I know how biassed the news media is but I swear I did not know Bill Clinton was running for president. When did that happend. Gee, I thought presidents could only do 2 terms. You are so smart dlwix you evidently are the only one who knows Bill Clinton is running for president or is the obamanut paying you to post anything?

 
Comment by Dan WI

So, you need 270 electoral votes to win and she has 300. maybe the supers should take that into account.

Comment by Patty,NJ

Ok ok ok. I have a confession to make to all of you. My conscience is bothering me.
I AM THE PAID BLOGGER FOR THE OBAMA CAMP! I’m sorry but it has been too much fun misleading you guys. This should teach you all a lesson not to trust everything you read. All of you Hillary supporters should know that she has about as much of a chance of winning as McCain does. OBAMA’S MY MAN.

 
Comment by Dan WI

HEY EVERYBODY. PATTY, NJ TURNS OUT TO BE THE PAID OBAMA BLOGGER.

Comment by goldenstate

I hope Hillary runs as an Independent. Even if she doesn’t, I’ll write in Hillary’s name in November. I don’t trust Obama on national security.

 
Comment by Southern girl

Obama bloggers…lmao! Obama has to send in his homies to defend his sorry a$$. If he has time to hire bloggers than he has time to bring his lying lips on the blogs and speak for himself! Talk about a total loser!!!

Good ol’ Teddy didn’t have a seizure, he was just shaking another martini !

The guys a drunk, and deserves what he gets. Time to retire, Teddy, ’cause you are a zero compared to your brothers.

 
Comment by SanFranKid

Wow… Did anyone see the clip of Hilary Clinton wishing a speedy recovery to Kennedy? She had barrels of Markers Mark Bourbon behind her as she wished him well! The cause of his seizure could have came from not being able to drink alcohol while recovering from surgery. What a low blow from Clinton. Is this becuz Ted didn’t endorse that beezy? Scandocious!
