Our Friends in Massachusetts

The phrase "all men are equal but some are more equal than others" definitely applies to democrats where in Massachusetts, legislatures changed the law to keep their citizens from voting in a senator they didn't want. This was the same law they had changed to keep then Governor Romney from choosing a Senator in case Frank-en-Kerry won the Presidency in 2004. The thought that the former governor, Mitt Romney, a republican, could be running for Senate, has got them thinking that the people of the state cannot choose its own Senator is uncalled for. So in order to try to make things better on their end the current Governor Deval Patrick was given the power to fill Ted Kennedy's Senate seat with the former Democrat party head Paul Kirk. In order to make sure that this will not cause to much of an uproar in Massachusetts, all of the press releases did say that he is a former Kennedy friend, which after all, is enough for them.

Speaking of the Kennedy's, can anybody actually name something that President Kennedy did right?

*There was the Bay of Pigs, a disaster.

*The Cuban missile crisis? He reacted and in the end did what the Soviets had wanted him to do which was to remove our nuclear missiles from Turkey. It was the closest we've been to nuclear war and was the result of the Bay of Pigs. So cause and effect.

*There was the Vietnam War and we can ask the 58,209 KIA and the 1,948 still MIA but it might be easier to ask the homeless. As a nation, a quarter of our homeless is veterans and a substantial number of those are Vietnam veterans.

*He cheated on his beautiful wife with several women including Marilyn Monroe, a huge step up from Monica Lewinsky, but still cheating.

*You could say he got us to the moon because he gave a speech about it, but did George W. Bush get us to Mars. All the Moon landings happened during Richard Nixon's presidency. We haven't had one before or after.

*He backed up the Baath Party in Iraq in order to try and get oil. The Baath Communist Party who's leader in 1969 was Saddam Hussein. Great going.

*He established the Peace Corps. I found one. A neat way for us to put CIA agents throughout the world in the name of helping. I believe they fixed that now.

So since all these people have been riding on the curtails of a dead president that didn't do anything substantial except his family looked good and the press loved them, maybe its time we moved on.
