The way I am reading things here.

[sheshe2]

All Democratic Senators are no longer needed. Go home because according to what I have read you are just do nothings. One man alone is leading this party, one he does not belong to and you are now obsolete. Every idea and policy over the last 40 years or more, he owns and has lead the way with that reform, even when it was not his originally. Every post I see is one man leading all others which includes misleading headlines and omits any Democrats that have supported it forever. He is the 'I' party in many ways, Democrats are the 'We' party. No one man stands alone, we work together or all is lost.

Breaks my heart when my Senator is no longer important. My Senator started and finished this.

I for one hate to see my late Senator Teddy given a last row seat over Bernie.

The Top 10 Ted Kennedy Legislations


Edward M. Kennedy's legacy. The major votes he participated in, bills Ted Kennedy passed and more. This is my tribute to the lion of the Senate. This memorial for Ted Kennedy can't even begin to do his legislative legacy justice, but as talk begins to turn to who will replace Senator Kennedy, I hope this helps serve as a guide to what he and his seat came to stand for.

The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001

The State Children's Health Insurance Program

The Mental Health Parity Act

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act

The Civil Rights Act of 1991

The Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency Act

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990

The Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act

The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985

The Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971

National Cancer Act of 1971

Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965

Please show me a progressive agenda and ACCOMPLISHMENTS and not just promises that Bernie has done that will come close to what Teddy did.




We are not the party of me, look at me. We are the party of we, all the people and our Democratic representatives working for all of us as a whole.

1. To add to the list:

The Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975 (now called the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act--IDEA);

4. Kinda get the idea...

For what purpose we'll let the beholder decide.

[sheshe2]

5. Ummmhhmmm

[iamateacher]

Sorry

[sheshe2]

8. This is a disscussion board.

This is not a yes or no...please expand on your response.

7. It does get silly, she

So many Ds are dissed here, despite their many accomplishments. But one legislator not only seemingly cannot be criticized, he is responsible for every good idea, ever created.

9. It passed the ridiculous point here a long time ago.

You expressed it well: Democrats are the party of we, not me.

10. I remember when he died

I got on my very loud riding mower and cried my eyes out. I knew he was the last of the great progressive Dems who could get things done.
Thank you for posting this because we need to be reminded how things once were and that so many have benefitted.
