RIP Senator Kennedy

I certainly disagreed with most of what Senator Kennedy publicly supported but I understand he was a kind and gentle man in his dealings with his intimates. That trait is much more important in the long haul. May he rest in peace.

Democrat Politicians Are Amazing

When Mitt Romney was governor of Massachusetts, Democrats in the legislature took away from him the ability to appoint people in the case of a senator resigning or dying. At the time they were hopeful that John Kerry would be elected President and they didn't want Romney to appoint a Republican as his replacement.

Now that a Democrat is in office, and Senator Kennedy is near death, guess what they want to do? If you guessed that they want to reverse themselves and give the sitting Democratic governor the authority they stripped from Mitt Romney just a few years ago, then you are right.

Public policy shouldn't be based on short-term political games. It should be based on what is thought to be best for the people. The blatant political gamesmanship of this should turn every American's stomach.
