Ted Kennedy was as partisan as any politician. He was great at being a politician. We arent haters, we are concerned citizens who worry about the path this country is headed down. As critical as you want to be about Bush, the war, Gitmo etc, the fact is that those policies are easily reversed, the tax cuts expire, the wars end. But this administration is doing things that CANT be reversed or changed even if they prove to be a disaster to the entire country. This isnt about some terrorist in a distant prison. It is about the American way of life and our system of capitalism. Saying that we dont want to meet in the middle is totally wrong and myopic. The middle isnt being offered. It wasnt offered in the stimlus debate and it isnt being offered now.
