Sen Kennedy was agreat fighter and one hell of an orator. I gathered a few clips to remind us of his awesome power and passion. Below are just some- I know yall have many more. My favorites are his fight for the minumum wage raise in 2007 and his 1980 convention speech. Another one reminds us of how Democrats must argue for healthcare- his floor speech for SCHIP in 2007 is a must see. He does not use right frames here- nor as he ever. Dems must learn this.
Teddy remembers brother RFK at his funeral:
Teddy's Liberty College speech on tolerance. 1983- his love for church and state seperation was beyond reproach
The famous 1980 convention words-the dream shall never die.
Kennedy in 2007 on the floor mops the conservadems and gop's faces over SCHIP funding. Can you see him now arguing for universal healthcare? Keep this speech close your mind in t he days ahead.
One of his greatest speeches against the GOP. Topic minumum wage and GOP stall tactics. Watch-we have no one left like this!
Saying NO to Iraq Troop Surge
Kennedy on the floor pounding away at Bush against sending more troops to Iraq:
Kennedy on Telecom Immunity and his Vote Against. Let us hope Obama hears him.
