Republicans want us to think Kennedy opposed health care reform

Sean Hannity whines that we're being implored to get behind health care reform because it's "what Ted Kennedy would have wanted."

Well, it is.   If we dare draw attention to the fact that Kennedy called reform "the cause of my life" while honoring him, the Republicans cry crocodile tears of how "dishonorable" that is.

Rush Limbaugh warns against "using" Ted Kennedy's name to advance health care reform as an "insult" and "supreme hypocrisy," because it would "deny Americans the choices Senator Kennedy had".

Oh really?  Ted Kennedy had a health care plan paid for by the federal government.  It is the Republicans, not the Democrats, trying to use Kennedy's name to deny us these choices.
