Patrick Kennedy Redefines Independent As Liberal Democrat Lapdog


Patrick Kennedy, the son of the now late Edward Kennedy, has never been accused by people with brains as having one himself. The man is a bumbling blather or words just waiting to say something stupid. Sort of carrying on the tradition his father had as he stood before the Senate. And not wanting to disappoint, he has done just that.

The younger Kennedy is upset. He is upset that Senator Scott Brown, duly elected to serve the people of the State of Massachusetts without question, wanted to take up his seat in the Senate rather than let old what’s his name who no one can remember continue to cast votes in lock step with the liberal Democrats.

Reports the Hill:

“Brown’s whole candidacy was shown to be a joke today when he was sworn in early in order to cast his first vote as an objection to Obama’s appointment to the NLRB,” Kennedy said Thursday.
Kennedy was referencing some Democrats’ thoughts that Brown tried to bump up his swearing-in in order to give Republicans 41 votes, enough to filibuster the nomination of Craig Becker, a controversial nominee to join the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

“Seven out of ten of Brown’s voters were labor households and he stressed that he was independent and while he was originally scheduled to be sworn in next week, they moved it up to today so he could cast his first vote, the most anti-labor, the most anti-what his constituents thought they were voting for when they voted for him,” Kennedy said.

We can only take from this little tirade by an even littler man that being an “independent” means that he should never vote with Republicans and should fall in line with President Obama and the far left goofs in the Senate? Hey Kennedy! Yooohoooo! Did you not pay attention? Brown, while I still maintain should not be praised as some great savior of our Republic, ran specifically against many of the things the liberals in Washington wanted to do! He was elected on those merits! So who do you think you are complaining that he is doing something that he could have reasonably been expected to do and oppose things far left liberals are trying to do? Yeah, I know, you’re a Kennedy – you think you are entitled to tell people what to do.

Get over yourself. Sober up and then maybe you can try again to explain how exactly Brown wanting to be seated to do what he was elected to do is a bad thing. At least when I plan to criticize Mr. Brown it will be over his failure, which is coming so mark my words, to do what he is sworn to do – defend and protect and abide by our Constitution. You on the other hand Mr. Kennedy just sound like a spoiled brat. Which is good, because that is exactly what you are. Because for some reason I do not remember such outrage on your part at liberals that blocked nominations of President Bush simply because he was an R and they were Ds – not that quite a few of Bush’s appointments didn’t deserve to be blocked by the way.
