Turning Kennedy's Death Into Politics

Someone's life, their work and everything they stand for are often looked at when they pass. When my father passed away, it was the first and most powerful emotional reaction I had. What did he stand for? What was his legacy? (Outside his children of course)

I am watching the news from all the media outlets and am personally sickened by how people are "Honoring" Kennedy by trying to leverage his death for their own gains.

When President Obama speaks at his funeral, I can be assured that no good "media" spotlight will go unused and we will hear about how we MUST pass this health reform to HONOR Kennedy. Instead of talking about the things his family and friends need to hear, we will be focused on Health Care.

How morally corrupt do we have to be to use someone like that?

Turning the page on filling his seat(s), worrying about enough VOTES to pass something and making us feel guilty about health care debate at a dead person's funeral is just morbid.

Let's Honor him for what he did, his life, and his accomplishments... But DONT turn someone's funeral into a media circus!

If someone would have stood up at my fathers funeral and started talking about how we owed it to him to go ravage his estate, take everything he worked so hard for and split it up for our own gains... I would have PUNCHED THEM IN THE MOUTH and hauled them kicking and bleeding into the parking lot!

Show some respect people...
