>Different generation. And by liberal, I mean the "fat ted kennedy", Obozo brand of progressive bs. I don't think you fall into that category.

I never had the opportunity to vote for Ted, but I would have had I been a resident of Ma. His brand of liberalism is sorely missing in today's party.
One of his landmark achievements, Employee Retirement Income Security Act -ERISA - was emasculated in the last financial bill passed with support from many dems and signed by Obama.
Requirements that pensions promised to employees be actually funded and paid were quietly deleted.
Many current retirees are now in danger of losing the pensions they worked for all their lives.
Another example of the power of corporate money when it goes unchallenged.
Ted's voice is missed.
