Did you see Republicans do this type of sick action during Reagan's or Nixon's service? No you didn't. Did you see any Republican Senator get up there and say anything like...."lets win the next election for the Gipper!!!"??? No you didn't. The fact that you don't understand the difference, confirms to me completely what I know to be true about Democrats vis a vis National Security and ethics in general.

Agreed on the Wellstone funeral. Bad taste. But to be fair, Nixon and Reagan weren't sitting senators at the time of their death.
But there's a difference in pushing legislation is that it was their life's work. Kennedy came out back in (March I believe?) and basically said it was his dying wish to get the health care issue done.
