Hard to believe... the Kennedys always seemed bigger than life... Hard to believe? What's that supposed to mean? Stick your head up your ass... the answer is there. Don't get all huffy Donny. It is often difficult to make sense out of your comments. I consider it an insult to be lumped in with a coward like Ted Kennedy. I hope he suffered no more and no less than Miss Kopechne and I hope his hypocrisy is judged fairly in any afterlife. Of course, he's a liberal. I'm betting that if he was a conservative, he'd be forgiven, correct? Nobody forgives Ted Stevens (Rep. AK) for his corruption. We all consider the Rep. Governor of SC to be a joke. As your charge of hypocrisy is baseless, I think that you have made the charge because you know that Dems are hypocrites and you accept it. On this sad day, there is solace in realizing that your side of the fence, the conservative, Republican side, has done virtually nothing via legislation or leadership by elected officials, to improve the plight of middle and lower families in this country. ....middle and lower income families... |

He was a true blue Old School Liberal Democrat and was fearless and unrelenting in his support for progressive causes, but at the same time pragmatic and a deal maker. Most importantly, a gentleman. I attend funerals of local service members who have died in our recent conflicts. Four years ago, there was a Marine in Southbridge whose family I knew who died in Iraq. It was a cold rainy day in November and at the grave side ceremony I glanced around and there was Ted Kennedy, standing all by himself with one aide, attending the burial of a fallen Marine. The only politician there. I later found out that he attended every single funeral and grave side ceremony for every military member from Massachusetts who died in Iraq and Afghanistan. Always by himself accompanied by one aide. That's leadership regardless of politics. |
