America's worst. Senator. Ever. Ted Kennedy!

[tips up]

I don’t recall Reagan really going to the mat to save his nomination (though that was a long time ago and I may have forgotten).

Reagan ran rings around the media and Congress on other issues like his tax cuts.

“If Mary Jo Kopechne had lived, she would be 64 years old.
Through his tireless work as a legislator,
Edward Kennedy would have brought comfort to her in her old age.”
Charles Pierce, January 5, 2003 Boston Globe Magazine

Decent people should ostracize Ted Kennedy.

[Clint N. Suhks]

Borking may have been the first shot across the bow...probably an extension of Nixon hate.

Now the dems have escalated it exponentially due to the BJ Clintoon impeachment. Someday we have to drop a nuc on this crap.

Ted Kennedy's America is a land in which abortions including partial birth abortions would be government sponsored even for school children, whites and Asians would be denied college admission and jobs because of racial quotas, the politically correctness thought police would stifle free speech, schoolchildren would be taught global warming propaganda instead of real science and 11 year olds would be furnished with birth control by their schools, radio talk shows and bloggers would be censored at the whim of the government by the "fairness" doctrine.

The runt of a demented brood. All Kennedys are pus.

I wonder if he was compromised by the KGB sometime in the 60’s.

"In a world where the Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill standard was held consistently, Clinton would not have been qualified to be a tollbooth attendant on the New Jersey Turnpike."

[Jack Hammer]

“This month marks the 20th anniversary of the borking of Judge Robert Bork, Ronald Reagan’s failed Supreme Court nominee.”

There was nothing “failed” about Robert Bork. The failure was that of Congress - to approve the nomination of one of the most highly qualified nominees of the Twentieth Century.

In Ted Kennedy, Hillary Kclinton, John Kerry, Joe Kbiden, Harry Kreid, any pig of the communist Marxist’s Dimocrat party, in their Amerika, the red flag with a hammer and sickle would be on it. The United Socialist’s Soviet States of Amerika. That is what they are aiming for. And, with the help of STUPID Amerika, they are getting it.

He leaves a legacy far worse that Senator Joseph McCarthy. May Kennedy's name be remembered for the real dangerous partisan witchhunts.

[Badeye]

Kennedy’s outburt about Bork was a golden opportunity for President Reagan to lay him out politically for the scumbag hypocrite he truly is.

That Reagan choose not to do so is one of those ‘what if’ political moments you just shake your head at.

When Reagan didn’t respond forcefully, bumblers like John Warner sided with the Democrats.

Imagine if we conservatives had won that round, folks.

Instead, we got Justice Sandra ‘Maybe yes, but maybe not’ O’connor.

“In 1991, Bush nominated Clarence Thomas for the high court, and Democrats attempted to replay their Bork triumph and likewise destroy Thomas. But Thomas would not be goaded into the meat grinder. This remains the outrage according to liberals today: He refused to go quietly into the night.”

There was an added element which wasn’t present in 1987. When Clarence Thomas came under attack and Anita Hill made her scurrilous lies public, Republicans FOUGHT BACK!!!!

I’ve said it before I’ll say it again. America is a lesser nation because it did not have Robert Bork on the USSC.

[fkabuckeyesrule]

****In 1992, Bill Clinton introduced the phrase “the politics of personal destruction” to the lexicon.****

I believe that phrase was what Clinton said after his impeachment in 1999.

[Beckwith]

I blame Saul Alinsky and his acolyte, Hillary Clinton.
