“but I think there’s another part of his life that very few people know, and that’s his deep faith. His very deep faith in God and his love for his family,” Tarrant said.”

His faith must have been deep............subterranean

[Da Coyote]

Funny how Ted finally realized what the public thought of him.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I agree with Ted this time.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Tarrant, who was called to Kennedy's bedside late Tuesday as the senator was dying, said it was clear that Kennedy was ready for the journey that awaited him.

I hope he's taking his Nomex suit since it's going to be really hot where he's going.

“Funny how Ted finally realized what the public thought of him”

Ted to America: “ I know what you must think of me”

America: “ But we don’t think of you”

[Steve Van Doorn]

What took him so long? Wasn’t he an advocate of assisted suicide?

[CougarGA7]

So he and I were in agreement. I wanted him to go too. (at least out of the Senate)

as the world mourned Massachusetts' senior senator,

Correction: the world, minus one.

All this fluff about his religion and deep faith reads like a satire. I could be wrong, but he seemed to be his own god in many ways. How else could you consistently vote against bans on partial-birth abortion, among many other things?
Ted Kennedy was a blessed man. Many, many people don’t know when their hour of reckoning is approaching. He knew. He was given that chance at repentence and forgiveness. Did he take it? Who knows.

Funny how Ted finally realized what the public thought of him.

And now he knows what Mary Jo and millions of babies think of him.

[Vigilanteman]

Did the Priest put a coin under his tongue to get him across the River Styx? He should have. Ted Kennedy was a far better pagan than he was a Catholic.

“He did want to go to heaven.”

Fat chance!

[Luke21]

I love these gushing tributes the libs write when one of their’s passes. I swear they have it all written up in advance. “The world mourns.....” Give me a freaking break.

He wasn’t Camelot, gang.

[Boiling Pots]

Too bad Mary Jo didn’t get the same opportunities...

>> Sen. Edward M. Kennedy died in peace with his whole family praying around him

One at each corner of the pentagram?

[KarlInOhio]

"The truth is, he had expressed to is family that he did want to go. He did want to go to heaven. He did want to die and he did want to go. He was ready to go.

He was able to get a year more to be with family and friends after his diagnosis before he made that decision. That's a year more than someone of his age and health history but with a different last name would be allowed to have under Obamacare.

[TheClintons-STILLAnti-American]

"Sen. Edward M. Kennedy died in peace with his whole family praying around him"

Were they praying to a picture of Obama?
