Why The Lion of the Left Was Right

[presently no screen name]

If they listened this weekend to all Senator Kennedy was able to accomplish in his remarkable life

I didn't watch any of the ceremonies, so I missed hearing all he accomplished. Can anyone fill me in on what he accomplished for America?

[Travis McGee]

Where’s the thermonuclear barf alert???

[Venturer]

Lord :please let it mean the end of the Camelot era and the end of the Kennedy’s in politics.

[SaraJohnson]

The only compromise Kennedy was involved in was “progressing” centralized power and the far Left’s social agenda and culture. McCain loves compromising in that direction.

Where was all wise Moderate leader McCain as the Banks were passing out loans to people who could not afford them in the name of expanding home ownership? He was “compromising” with Teddy, Bawney and the Congressional Black and Hispanic Caucus to crash the banking system. He should have been raising hell about this scheme and stopped it but rescuing the country would have been immoderate.

Where was moderate man when the Congress was spending like drunken sailors when Bush was in power? Where is the moderate now that Obama has wracked up a most immoderate deficit of 9 trillion dollars?

Moderate means never rocking the Left’s Teddy Love Boat so Meg does not spill her champaign.

I fully expected that the spawn of Juan McInsane would find the Swimmer “larger than life.” True, he was quite large, but I don't think his obesity is what she was referring to in her remarks.

The Swimmer was an evil man. I do not see how anyone can have a sense of camaraderie with someone you know is evil, unless you also have the same traits.

Don’t you have anything better to do with your life than this?

[dynachrome]

Lordy, did you see this?

Growing up, I remember my father often speaking highly of Senator Kennedy...

F U, Meghan. F U, Juan

[rabscuttle385]

No, I didn’t. But this definitely deserves a massive barf alert.

[VRWC For Truth]

It was obvious that Senator Kennedy understood the importance of family and balancing those duties with the complications of political life.

Complication like driving women off bridges, accessory to sexual shenanigans, and public drunkenness. Have another Bud Lite Maggie. You're brain dead. The swimmer was a self-serving azzhat.

“F U, Meghan. F U, Juan “

Yeah, I’d say that about covers it;-)

[Deagle]

Just another of a long series of stupid comments from the daughter of a professional politician!

When will we learn that politicians are NOT to be voted into a lifetime job! We have to figure a way to get them out of office before they tend to think that they belong there.

They actually think that they are doing something good for America when they continue to vote other peoples money for their own ideas of what’s good for America. Until we begin to despise politicians instead of worshiping them, they will continue this downward spiral.

When you let these professional politicians become entrenched, even their offspring think that they are part of the political elite. If we can’t at least vote them out of office (hard thing to do with all of their privileges), at least we can keep from enthroning their offspring.

What is becoming of our America... You would think that we elect only those from the elite families - Kennedys, Bushes, Clintons, etc... Please folks, get these elitists out of office and let’s get back to the ideals of the original Constitutionalists - part time legislators.

Can you imagine the good that that would do for our legislature! Look longingly to the yesterdays of a locked up legislature. No laws, no damage...

If they actually both agree then, it is almost surely a good law...

[AmericanSphinx71]

I wonder if Teddy and Chriss Dodd ever tried to make a “Meghan Sandwich”.

[antceecee]

Meghan just shut up and eat your Cheetos!

[MaggieCarta]

Whenever people ask me if I want to run for office, my answer is always no.

Thank heaven for small favors.

[driftless2]

"inspires"

I hope it inspires them to never get in a vehicle with a Kennedy. Not even an elevator.

[MaggieCarta]

I remember meeting the senator when I was---well, never you mind how old I was---old enough to remember the experience. He was wearing the best cologne scent I have ever smelled. (And, it wasn't poured on just to cover the scent of alcohol--trust me, I know of such things)

In addition to the aforementioned incredible scent, he was surrounded by a really, really, really large group of people, which I can only describe as a "caravan." Most of them smelled like opportunists.

Well, sure, even if I finished this story, it doesn't make as compelling reading as MeggieMac's story. So, I'll stop...

[TADSLOS]

Meghan, if you really want to be inspired, be at the U.S. Capitol on 9-12, and as your daddy sez- SIT DOWN, LISTEN and STFU.

[VictoryGal]

Is this woman even a Republican?
