Whatever your opinion may be of the things that Ted Kennedy promoted, he was effective in fighting for them. Many of us should be as effective.
Aside from the matter involving Mary Jo Kopechne, I do not recall hearing that he was provably involved in outright crime, graft or corruption.
And he spent many years participating in the United States Senate. We need many good people, with right principles, who will serve our country in the Senate for as many years as Ted Kennedy held office.
His passing is undoubtedly a loss for his family, and they have my sympathy.
He should have been in prison, not the senate.
Aside from the matter involving Mary Jo Kopechne? You gotta be kidding me.
You don’t recall hearing he was involved in outright crime, graft, or corruption?
Well ok then.
So Ted Kennedy was good people and served with the right principles?
I feel for his family as losing a loved one is never easy and I’m sure they loved him.
However, I won’t pretend he or his family were/are good people who care about this Country and its people.
He killed another person and got away with it. He then spent countless years in the Senate (has he ever had a job?) destroying this Country and chipping away at the Constitution. Yep we should all be as effective as him.
He was effective in lots of negative things and I won’t pretend he was sone great person just because he’s dead now. I’m sure his family and friends and lots of other people mourn his death. I ain’t one of them. I hope the “Kennedy legacy” aka power in our government dies with him.
He fought against repealing the estate tax. Let’s see just how much of his money was sheltered from the tax man.
He also fought against medical savings accounts.
He did not live as he demanded his public live.
Search the memos he wrote where he revealed himself to be a racist as well.
He outright blocked Bush’s judicial nominees BECAUSE they were Hispanic. He saw it as possibly helping the GOP so he denied these men appointment strictly on the basis of their ethnic heritage.
It’s in his own writing. He got flustered when someone found them on a public server accessible to government employees. But it doesn’t change what he wrote to activist groups.
Very nice.
Now run along and join the rat party. To give that disgusting pile of bloated manure praise for anything disgusts me as a conservative.
Best guess is that he was DUI at the time of the accident, and that is a crime.
Oh, and leaving the scene of an accident is a crime, duh! Excusable if running to the nearest phone to call for help, perhaps in time to save the poor girl, but quite the crime if leaving in the hopes of avoiding involvement.
