Ted is dead

"An important chapter in our history has come to an end," Obama said. "Our country has lost a great leader, who picked up the torch of his fallen brothers and became the greatest United States Senator of our time." Barack Obama

the greatest? really? i guess that whole Mary Jo thing makes
no difference.... how soon we forget (or try to make others
forget) Ted Kennedy lost my respect after Chappaquidick (sp?)

good luck with your "life's review", Ted

I feel the same. He was allowed to go on despite the Mary Jo incident he got away with.

He learnt his place quickly and did his upmost to fill his pockets from the trough of greed that permeates the halls of Washington. Never was he to be the equal of his brothers who gave their lives for the chance to better mankind.

So true NB.

Oh I probally pissed a few off again in P/A but I heard someone say rest in peace and how he more or less was a "good person"

To each their own but people tend to "forget" and "forgive" people without even knowing one iota of what the man has done.

I am saying this. I hated the things that man did. I hated the things his family stood for. I loved the things that the true heroes of the Kennedy family that I know of.....John, Bobby and Bobby II. that is my opinion

I'm sure that obama will run on the health care bill with this leverage.....if you can call death being that. But what ever works

Sorry, at one time, I thought all the Kennedys were saints but guess I grew up

Yeah, good things are bad and bad things are good. What a sick world these types have created.

yes Exactly right.

I do understand a little bit more of what is going on and I slip once in awhile but I'm human, I think????

got a littl ein me anyhow

You think? You always make me smile mn

A loss of life is always terrible.

Kinda like all those thousands of men, women and children killed in the Bush-Cheney Oil War.

the count is way over one million now Gabriel, it is so sad and hard to comprehend how anyone can do such a thing.

Didn't know it was that many Sally, it's always hard to comprehend.
