Ted Kennedy gravely ill

[talloola]

Kennedy's aren't concerned over struggling citizens...Kennedy's are concerned over their image.

That is incorrect, and only proves that you have never taken the time
to follow their true lives through time at all, it is 'only' what you like
to think of them because of their faults.
Other than being elected to office, the kennedys do their good deeds
quietly, it is the 'media' who make sure they hover around them, but
usually only when something negative has happened, never something
positive.

It proves nothing of the sort. Kennedy's do what is best for Kennedy's. They flaunt laws, the environment, etc.

They live by their own rules and often pay the price. Unfortunately at times others pay the price as well.

Do their good deeds quietly! Oh please. You haven't seen any "Joe for Oil" commercials up there have you?

We've stated our cases, not going to haggle over this particular issue or that,
as I'm sure if we dig deep we can both keep on putting forth opinions and
issues,
you've not changed my observations of the Kennedys over many many years,
and after reading some books on the family,
and I'm sure I've not changed yours, so be it, that's the way it goes.

My points are here for all to see, that's what is important to me, a broader
look at issues, not a narrow one, and that would apply to many many different
things, as there are so many one sided, narrow minded opinions, and along
with those, should be the other side of issues, I've done that, people can read
each, and figure out where they stand, or take the time to delve deeper into
the subject.
Have a good one.

There is some truth in what you say, Talloola. It was one of J.F.K.'s sisters (possibly Eunice) who was instrumental in starting the Special Olympics on account of their sister Rosemary. I guess every dynasty is a magnet for the "dog in a manger" types........can't stand other people being successful. But I still don't profess any love for Teddy.

 

[eh1eh]

Is he dead yet?

 

[JLM]

Is he dead yet?

I don't think so unless he died the same day as Michael Jackson.

They've done much for special olympics, and improving the lives of intellectually
challenged children as a whole, along with maria shriver as well, and rose
kennedy participated in that cause early on as well.
No, no one has to love teddy, but he has a good side, has done good for others
for many years, just wanted to make that clear. He isn't a horrible person, who
had gone through his life cutting down everyone around him. He made some
stupid decisions long long ago, and has lived with that every since, my that
must be 40 years ago now, 'just guessing'.
He is a very popular senator in his riding, is elected easily every time.
Everyone blamed him for his 'poor' wife being so unhappy. Well, she was an
alchoholic, that was her choice for herself, so they both had a drinking problem,
which led to infidelity and heavy partying,
no different than many regular families, who have tragic marriages for the
same reasons, and it goes unnoticed by the press, while everything they did was media fodder.

He's not gravely ill anymore. Hopefully, he'll apologize to Mary Jo.

 

[mit]

Interesting man - A True Oxymoron in politics. The last of a dynasty. RIP

 

[ironsides]

He is dead.

 

[Unforgiven]

Rest In Peace Ted.

 

[lone wolf]

He's not gravely ill anymore. Hopefully, he'll apologize to Mary Jo.

I think he's been doing that since 1969....

Rest in Peace

Not one of us gets out of this alive.

RIP Senator

 

[Spade]

Not one of us gets out of this alive.

RIP Senator

Nope, eventually we all walk the dusty trail to the compost of history.

 

[talloola]

He was not perfect, nor are we, he worked hard and now he can rest, good-bye
Ted Kennedy, you made it much further than your brothers.

 

[coldstream]

A complicated life, with graces and demons.. an advocate for the disadvantaged.

requiescat in pace.

 

[shadowshiv]

Rest in peace, Mr. Kennedy.

 

[SirJosephPorter]

According to CNN, he suffered from a very rare type of brain cancer; it affects only about 10,000 people every year.

He's not gravely ill anymore. Hopefully, he'll apologize to Mary Jo.

Surely not. According to your theology, Kennedy went to Hell, Mary Jo went to Heaven.

Surely not. According to your theology, Kennedy went to Hell, Mary Jo went to Heaven.

One could hope.....
