I realize his official name is Edward Kennedy, however everyone has called him Ted for last 70 years. Today every news network calls him Edward. It's like the Twilight Zone.

That's right colpy, lets stay accurate. Sure he had his mistakes, but I notice many
cannot think of anything about Kennedy's life, but that, he moved on, just like any
person who has behaved poorly and caused such a problem, and he has done so many great things through his position as senator, but no one on this forum ever
notices that. I'm sure glad there is some forgiveness in the world, and everyone
isn't like that, as we sure aren't perfect, but life goes on, and the world keeps
turning, and people need help, and 'he' helped hundreds of thousands through his
efforts as a senator, as did, and still are, other kennedys.
It seems it's all about the money, many resent others have wealth, they are still
just human beings, just like the rest of us.

I notice that. I just don't think those things negate his actions or his unwillingness to accept responsibility for his acts. Are you going to talk nicely about OJ when he dies just because of how good he was on a football field? Chappaquiddick says volumes about the mans integrity (or lack thereof). I understand how you wish to minimize this because you agreed with him politically but many here aren't ideologues and can see him for what he was.

He was the first one to endorse Obama, which paved the way of electing the least prepared, least qualified and least patriotic American to the highest office in the United States, in history.

For that he can NEVER be forgiven.

Re: YukonJack—Least Prepared, Least Patriotic

For that he can NEVER be forgiven.

Please do elaborate on your charges that His Excellency the Honourable Barack Obama, President of the United States of America, is any of the things that you mentioned above. His Excellency has been president for just over seven months, and the administration has seemed quite prepared to tackle the issues of the day—not the least of which, a push for much-needed health care reform, and the goal of closing the disastrous institution at Guantanamo Bay. I would suggest that the latter alone proves His Excellency’s dedication and patriotism for the United States of America, as an attempt to restore the United States’ fundamental principles of justice (which had been so completely abandoned by the president’s predecessor).

Indeed YJ, he will never be forgotten by Democrats, for being one of the first prominent politicians to endorse Obama, who lead them to a smashing victory in 2008 (coming on the heels of another smashing victory in 2006, it was nothing short of miraculous, normally when a party wins an overwhelming victory in one election, there is inevitably some pullback in the next election).

Kennedy will never be forgotten by Republicans, for giving USA its first Nazi, Fascist, Socialist, Communist, Muslim president. So either way, Kennedy will be remembered by USA for a long time to come.

Nope, eventually we all walk the dusty trail to the compost of history.
I think that would be dust to dust, ashes to ashes and earth to earth as we get to walk that lonesome valley. Or (meaning no disrespect to anyone)it could be that the answer my friend is Blowin' in the Wind since so many people no longer are interred.:-?

FiveParadox, the the American Presidency is an EXECUTIVE office. For an executive office one would expect to have some EXECUTIVE experience. Hussain Obama has NONE. Therefore he is the least prepared person ever elected to that high office. And supported by an equally inept and executivelly challenged Vice President who would not be able run a hot dog stand.

In his seven months in office he tripled the Bush deficit, decried by blind Bush-hating liberals.

His Health care plan - that he never wrote, never read, never understood or comprehended - is not supported by his minions in the Democrat party. If it were, they/he would not need anty Republicans, since - due to the largesse of the blind American electorate - he has majority to to run everything thru.

Anyone who wants to turn a country - that achieved greatness and wealth based on capitalistic principles - into a socialistic, Cuba, Zimbabwe, Soviet Union style morass is the shining example of unpatriotic, treasoneous turd that should be stopped by whatever means possible.

Not only for the sake of America, but for all thre freedom-loving nations in the world.

Comparing him to OJ, is insane, he didn't do what he did deliberately, he didn't
plan to knife two people to death. comon on now, that is stupid to compare
the two, and mean.

Indeed, he will never be forgotten. This beached whale of a mistaken for a human being will, forever be remembered as a pustule on the body of humanity.

''A true american hero???? Give me a break. He was a murderer who got away with it. ''

I think you got him confused with someone else who said there were WMD in Iraq and that there was an imminent attack about to take place.

It doesn't look like this thread is going to die soon so isn't it time someone either changed the name or started a new thread. This man is no longer gravely ill.

He did what he did. OJ did what he did. Neither accepted responsibility. The comparison is valid. As I said, I can understand how some ideologues have a problem with that but it doesn't change anything.
