End of the line for Patrick Kennedy - BostonHerald.com

The end of what was once called Camelot.

Son of the late Ted Kennedy, (D-RI) Congressman Patrick Kennedy has decided to call it quits and will not run for re-election. His disproval rating is at 60% in the other Blue State Rhode Island and he was going to face an uphill battle against a Republican so he is quitting the race.

The purge is on.

Oh, oh...even Patrick could see writing on the wall. I am a bit surprised that the purge is taking place so quickly in "blue country." Interesting.

And we were just talking about Patrick yesterday and he provided this to us.

The bottom line is he was going to lose and he knew it. The Democrats knew it. I would guess that they approached him and said...

"Patrick, it's over. You aren't going to win. Step aside so we can at least have a shot at putting a Blue Dog Democrat in that seat."

The King is dead. This is reminiscent to the days of old when a King dies and the guards go into the family chambers to dispatch the idiot son as well.

Ha, ha. This is the end of the Kennedy dynasty, isn't it?

Who knows. I wanted to put that down here myself but they have a lot of money from bootlegging and swindling.

Knowing New England if one of the younger Kennedy's step up and have a brain people could miss the old days.

It is the end for the sons and daughters of the brothers (John, Bobby, Teddy) and sisters of Joe Kennedy Sr. They spent their lives in alcohol, drugs, and living off the Kennedy name.

But there is a purge going on in the Democrat Party for weak incumbents.

Finally the world will realize that the Kennedy's - one and all - were and are nothing but licentious, drunk, overrated descendants of a criminal bootlegger, whose only virtue was that he never got caught.

Once the Kennedy's lost their Irish Catholic identity, and both his father and he became staunch supporters of abortion, and things like homosexual marriage and open homosexuality in the military, and all other forms of post structural societal deformation.. while at the same time supporting all of the New Age ecomomic paradigm of Free Trade, monetarism, deregulation, free markets (with the exception of health care), which has led us to economic collapse.. it was just a matter of time before the gilt veneer of Camelot wore off to expose, a very opportunistic, undistinguished, conventional legacy, at least for the last 35 years.

It's no big loss, Camelot is a myth perpetuated by an increasingly jaded and compromised liberal establishment and media. It's been a bag of air for decades.
