Kennedy Dead

Discussion in 'Politics' started by Arnie, Aug 26, 2009.

  1. You know, I forgot the sob cheated at Harvard.

    Best line was, a comedian who commented he went to JFK High, where all they did was drink, do drugs, and womanize. He said they should have called it Ted Kennedy High.

    Now, we're gonna change the law of succession in Massachusetts that Teddy wanted when Kerry ran for President with Governor Romney. Since Patrick can appoint, Teddy wanted it reversed.

    You can't make this stuff up.

    There is a march on Washington on 9/12. Glenn Beck lost his advertisers, but got 3 mm viewers. Somebody is going to die. This is going to turn very violent. People feel disinfranchised - again. This time, they know there is no answer in DC but bad ones.

  2. It comes as no surprise that the radical left sees no problem with this appointment. It was only a problem when a Republican was the governor. Now it's perfectly reasonable for the Dem governor to appoint someone to an elected office.
    Surely some leftist loon will point out some similar situation that happened with a Repub. That's not the issue. The reaction, or lack of it in this case is the issue. Something happens with a Repub and it's OMFG, we can't have this. It's an outrage! Dem does the same thing, and it's laughed off as politics as usual. This is the hypocrisy of the left and their media mouthpieces.
    You are correct in stating this will end badly at some point. The oppressive nature of 21st century liberalism cannot stand. Whatever the Dem party once was is gone and has been replaced with the fascists now known as "progressives".

    And Bill, you asked. This is from someone involved in the case:

    "Thanks to Judge Mary Lupo (big Kennedy fan and fellow graduate of Georgetown) the three girls mentioned who had become lawyers and doctors themselves were not allowed to testify under the Williams Rule. They were obviously too credible and their testimony would have resulted in a conviction."

    Ted Kennedy was a horrible excuse for a man.

  4. Oh, 1951 to 53, John Wayne Teddy served in the honor guard in Paris.
    -------------------------

    Served in the honor gaurd after getting expelled from Harvard for cheating.

  5. gotta hand it to Harvard. You know Pa was there with a checkbook. They did let him back in, though.

    Here's something. Has anyone, anywhere, ever seen a quote from the Koepechnes? You'd think, maybe in 1980 or so, Gramps would have gotten a little liquored up at Thanksgiving and spilled the beans, and a second cousin once removed would have said something. Must have been a huge wad of cash with more clauses than the North pole.

  6. You are one of the dumbest fools there is. FYI, Ted Kennedy voted AGAINST the Iraq war, so if everyone else voted like him there would be no guys cut up by IEDs. That is just a thought.

    Everyone knows that kennedy name is one of privilige but each brother actually did something positive for the less fortunate.
    It would not be the first or the last time political connections kept people out of certain wars W would be the most profound example, yet enough morons think of him as a tough guy and a good C-in-C.

  7. "During that time, which records indicate took about ten hours, Ms. Kopechne remained in the water. Two amateur fishermen, who came across the overturned car about 8 am, the following morning, called authorities, who immediately sent a diver to investigate. During testimony at the subsequent inquest, the diver said the woman's body was huddled into a spot where an air bubble must have formed. His interpretation was that she had survived in that bubble "for at least two hours down there." Furthermore, he concluded that, had he received a call soon after the accident, "there is a strong possibility that she would have been alive on removal from the submerged car."

  9. As I have watched the tributes to the late Senator a common phrase is used while describing his life...he wasn't perfect. One could argue that's a tad bit of an understatement. While he did some good things and had quite a record of public service, some of his "less than perfect" indiscretions caused great harm.
    I'm curious as to whether those on the left would be so quick to give a pass to others as they have to their favorite son.
    The senator was a catholic, a religion not without it's own "less that perfect" history. I'd guess most of those child molesting priests did some good things for their community, comforted many people throughout the years, all while doing some serious damage to their fellow human beings. Do they get the same pass those of you on the left have given to Teddy? How's about all those Repub politicians you have crucified for their "less than perfect" indiscretions?
    Let the crickets chirp.
