Should Ted Kennedy be in prison?

Yes.  The question doesn't ask about the Bush Family.  Some people want to say that he shouldn't be because someone else got off.  Does this really change the fact that Ted Kennedy killed a person while driving drunk?  Maybe lots of people should be in jail for things they did, but this has nothing to do with Ted.  Ted KILLED someone and should have been punished for it.  Just because other people got off doesn't mean that a he should too.  It doesn't make any sense trying to justify a guilty man going free because other guilty men have gone free.  Does It?

Even if you didn't turn in a terrorist, your name could be on the no-fly list.  A terrorist thought it would be cute to use the name Ted Kennedy until the feds started to close in on him.  Now Senator Kennedy must undergo a thorough screening before he is allowed to conduct business on behalf of America.\nMoreover, if you could have turned in a terrorist but didn't and their bomb killed children...\ncould you live with that?

He has done horrible things - beyond belief - in his lifetime.  He used his power to kill and rape and murder.  But I do not believe in capital punishment.  It sickens me that people are happy that somebody - anybody will hang.  Should he be punished for his crimes?  ABSOLUTELY!  Should society decide if somebody will live or die?  No.  \n\nAnd if you want to get into the whole "prisons are crowded" discussion - I think our prisons in the U.S. (don't know about what goes on in other countries) are ridiculously plush.  Schools to learn new trades, weight rooms, bastketball courts, large screen TV's, ping pong tables.  Put prisoners in a cell - allow them to walk or run laps in a court once a day - allow the illiterate ones learn to read and write - and give them bland food.  If our prisons were horrid places to go - the prisons would stop filling up.  It's wrong to kill people - but it's not wrong for them to have consequences in a harsh manner - as long as it's not cruel.

I'm sure he is a repug - those people are the most hypocrite of all.  \n\nEverything that they hate in others they commit themselves.  I think he should be jailed!!

Stanley Tookie Williams ought to have been granted clemency. Putting him to death served no purpose and the execution was carried out only a few weeks before the California Legislature begins debating a moratorium on all executions in the state for several years. Mr. Williams did some dreadful things, but others have been convicted of worse, before and since Mr. Williams was sentenced and not been condemned. Capital punishment, which I oppose on principle, was imposed on Mr. Williams not because of what he was convicted of but because of who he was and when he was convicted. That he was put to death makes a mockery of the ideas of redemption and rehabilitation.\nNo, he should not have been executed.

I think so.  He thinks he's a Kennedy.  Like anyone gives a flying squirrel about his views on politics!

Only if he was a lawbreaker - it was considered the harshest sentence in the book. \n\nCheers!

I agree!! He should be put in jail along with ALL the traitor libs that are undermining the war on terror!! He is probably the one who leaked classified information to the NY times!! It would definately make the war run smoother.. Anyone who undermines our president should be locked up!!

I don't think he should be held responcible for what others have done. I think he should be impeached, then arrested and tried in a world court for his crimes against humanity for starting and unjust war in the first place, and then keeping prisinors off shore without due process. If convicted he should be sentenced to life in prison without parole.

He should be locked up. He is dangerous. Are you writing from the U.S.? Aren't the jails overcrowded there? Maybe this is why he couldn't be jailed.

Not good enough.\n\nHe should be tried for treason and the proper punishment meted out.

No, I don't agree.  No matter what he did, he needs complete therapy and maybe needs to stay in a mental hospital for a good amount of time but I don't think he should go to jail for the rest of his life.

Once convicted and sentenced they should be sent to the 'hard core' prisons, not the 'country club' prisons that most who have been sent away go to. That certainly would set a terrific example to any politician contemplating\ncorruption.
