Question about Senator Ted Kennedy?
481335
Ted Kennedy is widely known, and has been for many years, to be a drunk and a philanderer.  \n\nDuring one of drunken episodes he encountered a young woman, Mary Joe Kopechne, at a party.  Being the kind, helpful, humanitarian, solid citizen he was, he offered her a ride.  \n\nWhile crossing a small bridge the car he was driving ran off the bridge and landed in the water.  In an extreme example of cowardice, rather than do anything to save the woman's life, he ran and hid away until he sobered up.  \n\nAs a result of his cowardice, Mary Joe Kopechne drowned - she did not die of crash related injuries, but drowned.  This indicated that with any effort at all, it was very possible to save her.\n\nKennedy was more concerned with the negative appearance yet another example of his drunken womanizing would have on his political career than he was with saving a young womans life.\n\nNow you can see why the rest of the country (except the ignorant liberals) has absolutely no respect for the voters of Massachusetts for having the arrogance as well as the ignorance for continuing to vote for him.  You can also see why the conservatives have absolutly no credibility for any of the statements which drool from his hypocritical, alcohol drenched, lying, mouth.\n\nI guess as a state,when all of your major contributions to a society occurs 350 years ago or longer, you hang onto any form of notoriety you can get.

Your right, I'm sorry to say.  Ted Kennedy who the American people have honored for so many years, it's coming out how he is selling us out by his fantasy politics.  Yes, it was he who in 1965 got the ball rolling for where we are today with the colonization of America.  He will be a powerful senator as long as he lives.\n\nWhen Ted stopped loving his country and others more, I don't know.  I'm sorry to say his legacy will not be that of his brothers.  Even if he dies somewhere between 20 to 50 years from now, he will be credited with our next civil war by colonization.  His brothers will be remembered for stopping communists from our shores and fighting crime for the better of America.  Ted will be remembered as the one who opened the door and fell asleep and America will have to fight for her independece once again.\n\nMexico should start erecting statues for him right now if they haven't already as the politician that welcomed colonization with open arms and will lead them to victory, not us.

He is no longer a congressman, as of January 16th. The district's offices are still open and staffed until the vacancy is filled, and their contact info is at the site below.\n\nEdit: Sorry, didn't realize he had become Senator. You can e-mail him at the site below. They prefer not to receive direct e-mail.

Every time I see that guy I think about Chappaquiddick!\n\nAfter the wreck (car off bridge, late at night, female passenger died by drowning) Kennedy got out of the car and water, walked miles to friends house, got cleaned up, rested, and his lawyer called the police in the morning. They eventually determined that he was confused! \n\nI wonder how many confused men and women are incarcerated, who were confused?

You liberals are CRAZY if you think that Kennedy is emulated by ANYONE in the modern Democrat party.  Kennedy was a TAX CUTTER and an American patriot - there is no modern day Democrat that would EVER even THINK about cutting a tax for anything let alone actually vote to cut a tax. To today's modern liberal - that would be giving up power to their stupid minions by giving them a say on how they spend their own money.\n\nNice try libs - but you guys will emulate America haters like Hanoi Jane and Cindy Sheehan before you will ever emulate a tax cutting patriot like JFK...at least until your party finishes imploding - then you guys will probably all kill yourselves...

Too many ways to list.  That was considered the end of innocence of America for our, now older, generation.\n\nSomething people forget or don't know, Kennedy was an absolute hit with America, and they loved him to no end and today, many programs and thinking came out of him, such as the Peace Corps.  However what most people forget is how much he was unpopular in Congress and could get very little legislation through.\n\nHe would never stand for colonization, and would find a way to combat it without firing a shot.  Keep that in mind when the day comes when our leaders will have to start facing their mistakes.

Like father like son.  Fortunately, Ted Kennedy's son got stopped before he killed somebody.  Too bad the same can't be said for his father.  To answer your question, they will keep getting DUI's, maybe kill another girl, and keep getting reelected by democrats.

My understanding is he sponsored a funding bill for development of the internet.   But I don't remember the particulars.\n\nI think he got overexcited and overstated a legitimate accomplishment.  If he had said "Since I've been in the Senate, I've been involved with internet related legislation on a regular basis.  One of my proudest accomplishments was sponsoring XYZ bill, which enabled (whatever the heck it did for the internet)" then he would have been fine.  But he didn't.\n\nHe tried to backpedal because he realized that he looked like a horse's ass...just like anyone does when they realize they've stuck their foot in their mouth.

He's an ambulance chaser. Those aren't good values. His experience is 1 term as a Senator. He couldn't carry his home state in a general election.

He is for all intents and purpposes part of the executive branch. He is mentioned several times in Article Two of the constitution, the executive section. His position in the Senate is largely ceremonial and he very rarely casts votes there and never takes part in the debate on the floor.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963), often referred to as John F. Kennedy, JFK or Jack Kennedy, was the 35th President of the United States. He served from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. A member of the politically prominent Irish-American Kennedy family, he is considered an icon of American liberalism. During World War II, he was cited for exceptional bravery rescuing fellow sailors in the South Pacific. Kennedy served his home state of Massachusetts in Congress 1947-60, as both a member of the House of Representatives and as U.S. Senator. He was elected President in 1960 in one of the closest elections in history.\n\nMajor events during his presidency included the Bay of Pigs invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the building of the Berlin Wall, the Space Race, early events of the Vietnam War, and the American Civil Rights Movement. In rankings of U.S. presidents, historians usually grade Kennedy above average, but among the general public he is often regarded as among the greatest presidents. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963. Official investigations later determined Lee Harvey Oswald to be the culprit. His assassination is considered one of the most defining moments in U.S. history because of its traumatic impact on the entire nation, its impact on the political history of the ensuing decades, Kennedy's status as an icon for a new generation of Americans and American aspirations, and for the mystery and allegations of conspiracy that surround it.

A very astute observation, and definitely a major problem for the Democratic party. I think that's why Hillary Clinton has been trying to present herself as more moderate. She's not.\n\nIf John Kennedy were alive today, I imagine he would be treated much like Joe Liberman.

Well, he wasn't necessarily more successful. He had a longer period of time to do so than did Kennedy, for one.\n\nBut, I think that he was so successful because he was a ruthless politician. He was one to use force, to use intimidation, to push people around to get what he wanted. He was a "down in the trenches" politician who understood the "old boy" politics system well.\n\nKennedy, if you remember, wasn't a natural politician in the sense of really understanding politics (his good looks were a big part of this). He had his father, his brother Bobby, and others who did a lot of his political thinking. He also had his rich family to fall back on.
