    2. Senator Kennedy is trying to bring our troops home. He recognizes the foolishness of going to Iraq in the first place and he is trying to bring our boys (like my son) home!I would give him my thanks and the highest rating I could!

    9. Hard to believe this person did no time for Chappaquiddick. He also was secretly negotiating with leaders from the former Soviet Union secret police (KGB) to help undermine a sitting President Ronald Regan. As well, he passed along technical details to members of the KGB.

    Quoting Wikipedia :

    “A KGB file describes Kennedy in 1978 trying to help a close friend, former Sen. John Tunney of California, get some business in the Soviet Union.

    Yevgenia Albats writes:

    ‘In 1978, American Senator Edward Kennedy appealed to the KGB to assist in establishing cooperation between Soviet organizations and the California firm Agritech, headed by former Senator J. Tunney. This firm in turn was connected to a French-American company, Finatech S.A., which was run by a competent KGB source, the prominent Western financier D. Karr, through whom opinions had been confidentially exchanged for several years between the General Secretary of the Communist Party and Sen. Kennedy. D. Karr provided the KGB with technical information on conditions in the U.S. and other capitalist countries which were regularly reported to the Central Committee,’ ”

    Teddy has been hard at work to undermine the security of the USA. Go quickly ted

    10. You know if Ted Kennedy could do just one more thing for this country before he dies I hope he can co author legislation for the much needed “OJ LAW”. He was one of the pioneers with vehicular manslaughter and aggravated homicide and getting completely away with it by hiring the best attorneys in the country. Many restaurants where I have vacationed on Cape Cod for 30 years tell him that he can eat there if he pays cash and first clears his outstanding bill. He is a dead beat and a murderer. Why the people of Massachusetts continue to vote for him is a sad fact of life in America. Most Americans have never read a book after high school. Like our current President. A friend of mine told me once “the good ones die young”. That is why Pol Pot and Ted Kennedy made it to old age.

    12. What an icon in American politics… it’s hard to pick a place to begin. You know so many people focus on the Chappaquiddick “incident” and forget that we need voices like Ted’s to help us to decide what is right and what is wrong. He represents the people of Massachusettes and they elect him over and over again because they believe in him. Look, he may have never done a minute in jail for the alcohol related vehicular homicide of Mary Jo Kopechne but he did pay for the crime. He paid cash to her parents in the form of a new house worth almost $200,000. I’d say that was a whole lot more than OJ paid for cutting his wife’s head off. So he is a good man and a good Senator. And even if he had 50 Chappaquiddick “incidents” I think the people there would continue to elect him because his brother was the President and that’s really worth something afterall.

    13. Sen. Kenedy and his other buddies are ruining this country and should be working for our U.S. citizens before doing anything for the Illegals.
    I would be happy if they all QUIT and let an American take over

    19. You know most people caught cheating at Harvard would be told to leave. Ted Kennedy was caught TWICE cheating at Harvard and they graduated him! That’s the kind of politician America loves. Someone who can work within the system and under the system and around the system to succeed.

    23. How can they say he is a champion for health care when he left that girl to die in the car….were was her health care!!! He cheated at school his dad was involved with the underworld. He did not earn his title on his own merits but on the coat tails of his crooked father..This guy is not a hero, he is from a world of the upper class that has brain washed the masses. So when you speak of him get all the facts behind his history…
