Ted Kennedy is a vile POS

[John McCain]

No 'worship' of FDR was implied but he was the right man for the times,most government types of the time refused to help the common man in his quest for survival during the depression and if you chose to call putting a man to work socialism have at it .

If your grandparents/great grandparents are alive ask them about the times just before WW2 and what they had to do to survive.Socialists of today are just interested in expanding their power base through more government spending and bringing America to its knees.

Kennedy was the topic of the original post and no finer example of government control through federal giveaways exists in America today.Everything from the infamous Boston' big dig' to expanding the Democratic voter base through amnesty for those who infiltrated America en mass to the expansion of 'hate crimes'to protect some of his biggest doners.

My grandfather worked for Dupont from 1934 to 1980. My other grandfather had his own farm and was a carpenter on the side. Neither of them ever got any kind of new deal handout. The depression, contrary to popular belief, didn't cause everyone to get in the bread line.

That nails it. LBJ would be jealous of Teddy. But still no reason to kick him when he's down.

You are right. I suppose I should change my ways and wish all murderers well.

He may have been a coward - but I don’t think he was convicted of anything. But that’s just the law.

She hates yankees especially big, fat, crooked, liberal,socialistic,baby killing,scum sucking,pig faced,fagot loving,Harvard Yankees.There, I think I hit everything ?

You did leave out 'cheating'.
Remember he was kicked out of Harvard for cheating, and until Papa Joe Kennedy donated a ton of
money they always had a life long rule of never being able to return.
Papa Joe's money made them change that rule to a one-year expulsion.

Besides that I think you pretty much described the POS in question.

Not entirely correct. Kennedy pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident, after causing injury. He was sentenced two months in jail, suspended. He also lost his license for one year. This constituted the mildest possible slap on the wrist by a state government that was all but a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Kennedy family.

As for the rest of Teddy's character, I recommend The Senator, which was written by his former chief of staff. It's a memoir of ten years spent working for Kennedy and chronicles some truly repulsive conduct.

BTW, OJ wasn't convicted of anything. In the eyes of the law, he's not a murderer. In the eyes of anyone whose optic nerves are connected to their brains, he is. Poor prosecution doesn't free the rest of us from having to make moral judgements.
