Ted Kennedy Dead At 77

http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/08/26/obit.ted.kennedy/index.html

*** my life. :( I was really hoping he was just asking for a senate replacement seat while he was under-going treatment and would somehow recover over time, even if not returning to his seat. His sister and now him in the same month, I feel so *** bad for the Kennedys and Massachusetts.

I'm pretty sure this wooooshed half the forum.
I've never cared for Ted Kennedy. His most recent flip flopping of his own law he made for replacing his senate seat is a long list of things I dislike.
But Alas. This will be on the news all tomorrow long the President will say something even though he is on vacation, and the repubs will say how great he was and how much they liked him.

You think so? I thought Ted was pretty notorious since he's like the last notable and relevant Kennedy.

Politics aside it's just really sad given the family practically being *** cursed. I think your last statement is exactly on the dot, though. Politics are really horribly predictable now.

That sucks ; ;

I think what Ludoggy was trying to point out is; not every one is American and the rest of the world really don't really know (or care) about the detailed make up for the US politics.

Who is in charge, and a little bit about what they are planning is enough for us.

But I have loved seeing some of the stupid *** comments about the public healthcare debate.

I took it more as american FFXI players as generally being young adults that are unaware of their political atmosphere. Either way the woosh is probably accurate.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032608/ - Old interview of Ted Kennedy on Meet the Press with Tim Russert on the front page atm; miss him too. D:

He dedicated his life to increasing the power and scope of the American governent over its citizens. I would never be glad at anyone's passing, but I will not miss his politics one bit.

Good job Ted & Co with the the budget deficit and runaway spending.

Piss off Roark, you have no idea what you are talking about, our major budget deficit is because of rep's war on terror and drugs over the past 20 some odd years, this man dedicated his life trying to insure that all American's had certain freedom's and rights. Did you vote when you were between 18-21? Thank him he gave you that right.

As little as I like politics, I have respect for him. Especially as the last Kennedy brother.

And for the record, BOTH sides (dem and rep) are talking about how good of a person he was.

I did not vote until I was 21 just to spite Ded Kennedy.

Please do not tell me to piss of for expressing my opinion. The war on drugs caused the deficit lol. You are an angry little stoner are'nt ya!!

I don't hate him nor do I love him. I just remember most about this man was he was a CHEATER and got kicked out of Harvard because of it.

Mary Jo Kopechne (July 26, 1940 – July 18, 1969) was an American teacher, secretary and political campaign specialist who died in a car accident on Chappaquiddick Island on Martha's Vineyard while being driven by DRUNKEN United States Senator Ted Kennedy. Kennedy was never charged and never paid for his crime - until this morning."

Let the hero worship of a murderer begin.

He will be missed.

OK. I think we need some lefties in here.
I see a Newt and a protect the secret ballot ad!

I swear to *** god some people find a way to ***on every thing imaginable. Where did you get your details from? A *** *** email subscription that reports all these things as facts because it's convenient to smear him? I can only imagine a religious-right "grassroots" organization is spreading that around this morning given all the #obamacare hashtags and the coordinated movement of "Mary Jo Kopechne could not be reached for comment." I'm so totally *** sure every *** who didn't like Kennedy pulled this random story out of their *** all at once in holy congress for the purpose of smearing someone that served 40+ years of his life in public service. Elected, that is. Blame Massachusetts?

As far as the actual story is concerned, yes it's something to show concern over and question the details of since no one will really know, but using it as a convenient smear-tactic for a dead senator throws any credibility out of the window. This is exactly why no one takes any other claims by crazy *** seriously. (muslim sleeper cell president or anti-christ, whichever serves your own means best) You give no space for error or fault. No, these are surely facts that you totally researched yourself and came to this conclusion on your own, not influenced by anyone. Show respect for a dead woman by not using her as a martyr to smear someone for political and social gain.
Rush Limbaugh was behind this? *** shockerrrrr.

Told ya so.

ehhhhhh its more like manslaughter then murder =\

ok

I keep reading this thread title as Tekken 7 when i scroll past. D: Tekken 6 isn't even out yet how can tekken 7 be dead!

Roark Do you have any idea how much money we've spent on the war on drugs since it's started? the federal government spends $17 billion per year fighting drugs, at this point the feds have spent $13,137,720,065, all the states combined has spent $20,166,400,301 this year. just this year, we've been doing this for the past 25 years.

That isnt exactly something good to label on the Right seeing how some on the Left like the Clinton's support it.

12 years out of the last 40. Yep totally fair to blame the Left just as much.

I ordered a soup and you ordered a steak. Should we split evenly the bill?

Theres your argument.

Agreed.

Okay the man's dead, dying sucks, we all do it. We can discuss how bad/good he was, what he did/didn't do or how much we love/hate the man but the bottom line is no matter how much hot air we spew out it isn't going to change a damned thing that's going on right now.

Personally screw him, didn't like him much any way. Secondly no I don't vote and YES that gives me the right to *** when people who do vote, vote morons in to office or say "yes, lets do away with something good even thought it might cost us some money over the long run" (ie school programs like music.) Supposedly the argument is "You didn't vote, you can't complain because you didn't vote for the guy who would have done better." ,and to that I say "meh" because voting is crap and I'm willing to bet that our votes really don't count. Now a days elections are a televised event not unlike what a WWE event is like. Suspense, arguments, drama the whole nine.

What was my point? Crap... forgot... ummm, bomb that guy.

No not an angry person you suck. Ted helped a lot of people. an example is this I know families in mass who were having trouble getting relatives from another country to USA. Some people would write a letter and ted would approve and help out. He has done a lot... no one including republican said a bad thing about him.

We and I feel we will never have another senator like him :(. Only if he did not get brain cancer.. I swear I'd go back in time and make sure he would not get it. Thats how much Edward T Kennedy is needed.

Also I did no like your joke.. ded kennedy? grow *** up.

He probably did not murder that girl in he car with him... you heard what happened right retard? he drove off a bridge into he water and got him self out. Even me if this happened to me I can save my self and probably would report it so late... why?

my cell phone would be freaking wet... and it's not like i'd not try to save who's in the car with me. Dude stfu.

seems like you did not know the guy at all I am from massachusetts... sounds like you are blowing air.. and do not know ***about politics.. post of the people in here also..

And more flames from Stanflame.

I am sorry but people here piss me off. When they do not know about someone. If kennedy's did not exist who is it these so called people talking ***would be hounding? I want to know...?

The guy died... he was a good overall person. We are *** that he died the way he did.

besides that the people calling him a murderer are probably the same people who were saying micheal jackson did what he did to those 2 kids....

I know how it feels to be accused of doing something you did no do... So i will defend people who are innocent.
