Ted Kennedy implemented 2500 bills while in office, he fought for womens rights, civil rights and the rights of all human beings to live a descent life.
Yes, he was involved in an accident in which Mary Jo was killed, she was already dead he could not save her, this could have happened to any of us.
As far as abortion goes, there are 500,000 children in the Foster Care system, as a Foster Mom I’m MUCH more concerned with the children that are already here then the ones who are not, to whoever you killed Mary Jo is: how many Foster children have you taken into your home ever?? Thank you Ted for giving us women the right to choose..

^ by Joyce Carol Oates is ostensibly about Ted Kennedy and Mary Jo Kopechne. Its a powerful read. Family and power are the realities of our life here in America. But; to compare the horror of that incident with the barbarity of the present President is to lose all perspective. I will not cast a stone there; however, Ted Kennedy has been one of the few to speak (powerfully) against the insanity wrought upon us by the barbarians (Bush/Cheney) who have broken through our gates! Ted has not been given an easy death. There are few deaths worse than this visited upon him. Thanks Ted, for what you have done for America.

If this the only thing you have to say about Senator Kennedy, you could have spared us your despicable comments!

Oh boo frikin hoo, maybe the scumbag will run into Mary Jo Kopechne who he killed, or the millions of dead infants which died through the abortion efforts he championed on his way to hell. Burn in hell Ted. They’ve got a special niche carved out for you.

A Heart-Felt Sympathy!
I am neither a friend nor foe of Ted Kennedy; but I always admired his courage and fighting spirit for the causes he advocated. I do pray for his recovery if that’s possible and may he have courage combined with ease in facing this deadly challenge!
And thank you Ted Kennedy for your legacy in advocating liberal and progressive policies!
