The greatest living legend.Ted Kennedy with all human frivolities, is a man of great courage and integrity, he is a man of conscience, may god grant him long life and he live to see the “FIRST BLACK OR WOMAN PRESIDENT.”

Shame on you, you sick individual. I’d wager that you call yourself a christian too.

^ 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!
