It's not like Ted made a lifelong career of publicly drowning people.Cooter said:

Yeah but alot of the people who thought it was in bad taste to attack Falwell in that thread are the same ones who are outraged by the people attacking Kennedy in this one.

To answer this question, it's damn nice to see those that would imperil the future our country diminished, but at the same time it's important to ensure that proper socialist reforms occur at a rate that the American people are comfortable with. I'm sort of worried about overplaying the hand, even if the cards dealt are very, very strong.
what did the kennedys ever do to you to make you HAPPY to see one die? Jesus Christ manscitek said:

exactly. I remember massive bannings of those who were happy with Fawell's death, sadly this thread will likely end up with massive bannings ugh. Teddy deserves better than this.

Mods, regardless of what the person did in the past, this is a sad thread and I urge you guys to Issue permaban warnings on individuals trying to derail the purpose of the thread

I don't want the guy to die at all. I may not agree with him on much but he can compromise when he wants something done.
This may be too soon to ask but who is likely to replace him should he become too disabled to continue to serve in the senate?
I can safely assume the govenor will apoint a liberal democrat should he retire mid-term. I guess a better way of saying this is: Who is the most popular politician in the state who isn't in the senate?

Thanks for your long years of service Ted. If I were you, I'd wrap up some things and take some time off.
But it would be nice if you can make sure to vote for the GI bill that is coming up soon.
Just for kicks, I went to the freeper site to see what they were saying . . . the topic has been created and locked up 3 times due to so many terrible people saying terrible things.

seriously, though, ted kennedy spent basically his entire senate career trying to help out people who would otherwise have no voice-minorities, immigrants, children, homosexuals, and the poor.
Even if you despise poor people, hate gays and lesbians, and are a total racist, you can at least support the abstract notion that his actions were noble, I would think.

I hate to be a Ted Kennedy apologist (I think he's a sexist scumbag, though he is a great senator), but Teddy didn't murder anyone. At most, he's guilty of vehicular manslaughter or negligent homicide, and certainly obstruction of justice. Not that it's not horrible what happened, but he didn't hold Mary Jo Kopechne under the water in a bathtub. He drunkenly ran off the road and swam out of the submerged car; she didn't. Then, because he's the son of freakin' Joe Kennedy and all the benefits and liabilities that entails, he didn't report it immediately. There was never any chance to save that woman. Didn't we have a thread here where people confessed that they didn't think they could risk their own lives to save another? Neither could Teddy.

Well, I just took a look and I'm kinda surprised I didn't say anything nasty about Falwell.Stoney Mason said:
Like the fact that he was pals with Lester Maddox, fought civil rights and called them "civil wrongs", he supported Aparthied and had campaigns to help it out, blamed 9/11 on gays, liberals, pagans(?), etc.
On Ted . . . . well, it is too bad he wasn't driving a Volkswagen. (I post this in good humor . . . I am a fan of Ted Kennedy and much of the work he's done.)

Either of Ted's sons will probably be his successor. Patrick is already a Rep. from Connecticut and Ed was already eyeing a congressional seat

I think that Volkswagon ad is from National Lampoon, before anybody goes nuts about it.
RFK jr. might too since hillary will be remaining in the senate most likely (he wanted her seat if she won which is not the case).grandjedi6 said:
Either way its going to be a Kennedy. There is going to be a kennedy in that seat (JFK before Teddy) till after all of us are long dead I suppose.
I'm fairly confident that he will serve out the rest of this year unless he's really, really unable to, but will resign at the end of this year. There will be a special election held to fill his seat and RFK Jr., who has been looking at likely Senate runs in NY and CT will almost certainly run and win.Dr. Kitty Muffins said:

He might have just filled some gay people with enought guilt that they killed themselves. And he supported the Aparthed regime that did brutally kill people. Those were intentional acts as oppose to the unintentional car accident.Cooter said:

Prognosis is 12 months to 5 years generally.sangreal said:
you guys saying that he "killed" that woman, are you saying it was intentional? This is a serious question, I always assumed he was negligent and irresponsible about the incident. But were there actual allegations that this was murder? What would the motivation have been?

Oh man, I'm so sorry to hear this

Nobody said he killed her. He fled the scene to avoid being caught drunk. It's pretty obvious.
Again, fellas like cheebs need to chill out a bit. If you're going to talk about the man's life, this is going to come up. It doesn't make you a "right wing wacko" or however you put it. It makes you fair. Do you think the media is going to stay away from that topic? Have they ever?

You just have to be a resident when elected. So all they have to do is buy a random house or move into Ted's place and they are all setGaborn said:
