  Clearly no one ever taught you not to speak ill of the dead. This guy served his country as a politician most of his life he deserves everyone’s respect for that, regardless of your political affiliation. I find it morally repulsive that before he is even cold in the ground, you are trying to use his death to score political points. I think you were trying to say that “every cloud has a silver lining” because in his death has made socialism in America less likely, try telling the man’s family that.

  Well Alien, even i though you would have gave it a week or so before you posted about him, not that I am a fan of any kennedy, seems to me people have short memories or maybe just selective memories when it comes to the Kennedy clan, maybe because it is the closest thing to a dynasty america has ever had.
   
  as for that media bias, sorry still dont see it, they left ronnie alone on his death when all the astrology, womanizing crap could have been brought up.
   
  regardless of all that, you have to give kennedy credit for remaining true to his politics, right or wrong he didnt waffle like so many today do from bothnsides of the isle

  Yes, I will give him that -- he was not a waffler. He was a Socialist through and through, but I figure he was trying to make up for all the mistakes he made.

  ... you are trying to use his death to score political points ...

  You must have me confused with the Democrats / Socialists. They are the ones poised to use Ted's memory to railroad their stupid plan through to law, which really does not matter. They will be out of the driver's seat before you know it and sensible legislators, including sensible Democrats, will begin disarming this timebomb. Hopefully before too much damage is done.

  Who's Ted Kennedy?

• somethingunUSual said on Sep 01, 2009....

  Come now Alien, you'll miss Teddy like William Tell would miss having an apple to shoot of someone's head; like a whale would miss water; like Alka Seltzer would miss indigestion. Without enemies, who are we?After all, you write far more about negative things than positive, right?
  

• ALIENated said on Sep 01, 2009....

  He was kind of a doughnut hole to me. The "nothing" at the center of things. I will miss him like I would miss a doughnut hole. He was not my enemy, but I think he was everyone's enemy including himself. Why was he even allowed to be a U.S. Senator? He was everything that most liberals despise in the rich ... supposedly.

  I won't speak ill of the dead, but neither will I miss this guy.
  
  Personally, I think there ought to be term limits in the House and Senate. It does us no good at all to have voting blocs so entrenched that the likes of Charlie Rangel keep getting sent back to misrepresent New Yorkers.
  

• ALIENated said on Sep 02, 2009....

  Term limits. I wish. I think they should be able to stay a while, so we have some experience, but not more than maybe eight years, like the president. However, I tend not to try to second guess our founding fathers. It is like those guys were devinely influenced when they set up our form of government.

• javadewd said on Sep 03, 2009....

  Term limits would be nice... But then again how do we impeach a dictator?

• ALIENated said on Sep 03, 2009....

  Usually some other country does it for you. Or you have a revolution.

• javadewd said on Sep 03, 2009....

  We should send the gays... Or the environmentalists... Right now they both hate Obama!

• ALIENated said on Sep 03, 2009....

  Everyone hates snakes. Well, nearly everyone.

  Unless anyone is a snake, then eh.
