Ted Kennedy for all his faults as a human being...and we all have faults...spent his years fighting for the rights of the disadvantaged, the poor and the elderly...
And what is wrong with that? Nothing. It is far more laudable than fighting for the haves and have more's who are plundering this country.
He made a point of attending the funeral of every soldier from his state that died...
He spent four years of his busy time helping inner city children to learn to read...
His family made a point of going out in mass and thanking those lined up for hours to pay their respects...
He helped his constiuients whenever he could and often anonymously.
For all his flaws and yes there were many...he was still a decent man who spent his life in service to his country when he could have kicked back and lived off his wealth and not given a rats ass about anyone but himself...
But he didn't.

With that attitude I wonder what kind things people will say about you?
That you were compassionate and caring?
I doubt it.

Ted Kennedy and the entire Kennedy family are a perfect example of what's wrong with US government. The family has produced absolutely NOTHING and has spent their entire existence in politics and they are all millionaires sucking off the people of the US. Kennedy is the perfect example of a career politician and why Senators should be limited to 4-8 yeras and NOTHING MORE!
