Kennedy did much of the dirty work in Washington, but he had considerable help. In 2004, Sen. John Warner, the Virginia Republican, added a last-minute rider to an urgent Iraq War funding bill that forbade the Army Corps of Engineers to spend money permitting offshore wind projects.
"Warner was dragging American troops into the Cape Wind war," Williams and Whitcomb noted. The outcry forced him to back down.
Why did Warner care so deeply about a wind-energy project in Massachusetts? Some of his fabulously wealthy relatives own choice waterfront property on Cape Cod. That's why. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2007/09/why_liberals_are_turning_on_te.html

Yeah sure, liberals are turning on Ted Kennedy right up until the time a Republican runs against him. Then he’ll be St John the Kennedy’s younger brother again.

I'll believe this when I see Ted Kennedy lose either a primary or general election.
Until then, they love him.

What...???
Ted is refusing to give classes on CPR, again?
The Miss America contestants volunteered as units on which to be performed? Ted wants all the Miss America contestants for himself?
Says he will share with Bill only?
I should have known......
What we have here is another Bill to the taxpayers, and Ted claiming everyone should ride in his car, over the bridge and look at the water.

I’m surprised to learn that the guy is only 73! He looks at least 10 years older, and if I ever thought about it, I would have automatically thought he was somewhere in his 80's.

The source of unhappiness is Kennedy's efforts to kill an offshore wind farm on Nantucket Sound. Not the fact that he killed a campaign worker during a boozy weekend? Not the fact that he's a drunken elitist who is corrupt to the core? Not the fact that he has preyed on the naive awe of Massachusettans for half a century? THIS is what it took for the Left to finally see this blowsy mediocrat for what he is?
I guess I'll take their enlightenment where I find it ...

Yeah, and when I look back to what this POS tried to do to Reagan with using the KGB on him, I am sickened by the fact that Reagan is gone, and this vile trash is still in our midst.

I know why Ted Kennedy opposes offshore wind farms. When Kennedy dies, he’s left his liver to the local power company. They’ll be able to burn it for 50 years in order to create cheap electrical power to all of Hyannis.

Ditto, not even 1/1000 the man Reagan was....

Why can’t Democrats grow spines and be for the working man again? Not try to develop the United Socialist States of Democratic America?

Thanks IJ — you took my words.
He is one vile POS. Can’t belive people have been
idolising and voting for him all of these years.
To: AmericanMade1776
Notice how Kennedy’s nose looks like someone tried to light it, thinking it was his cigar?
