My stepdad called it MONTHS ago that whoever took the DIM Primamry would be sabotaged at every turn by Team Hitlary. She HAS to have a clear field in 08. Too bad 80% of US Men HATE her and that Guiliani will kick her blubber butt into the stratosphere.

The Dims need to be understand this: Murdering campaign workers, murdering Vietnamese civilians, lying about heroism medals, and hiding rapists in your beach mansion ... these things QUALIFY YOU TO BE LIBERAL SENATOR FROM MASSACHUSSETTS


And it does not make any difference whether you are their senior or "junior" senator!!!

[Hildy]

Out of all the joints in all the world...he had to roll into that one!

[FredZarguna]

Everything interesting HH has ever said is summed up in about a 30-second sound bite. No need to read his idiotic rants and 'philosophy'. And the fiction is Dreck, with a capital 'D'.

SWL=screaming with laughter!!!

"...they work for Hitlary Clintoon."

We happen to agree on this point.

"Then you need a new book."

Sorry, but I dealt with felons for over 23 years, murderers, rapists, you name it, so I see perps and their crimes a little differently. Ted Kennedy might have been let off without any charges because of who he was. The least he should have been charged with was criminally negligent homicide or even involuntary manslaughter, and he should have done prison time. He let a human being slowly suffocate to death only because he was worried about his political career. When you deliberately allow someone to die because you are afraid your life's goals will be effected, to me that's murder. That might not be what the state accepts as the definition of murder, but to me it's definite and deliberate murder. The last thing I knew, I was at least still entitled to my personal opinion on the matter. Damn the liberalness of the State of Massachusetts, who has no concept of what human life is worth. And damn Ted Kennedy who allowed an innocent life to be destroyed for his own selfish desires.

Imus also might pick up on this story. I saw part of his show yesterday. Kerry couldn't have come across worse.

Sad viewing!
BTW the year that john sKerry was in Cambodia???

[N. Theknow]

Was he going to speak at the local Oldsmobile dealership?

[UsnDadof8]

As it turns out, the town they had him stumping in was Mary Jo Kopechne's hometown

And people wonder what's wrong with Kerry's campaign ? The answer apparently, is that Dems are by and large very stupid people.

[Fishface]

Do you have a definition of "vehicular homicide" handy?


Let me help:

vehicular homicide: killing someone with an automobile.

killing someone=murder.

[Fishface]

Good One!!! LOL

Here are some facts about Ted Kennedy, and one question.

First the question, Ted, you were 18 years old in 1950, that means you were old enough for either the draft, or enlistment in the military service during the Korean Conflict, did you join, were you drafted, or did you use your priviledged circumstances to avoid going?

Now for your driving records.

Senator Kennedy's Driver's License had Expired

- Senator Kennedy's driver's license had expired on February 22, 1969 (nearly 5 months before the accident) and had not been renewed.
- Although driving with an expired license was only a misdemeanor, it did provide the evidence of negligence needed to prove a manslaughter charge in the death of Mary Jo Kopechne.
- The license problem was "fixed" by officials at the Registry of Motor Vehicles, under the direction of Registrar Richard McLaughlin, before the legal proceedings began.

Ted Kennedy's Driving Record:

- Ted Kennedy had a record of serious traffic violations. Their nature formed a pattern of deliberate and repeated negligent operation. Particularly bothersome was a June, 1958 conviction for "reckless driving."

- On March 14, 1958, Deputy Sheriff Thomas Whitten had been on routine highway patrol outside Charlottesville, Virginia, when an Oldsmobile convertible ran a red light, sped off, then cut its tail lights to elude pursuit. A license check revealed the car belonged to Edward M. Kennedy, a 26-year-old law student attending the University of Virginia. Kennedy had previously been fined $15 for speeding in March 1957.
- Whitten was on patrol at the same intersection a week later, he testified, "And here comes the same car. And to my surprise, he did exactly the same thing. He raced through the same red light, cut his lights when he got to the corner and made the right turn." Whitten gave chase. He found the car in a driveway, apparently unoccupied. Looking inside, he discovered the driver, Teddy Kennedy, stretched out on the front seat and hiding. Whitten issued a ticket for "reckless driving; racing with an officer to avoid arrest; and operating a motor vehicle without an operator's license (Mass. registration.)"
- Kennedy's attorneys were able to win numerous postponements, but eventually he was convicted on all charges and paid a $35 fine. Court officials never filed the mandatory notice of the case in the public docket, however, and Kennedy's name had not appeared on any arrest blotter. Instead, a local reporter discovered the case when he spotted 5 warrants in Kennedy's name in a court cash drawer.

- Three weeks after his trial, Ted Kennedy was caught speeding again, and still operating without a valid license.

- In December 1959, Kennedy was stopped again for running a red light and fined $10 and costs. In Whitten's view, "That boy had a heavy foot and a mental block against the color red. He was a careless, reckless driver who didn't seem to have any regard for speed limits or traffic ordinances."

---

- The offenses in Virginia had occurred on Ted Kennedy's Massachusetts driver's license, but mysteriously neither the Registry of Motor Vehicles nor the office of probation in Cambridge had any record of the out-of-state convictions. Had it been revealed at the inquest, the Senator's history of negligence and reckless driving would have been further evidence to support a charge of manslaughter in the Chappaquiddick accident.

Manslaughter in Massachusetts :

"Any person who wantonly or in a reckless or grossly negligent manner did that which resulted in the death of a human being was guilty of manslaughter, although he did not contemplate such a result." In other words, negligence in exposing another to injury by doing an act, supplied all the intention the law required to make a defendant responsible for the consequences.

- "It's automatic in Massachusetts when a person is killed in an accident for the prosecutor to bring an action for criminal manslaughter." ~ Joseph Gargan

- Less than a week after the accident at Chappaquiddick, the Oregonian (Portland, Oregon ~ 7-24-69 ) reported an accident in Salem, Oregon, in which a car crashed through the chain on a ferry while crossing the Willamette River. A passenger riding in the car had drowned, but the driver escaped from the car and swam to shore. The driver was charged with negligent homicide.

It's too bad Kerry's boat was in Cambodia and Mary Jo wasn't a hampster. He could have gotten another purple star.

Further evidence that the Kerry campaign is firing on all cylinders.

Ted just would not wear the hat.

"He did not murder her!!"

That may not be correct. I am not sure about the state this occurred in, however, if she died as a result of Ted committing a crime (DUI, fleeing the scene of an accident, and failure to provide aid at the scene of an accident), that death, intentional or not, may be considered murder. The classic example given is that if I rob a store or bank, and during the robbery, Mr. old guy has a heart attack and dies, I am guilty of murder. Most states I know of, the crime has to be a felony. But I also know that in some states DUI is a felony. A guy I went to High School with went to prison for several years for accidentally killing someone while driving DUI. I really don't see a difference here. Ted should have spent time in the slammer not on Capital Hill.

George Killen , the State Police Detective-Lieutenant who investigated the accident, said that Senator Kennedy "killed that girl the same as if he put a gun to her head and pulled the trigger."
