Does Ted Kennedy Have Alzheimer’s?
You might think I am joking but there really can not be many other reasons for what is coming out of his mouth. The man is just doing to much damage to his own party for this to be a well thought out attack on Bush. His rhetoric is so unbelievable that especially in context with the history of his family; he should know better.
When he calls Iraq a quagmire he is of course relating it to Vietnam which is ironic because his brother did have a quagmire on his hands in Vietnam. It was created more by the likes of liberal politics than lack of military capability. The liberals are trying to do to Iraq as they did to Vietnam, they want us to abandon other people’s chance at long term freedom, they just want us to run.
Did people like Ted Kennedy and Barbara Boxer free any body from tyranny? Have their treaties and tea parties every resolved the end of the horrible leaders this world has produced? No! Horrible men have killed millions and millions of people and Ted would never be on the front line to stop it, instead he belches high octane steam through is blow hole spouting ridiculous lie after lie. He must believe his lies have legs but they have not since he swam away from Mary Joe.
It is time for Ted to go, his normal thought process is spent!
Your history and memory of his brother having created the "quagmire" in Vietnam which was followed by both Ted and Bobby leading the charge to abandon our friends there to a horrible fate does hit part of it. But, people should also remember that his father, Joe Kennedy, was also an admirer of Hitler and favored appeasement of Third Reich. If I'm not mistaken, Ol' Joe was recalled from his post as Ambassador to the Court of St. James at the insistence of Winston Churchill who, almost single-handedly, stood against the Nazi onslaught until help could arrive.
There needs to be a full unveiling of the lies and deceit and actual crimes carried out by and for the entire Kennedy clan going back well over 100 years. If Fat Ted will please continue to lead his name into infamy, perhaps it will facilitate the unmasking of the whole sordid family.
It's not Alzheimers....it's just that Teddy Kennedy is an evil, murdering traitor.
Amen!
A whole lot of enabling going on!
....A tad harsh, don't you think?.....
Perhaps.
However, he's bad, very very bad. He must be considered with different rules than the others.
He provides aid and comfort to our enemise and to consider his demise is within bounds.
All the people who keep putting him in the Senate should be institutionalized.
He's got somethin', it's nasty...and has apparently invaded his brain.
Alcoholzeimers.
But, his attacks on the war are merely an example of a bitter, angry left-wing loser desperately attempting to come up with some kind of attacks that will result in his party regaining power. It's just another example of how out of touch with reality Kennedy and Dumbocrats are.
The democrats are stuck in the 60's. Their problem is the Nation has moved on and grown up. Only the DUmmies still live in the 60's.
Ted Kennedy has alcoholic dementia. His two older brothers, Jack and Bobbie had "can't keep my pants zipped up" Bill Clinton disease.
