Saturday, July 23, 2005 12:03 a.m. EDT Gitmo Troops Rebuke Ted Kennedy
During his inspection tour of Guantanamo Bay this week, Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy got an earful from U.S. troops running the facility, who blasted Kennedy for his anti-war statements and similar comments by other Democrats.
Soldiers from Kennedy's home state gave him "a piece of their mind," Pentagon officials told the Washington Times Bill Gertz and Rowan Scarborough.
One official said that Kennedy "got a stiff reaction from those home-state soldiers. ... The troops down there expressed their disdain for that kind of commentary, especially comparisons to the gulag." Hawaii Democrat Daniel Akaka, who visited Gitmo along with Kennedy, reportedly got a similar reaction.

One freeper has a tagline that says something like: "More people have died in Ted Kennedy's car than at the Gitmo Prison!"
It's true.

"The Swimmer" - neck brace - dived repeatedly into the cold dark water trying again and again to rescue the poor pregnant intern - in water that was more than 4 foot deep and a rushing current - to no avail. Exhausted he went to his hotel and had a night cap - vowing that the next day after breakfast he would report the incident to the local authorities.

I guess you ask the same question about Pennsylvania, especially Philly.

There are three constituencies that elect the Dems in Massachusetts.
1. The poor bastards that sold their souls to the Democratic Party for a job.
2. The little old ladies that still have a picture of JFK in the living room.
3. The liberal jerkoffs that come from all over the country to attend one of the prestigious universities and then decide to settle; Barney Frank, for example.

Heck, let's face facts. Freepers know what's happening in the world before the MSM can even get their phones turned on. :) With a host of opinions that allow one to make their own informed decision. Contrary to MSM, which gives you one opinion, expects one to receive it as gospel, and marginalizes as fringe, those that don't believe it.

funny that the Boston Globe didn't have the story about FatBoy's trip to Gitmo.../s
and that Howie didn't have a story in the Herald...I didn't have a chance to listen to him on Friday, so maybe I missed it, but this story is his red meat...
I think the only person who could bump off FatBoy for 2006 at this point is:
Howie Carr.

This is why the first thing the Dims want to go after at
election time are the military ballots.
They know that most Marines, soldiers, sailors and air force folks are their biggest fans.
It's why it's up to us at home to see their votes get counted.

I understand why you may think that; but no autopsy may also have been to cover up a struggle she could have had with him.

That is what happened with Hitlery when she ran in NY. The MIL ballots went down someone's socks.
