THE TRUTH HITS CLOSE TO HOME---Can't Repubs say "Mary Jo Kopechne?"
NY POST ^ | 1/28/06 | EDITORIALS

THE ISSUE: Sen. Ted Kennedy's membership in Harvard's all-male Owl Club. Picking on the ponderous Sen. Ted Kennedy is like picking only the low-hanging fruit — it's too easy......

*** ....when he first ran for the Senate, Kennedy's opponent said, "If your name was Edward Moore, instead of Edward Moore Kennedy, your candidacy would be a joke"........ the joke has been on us. Paul Bloustein Cincinnati, Ohio

*** The person responsible (for Teddy's dog Splash's name) may well be Ted's old friend and occasional nemesis — John Barleycorn. James Ring Ossining

*** Now that he's become a leading anti-Republican attack dog, positioning himself as Washington's leading arbiter of truth and integrity..... It's time to say the name "Mary Jo Kopechne" out loud. Bill Morin Vernon, Conn.

being a Boston Irish kid that grew up in a Democrat union household, I have been a conservative since college.

So have I. My story is similar to yours. My dad was an Italian immigrant who became a naturalized citizen. He was a blue collar worker all his life. He was a member of the machinists union and voted Democrat until late in life. I never was a Dem.
