Kennedy's response, that it would be a conflict of interest, PROVES his interest is one of destruction of his own country.
Kennedy inhabits a state that has as #1 on it's agenda, POWER, POWER, And More POWER. The two fit together like 2 peas in a pod...
And yes, I am quite certain he(& Kerry) would very willingly destroy this country in order to obtain more POWER...
Ted Kennedy must live with tremendous guilt for all the unearned wealth he has in trust from his father. He must be filled with self-loathing and self-centerdness. His hatred for his country is an expression of his hatred for himself. His drunkenness and sexual exploits are the drugs he uses to dull his hellish reality. And when his life is over he goes to Hell. That is of course if he doesn't repent of his sins which are vast. "For what will it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? It is more difficult for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven than it is for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle". Repent or perish, Ted Kennedy.
