Like all good liberals he thinks he's emulating Robet F. Kennedy, who had he lived would probably be more like Zell Miller then Ted Kenndey,

Jack and Bobby Kennedy were interested in a concept which is out of fashion in some circles - "toughness". Thus John Kennedy portrayed himself as being tougher on defence than Nixon. Bobby Kennedy was part of that administration; I have little doubt that he would have shared at least some of that viewpoint.

Ted obviously drank away whatever fortitude existed in the Kennedy clan and helped turn Massachusetts from the home of Paul Revere into that of the blithering, mindless liberal.
