She founded the Special Olympics. A pretty good deed for one life.

Hopefully she will live so she can finally know the truth.

Of course, that's setting the bar pretty low.

Good thing she doesn’t have “Obama Deathcare” or she would be dead already. Oh I forgot, the “beautiful people” and their extended families will be EXEMPT!

To her credit, while I dislike her daughter Maria, especially as First Lady of California, Maria does participate in many Special Olypmic events here in California, tending to her mother’s legacy.

I know it is gauche, I know it is wrong, I’m sorry I have thought it. But just about everyone here one has taken my thoughts to keyboard. It is too bad Obamacare wasn’t in place when Teddy The Swimmer got his treatment for a brain tumor, ‘cause we wouldn’t have to put up with his crap NO MO’.

What this Kennedy did in founding the Special Olympics is noteworthy! What she did was really truly something good for others, to provide a means for those who otherwise could not participate in sports activities a means to feel and enjoy the success the non handicapped do.
Bless her.

While I am sad for her family and Eunice did good in her life, she also stood beside Teddy and campaigned for him all through the years.

I suppose family is family, but if my brother were a murderer I would have a hard time endorsing him for office.

"Good thing she doesn’t have “Obama Deathcare” or she would be dead already."

As would her husband, Sargent Shriver who is said to suffer from Alzheimer's, and no longer recognizes his wife.

Ted Kennedy is one of the sponsors of the obamacare bill. He is also one of the politicians responsible for clamping down on European immigrant quotas and giving them to the Third-World countries. We will be better off when he fades away.
