If you think American politics have gotten nastier, crueler, and more symbolic over the last 20 years, blame Ted Kennedy.

Ted Kennedy’s America already exists - it’s called Cuba.

Ted Kennedy's legacy is one of divisiveness, anti-Americanism, elitism, arroogance and corruption...while pandering to lemmings who did not even recognize the chaines they were being bound with.

Ted Kennedy was a hyper-partisan demagogue who skirted the law with inherited wealth and a family name. He committed treason by colluding with the Soviets against Ronald Reagan. He betrayed his faith by supporting the barbaric practice of infanticide. He hypocritically supported environmentalism while fighting windmills that would devalue his real estate.
He was a drunk. He was a commie. He was the worst of America.

If anyone could be blamed for the “politics of personal destruction” it would be Ted Kennedy.

The liberals blame Lee Atwater. Did Lee and Ted know each other?

He was a drunk. He was a commie. He was the worst of America. And he, champion of the proabortion feminists, left a young (possibly pregnant) girl to suffocate to a horrible death.

The way that the Kennedy boys turned out makes ya feel sorry for his mom Rose(I heard that she was a decent sort).

Now watch for the media to spin Chappaquiddick as a CIA plot with George Bush Sr. at the helm to frame innocent Ted. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

When you look at today’s selection of judicial candidates, look no further than Kennedy’s character assasination of Robert Bork back in ‘87.
Since then, judicial nominations have gone down hill. No nominee will dare say one thing about their judicial philsophy. Any questions that are answered by the nominee are couched in the most vague terms.
No nominee, whether they’re chosen by a Dem or Rep President, wants to go through what Robert Bork (and Clarence Thomas later) went through.
The coarsening of our political debate, whether it be discussing judicial nominees or Cap and Trade, was the direct result of Ted Kennedy and his ilk.
