I think Kennedy is a despicable person simply because of his politics.
That is more than enough.
To repeatedly attack and accuse him years on end over a tragic accident is cheap and low IMHO.
I don't understand how you can just 'drop' that???
If someone had done something about it when it happened, it would have gone away along time ago. He killed a girl. He got away scot free. He at least deserves to reminded of it until he dies.
Yeah, and I suppose Monday Night Football should bring O.J. back too. He was a pretty good commentator. /sarcasm
If you were the driver, responsible for the death of a young woman in your car, you'd probably still be in prison.
His politics should be enough to sink him.
But they are not.
In fact, his politics saved his drunken worthless @ss from prosecution. A prosecution, I might add, that would have likely put any of us in prison.
Get over your being tired of this issue. If that is a rallying point for kicking his drunken worthless @ss back to his crime family's compound, then it is relevant and worth revisiting until he is dead or gone.
"To repeatedly attack and accuse him years on end over a tragic accident is cheap and low IMHO."
I agree wholeheartedly. However, when old Teddy flaps his gums to tear down everything decent and moral about our great country, including our Commander-in-Cheif.......well, then it's open season on everything!
Interesting point of view. :) Just wondering.... even if the young girl happened to be your sister or daughter? Just wondering........
The circumstance under which she made this remark was during a discussion of a "Bad" Catholic. Mike Reagan said a Catholic who supports abortion is a Bad Catholic and Ann said, "Or somebody who kills a girl at Chappaquiddick."
She didn't say Teddy's name at that point. So all Catholics who have killed girls at Chappaquiddick are in deed and in fact "BAD CATHOLICS."
Stigma is only effective if it is attached.
Why is it "low" to confront him on this? He has been given a free pass on a murder. He is in public-respected-office.
To me, attacking this subject is a HIGH CALLING.
He'll always be the Chappaquiddic Kid to me.

The reason it is repeatedly brought up is Kennedy thunders like Elmer Gantry at real and imagined shortcomings of republicans, he is always on the attack, accusing this repub than that one of being somehow immoral. Yet this man, left his girlfriend hanging from her seat belt upside down in water, and dissappeared for 12 hours, while he sobered up and put a story together. He got a 30 day suspended sentence. 30 days! I utterly despise him....how dare he lecture anybody..
You're right, because after all he has shown an extraordinary amount of remorse over his "mistake". /sarcasm
Tell that to Mary Jo Kopechne and her family...
I'll agree with you to a certain point.
If only swimmer lard ass Ted would stop making pronouncements and lying about the Bush administration, acting like he possesses a scintilla of moral authority, I'd probably stop mentioning that fact he is a murdering coward piece of human fecal matter
Yet, you chose to take the time to post a response on this thread. Sounds like you're a masochist.
Maybe you wouldn't get so ill if Teddy had left your sister to suffocate in the backseat of his car and a sack of bootleg money on your back porch.
It may have been a tragic accident when the car hit the water, but what happened after Teddy got out turned into a calculated plan..

Uh, I think the point is that Kennedy continually attacks everyone who disagrees with him for any reason. There is a saying that anyone who lives in a glass house shouldn't throw stones. Not only does Teddy live in a glass house, he tries to preach from a pedestal on its roof! Kennedy counts on people being ashamed/embarrased of bringing up the Chappaquidick incident to insulate himself from criticism. I think its great that some people, like Coulter, won't be cowed!
Teddy is "cheap and low IMHO."
You think any one of us would be sitting in the Senate had we been driving?
Hell no.
When Mary Jo Kopechne gets over it, so will I. Last I heard, she was still dead.
