It is way past time that the people of MA put Ted Kennedy out to pasture. His day and his political ideals are not only over, but they have been over for decades. Not only that, but he is nothing more than a shadow of either one of his two brothers.
The man:
cheated his way through Harvard;
sat on the bank of an eight foot deep canal while a young and pregnant woman died in his car;
morns for the presidency that was never to be his in the first place;
is a throwback to a time and place that is better left forgotten.
He claims to be for the working man, yet he has never held a regular job in this life. He has no idea of what it is like to run a family on a given amount of money. Which is exactly why he has no concept of the impact and effect of taxes on whom ever they are imposed. He has never made a mortgage payment, a car payment, or any other type of installation payment. If all his speech writers were to suddenly walk, the man would be unable to utter a single well thought out, meaningful sentence. Absent his staff, he'd never draft a resolution, come up with an original idea, or introduce a bill in the well of the senate.
Ted Kennedy is an anachronism and a pain in the ass. He is, in my opinion and that of millions of others a murderer via accessory after the fact. He is an embarrassment to the people of the United States of America and an insult to each and every man and woman in uniform who have given the ultimate sacrifice to insure the blessings of freedom and liberty for the people of this country.
Ted Kennedy, I say again, should be put out to pasture. Tomorrow wouldn't be soon enough.
