Teddy Kennedy

This will probly be controversial but in my opinion it needs to be repeated. Paul

I don't know Pat Norbt, the author of this, but she sure remembers it the way it was. Please keep it going.

I'm a life long citizen of Massachusetts and IMO Ted Kennedy is a FLOCKING DISGRACE!

I can't understand why he keeps getting elected. Most people in this state are just blind ignorant.

Kennedy is a lieing SOB who never had to account for the Mary Jo Kopechnie tragedy and Kerry is nothing but a gigolo who never did anything on his own.

How these people ever get as far as they do is beyond me.

Despite what the polls say I still have the feeling Bush is going to win big next November, knock on wood!

Right, we will never really know what happened that night, but he took nine hours to report the accident. We know that. She lived for quite some time and might have been saved.

The latest in investigative science has shown that Ted Kennedy was driving in excess of 180 mph when he and Miss Kopechne drove off that bridge!!!!!!!!!!!

Physisicsts have proven you have to be going that fast in order for Miss Kopechne's panty's to be knocked off her body and into the glove box.

...so where do we stand now? The posibilities are as follows:

1. Ted is a low life, pices of..... etc. etc.

2. Ted is a...... see #1. abowe, but even low lifes sometimes
tell the truth.

3. Diverting attention from the issues to Ted's past is a way to
sidestep them.

4. The President has never made a mistake in his life, and all the
critics are wrong all the time.(NOT)


I say all of the above..........
