How could they dishonor and disgrace those truly brave men and women that are buried in Arlington National Cemetery by placing that no good scoundral there alongside them?

I guess that he repented of all his sins against babies he sacrificed for votes to remain in office. I guess that he repented driving his valid wife Joan to drink with all his affairs with other women. I guess he repented leaving a woman to drown as he ran away in his drunken stupor. I guess he is somewhere now repenting where souls go who sold out for votes. I guess that a lot of people in DC will be joining him when they die if they repent before their last moments. He will have a lot of company where ever he is right now. Maybe they will let him come back to warn those dishonest politicians in DC before they totally destroy the USA as we knew it.

There must be some truth in all these negative comments. He was not the great man people make him out to be.

That's easy. Im old enough to remember his self serving, self pitying TV speech following Chappaquidick in which he explained it all,
After he was through with the lies (subsquently proven), I thought to myself, 'Is this how big shot politicians think? Is this how they lie unflinchingly?'
And all of this was BEFORE the endless tax increases.
It was my indoctrination into cynicism. Thanks Teddy.

He will always be the Chappaquidik murderer. He was a political lightweight until his brothers were killed. Then he used the memories of them to enhance himself.

I am not jealous or envious. I believe in Justice. Joe Kennedy wanted to sell Hitler England. J.F.K abandon the Cubans who went to invade Cuba. Robert Kennedy was O.K. Ted Kennedy was a Liberal, possibly a socialist. In addition he was a drunk, blamed anything he did on someone else. When did he ever take responsibility for his actions? Do I miss him? I miss him as much as I would miss Nancy Pelosi if that witch died.

A murdering rat. Shame on him for leaving that poor girl to drown while he saved his own sorry tail, and then, as the Kennedys do, spun it with pressure if not bribes. Guess we'll never know the real truth since that scum bag is finally dear.
