Just heard the news. Senator Kennedy has now gone before the judgment seat of God, and I pray for his salvation:

Caucus of Corruption
Kennedy exemplifies what I don’t like in American politics. No one should serve 40+ years in the Senate.
Here’s just a few …

I was listening to NPR a few moments ago. They have their collective tounge so far up his corpse’s sphinter they can probably tickle his rotting, embalmbed liver with it.
I have said repeatedly on these pages that the world is a better place without this bastard.
I knew they would slather the sugar sauce thick and heavy on Ronnie’s legacy this week. Hell, the beatification has been ten years in the can by now. When oh when is the Gipper going to Heaven? Now that he’s with Jesus and Dick Nixon at last, and Nancy’s pain is finished, I plan to celebrate the passing of one of the worst leaders of the 20th century. Get a bottle of fine Irish whisky, punk down half of it, and piss on an effigy of that pencil-brained ol’ bastard.
There’s more but I don’t have any more time to waste on you lefties.
whats so wrong is that you have a person that obviously isnt mentally fit or capable of ever doing his job in the senate…who is allowed to retain that seat right up to his very death…
what a joke it is to put the person before the duty in the senate and fail to remove him or for him to resign to make way for a replacement that can do what needs to be done…no matter which party that person comes from…

but the scariest part of all is that the guys moral terpitude was representative of the people of Massachusetts for half a century…
and there were no good apples on that tree either…
politics is durty biznuss
respect ONLY the facts
Over the course of his long legislative career, Kennedy dramatically changed his position on the issue of abortion. In a now-famous 1971 letter to a constituent, the senator wrote that “human life, even at its earliest stages, has a certain right which must be recognized — the right to be born, the right to love, the right to grow old.” But Kennedy thereafter became an unwavering proponent of abortion-on-demand. He voted several times — in 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2003 — against a proposal to ban the late-term procedure commonly known as “partial-birth abortion.” In 2004 he voted against a proposal to make it an added criminal offense for someone to injure or kill a fetus while carrying out a crime against a pregnant woman. He consistently received ratings of 100 percent from abortion-advocacy groups like NARAL Pro-Choice America and Planned Parenthood.
BTW, Joe, how did your fellow liberals respond from the time of Reagan’s passing through his funeral?
They were pissing themselves with glee over on the lefty blogs. But I’m sure ol’ Joe went to those blogs and chastised those heartless kooks, right???
I doubt it.
RIP Teddy. I will miss the laughs you provided me for the past decade or so. Now I have to depend on Reid and Pelosi–two rank amateurs.
God will pass fair judgement on his soul…
question for you all: If JFK had not been assasinated and the Camleot legend created by the MSM would Teddy have been in the senate for 40 years? I think not. The Kennedy “Dynasty” was created by the MSM. JFK did not really live up to the legend, in my opinion.
No man should relish the death of another, not even in war when death walks with every combatant. If you didn’t listen to Rush today you missed his rebuke of those who plan to honor Kenndy’s passing by naming the socialist health bill after him. Rush pointed out that Kennedy chose to fight to the last with superior medical care and medications. He did not submit to a death panel and give up with just pain medication. Kennedy did not allow government into his decision making process and neither should all other American citizens. Wake up, don’t submit to emperor Obama and princess Pelosi. ” God bless the meek for they shall inherit the earth” or what’s left of it.
How about starting here, Joe? http://www.frontpagemag.com/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=12740
Shep Smith on Fox News said there’s a lot of vitriol coming in e-mails regarding Teddy’s passing.
I wonder if the vitriol when Reagan died disturbed ol’ Shep as much.
Probably not; Shep’s no great lover of conservatives…
freedomfromchange
you are 100% correct.
Today the lefty news talking heads were attempting to defray away from Chappaquiddick and attempting to sway us by his senate record?
If he were treated like you and I, and not some connected politician, the news would be reporting on his demise pointing out his prison record, and not some delusional lofty senate debacle called a record which would not exist.
He should have been tried for second degree murder, or vehicular manslaughter at least and server 10-15 years in prison.
teach- all
wait until Cheney, Rove, W, die.
we’ll all see the leftbot benevolence we saw at DA’s coronation…na na na na hey hey goood bye!!
yeah real classy people eh?
Well, William, looks like we shut them up.
Mark/Matt: Please remove the up/down voting … it’s really annoying.
Mark: Clearly [Ted Kennedy is] a man who brings out passions…
Now there’s an understatement if I ever heard one. And the thing about it is, he often brought out conflicting passions within the same individual. Whatever else could be said, he’s the only one of his brothers that died a natural death. And especially considering the circumstances surrounding them, that’s a tragic legacy. On the other hand, no one is likely to ever nominate Ted Kennedy for sainthood, either. My condolences to his family and loved ones. But other than those things I will say no more.
Joe? Hello? Beuller? Beuller?
Really hated to hear this. I didn’t want to see him leave this world without salvation…or anyone, for that matter. He may have accepted Christ before he died, however, from all indications, he left this world lost and un-found. Alienating himself from his source of hope.
Needless to say, all that is left now, is his memory…and I’m sure that his family had some really good times together with him up there on Nantucket Island, sailing the waters with a warm summer breeze.
Those memories are the hardest to take, because there is such a void now taking their place.
This is just another in a line of tragedies for the Kennedy family, and the Kennedy family history has been nothing but a wreck. He came in this world much better off than he left it. He had a chance to do what was right, but instead, chose to rely on his own desire. He now looks down an endless road.
Politically, ideologically, and philosophically I did not agree with the man Ted Kennedy. In his wake as a Senator is left a gruesome picture, as the blood stain of millions of unborn children across America placed on his hands. For that very reason alone, I would not want to be in that man’s shoes right now. How shameful an act for humanity to bear…our sin, however, soon catches up.
Sen. Kennedy has now stood before the great white throne, and heard one of two things: ‘Welcome in thy good and faithful servant’ or, ‘Depart from me, ye worker of iniquity, I never knew you.’
Many condolences to the Kennedy family.
May you Rest In Peace, Senator Kennedy.
William, he won’t be back but I’m sure we’ll catch him on another thread posting his liberal blather.
Oh, last thing, I swear. As you get gouged for the price of a CT scan you didn’t need, you should know that you are paying for being exposed to more radiation in one blow than nuclear power plant operators are allowed in a year. Watch for cancer in seven to ten years.

The doctor chumped you into paying his monthly CT bill by shortening your lifespan. Diverticulitis is best diagnosed with an anal tube and a flashlight, not Chernobyl and a Kodak Instamatic.
Best system ever, my ass. Ciao, chump.
And implementing single payer will solve this how, bozo?

Not really… just some of us have to work and can’t always monitor this blog 24/7.
Anyway… Teach, I read your link. I guess you get some a-holes on both sides. Because of some bloggers, it makes it ok for you to do the same? Way to stay above the fray and lead by example. You always claim how disgusting and low liberals are. So apparently you want to be just like them? Doesn’t make much sense to me.
I tried searching this Blog (and Blogs for Bush) for a post from when Reagan died in 2004. I couldn’t find it. I’d like to know how liberals commented there. At least we can (kind of) compare apples to apples since a lot of us were commenting back then as well.
I still say that you people always claim to be so Christian and so righteous that you are showing a pretty ugly side. Kennedy made disgusting mistakes in his personal life. That doesn’t make what he did in the Senate any less.
Mark, you claim he let others do the work, I completely disagree. He was the one that got a LOT of people together to find common ground and didn’t take top-billing on a lot of his work instead offering the top-billing to other Senators. His work with civil rights, healthcare and education was a major asset to this country. I’ve never asked anyone to agree with all of his policies or anything in his personal life. Just to show some respect.
