Senator Ted Kennedy Dies At Age 77

ripted230.jpg

After a long battle with brain cancer, the "lion of the senate", Ted Kennedy died last night at the age of 77 in Hyannis Port Massachusetts.

In a statement, the Kennedy family said, "We've lost the irreplaceable center of our family and joyous light in our lives, but the inspiration of his faith, optimism and perseverance will live on in our hearts forever. We thank everyone who gave him care and support over this last year, and everyone who stood with him for so many years in his tireless march for progress toward justice."

Ted, the youngest brother of John and Robert Kennedy, was one of the longest running senators.

He leaves behind his wife, Victoria Ann Reggie Kennedy, and his five children.



Our thoughts go out to the Kennedy family at this time.

Can't thank him for giving us Obama. Wish him a good journey to wherever though.

When you are a kennedy you get away with using illegal drugs , womanizing, raping and even murder with the media covering up and praising you along the way.

Wow this man left a young woman to die in a car that he drove into the water and he lives to be 77. He had a long, good, privileged life. Somehow that just doesn't seem fair.

A man with the best healthcare in the world died trying to ruin it for hard-working middle class taxpayers.
Ask your gov if they will sign on to the same care that will be forced on us.

Here here to all of you who have posted - Ted will rot in hell for all the horrific things he has done during his time on this earth - just as the rest of the Kennedy's before him - do you you hear me Papa Joe?

Sick how the media glosses over the murder of that poor woman by vaguely saying "she was killed by the crash."

She drowned trapped in the car because he left her and didn't get help because all he cared about was his reputation. What a horrible frightening lonely way to die. And he got to live a full life and die surrounded by family. Later his nephew raped a woman at their house and he testified against the woman, but he tanked on the stand.

This is non-partisan but an issue of right and wrong, but Obama made a special speech about him today also glossing over this fact because the Kennedys backed him (only after their disagreement with the Clintons.) The Kennedy endorsement was meaningless because Clinton totally won that state anyway.

Teddy stands in front of a smirking, horned, cackling, Satan! Satan is twirling his tail, with the burning gates of Hell behind him, pleased that he finally gets Teddy! imagine Teddy's surprise as he realizes it is Obama! to quote the Reverend on Tru Blood "you are going to Hell, and you are going there today!"

On some news show they were fawning about Kennedy. One of the hosts mentioned Chappaquiddick and the others attacked her for mentioning it. After that, they started reading a bunch of political stuff Kennedy was associated with like to prove something. Mainstream media is so useless and sanitized.

Brain cancer couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I hope there is a hell, or at least some special place for this SOB.

We respected your chair in office, it was full of political fart, just like your brains.

Ted Kennedy led successful efforts to upgrade schools, bolster civil rights,raise the minimum wage, outlaw discrimination and expand health care. He spent his entire life trying to help those less fortunate while George W, Bush almost brought our country to its knees.

Don't ever say that about George Bush, because of George Bush, the United States of America now has more comedians
and idiots in politics than ever before.

AS A IMMIGRANT LIVING IN AMERICA WE HAVE LOST A GREAT SENATOR AND A BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING MY HEART GOES OUT TO THE KENNEDY FAMILY MAY HIS SOUL RESTIN PEACE .

Ted Kennedy should get the same treatment from God that he gave to Robert Bork during Bork's Supreme Court hearings. I do not believe doing some good things in life erases all the other evil you do! Finaly, all those that voted for him will burn in hell right along side him!

NO loss here....lets move on...people give him credit for more than he is worth. He left a woman to die in a car wreck because he was "scared" to admit he was doin the dirty with one of his workers....let her die by drowning in a car. Poor little rich boy let "daddy" take care of the details and the dirty work--while this young woman paid the ulitmate price (along with blood money) for protecting the "Kennedy legacy"/ He makes me want to vomit. I hope he rots in He++ wonder what would have happenend under the "public option plan" had he HAD to be a participant. Only the rich and their dollars prosper-don't let them FOOL you. Like I said no great loss here. Even on his death bed he had the gall to worry about his 'position and vote" on the senate. Over 40 years in the senate...too long....and he should have been under the "average" american retirement plan and MOST DEFINATELY under his so called beloved "Public Option"

A piece of vomit, I hope he suffered a horrible slow and painful death,

People die because they get bored with the world and hope for something better on the other side. We all live and wait, just to die. When I sleep, I enjoy my rest, who wants to wake up in this sickening world?? I'd rather die peacefully and wake up in God's Kingdom..God is Love & Eternal.

Rot In Hell Teddy Kenndy, you low life durnken piece of shit. Now you will have to face a Judge that will not be swayed by your money and family name. I hope you suffered from that brain cancer, like Mary Jo suffered in that car.
