Teddy for Dems = Larry Craig for GOP
Edited on Sun Jan-27-08 01:58 PM by OmahaBlueDog
Both are good party men who have an off-field record that is horrifying.

I wouldn't be playing this endorsement up.

I'm editing this to add some clarification:

You may disagree, but here's my point

We know Ted Kennedy for his fine work in the Senate. Outside of our friendly confines (read: the MSM), Ted is remembered for being the Senator who got away with murder, and for running around drunk with no pants (at his own house, granted) during the William Kennedy Smith debacle.

If Larry Craig were to endorse Mitt, McCain, or Huck, all would say "Thanks but no thanks" because of the MSM thinking on the topic.

All I'm saying is that I think a Ted Kennedy (as opposed to a Caroline or an RFK jr) has a downside.

BTW... Nebraska votes so late that my choice of candidate won't matter (for those of you who think I have a pro-Hillary agenda here)

1. Are you out of your fucking mind?
I'm going to assume you are NOT a Hillary supporter. But you're hoping other people will think you are?

11. Well, if the Bush Crime Family murdered two of your brothers
and you lost a bunch of other family members through other tragic circumstances, you think you might drink a little?

40. Well, he was an oilman from Texas, so it's entirely possible
at the very least, they have mutual friends. But I'll bet LBJ didn't know Jack Ruby in 1947. Dick Nixon and Prescott Bush did.

41. And when I see someone bitching about Mary Jo Kopechne, I think FREEPER
But then, most of your other posts have made me think that as well.

Is it too early to get a pizza in here?

20. I'm sure they're over here to witness the slugfest
This must be like heaven, for rethugs and freepers to witness what's going on over here.

Nevermind that once our nominee is chose, we'll all reunite and go after whichever slimebag they nominate.

14. LOL. Ted Kennedy and Craig play exactly the same roles and have the same status and
credibility within their respective parties.

Is that what they're serving up where you, er, come from?

30. If you assume that Hillary invented attacks on Ted Kennedy, you haven't been paying attention.
Teddy Kennedy has been reviled for decades among many people. I don't agree with it, but it's the truth.

This Hillary supporter thinks Ted Kennedy is a good endorsement that will have a positive effect - even if I disagree with him.

26. Yes, Teddy has now dared to worship false gods
Edited on Sun Jan-27-08 01:35 PM by aint_no_life_nowhere
John Kerry, Robert Reich, Claire McCaskill have also become pariah because they now worship false gods. Anyone who doesn't worship Hillary Clinton is ex-communicated on the spot. It's an immediate transformation and it can only be restored by renouncing their heresy and accepting Hillary Clinton as their one true god.

This business of seeing everything and everyone by the way they see your candidate, on both sides, is getting absolutely ridiculous. It's turned politics into a religious experience.

38. The irony in all this

is that with Obama and his supporters anti-family dynasty, they get endorsed by the biggest family dynasty in the US, its total hilarity.

42. What Rubbish

We've all heard the Kennedy's from the 50's right up to now.

Presidents, AG's, senators, congressmen, influential businessmen and woman, California governors wife.

Thats a political family dynasty, however you look at it.
