Would Ted Kennedy be a uniting force if he ran for President? 
 Just askin. Would he bring together both Republicans and Democrats to help solve America's problems?

1. He's like the ultimate Republican boogey-man, isn't he?
 and, I think DU would have had a meltdown if they had to go through the Carter-Kennedy race in 1980.

 
What the hell is Pit Viper saying here??

3. Too much baggage.
 I respect Ted a great deal, but you factor in age, Chappaquidic (sp?). No chance, sadly.

8. Right: we need someone with a strong enough character 
 not to be intimidated when the Republicans threaten to hold their breath and turn blue if they don't get their way.

Today's Republicans see compromise as a sign of weakness. They are bullies, pure and simple. My guess is that like all bullies, they will slink away if someone actually stands up to them, ESPECIALLY if the Democrats stand up to them in a united front.

I keep pointing out the example of the Democrats joining together to declare their support for Social Security. The Republicans backed down.

They could have done the same for FISA, for funding the Iraq War, and for Kyl-Lieberman. They didn't--the spineless wusses besotted with outdated notions of "bipartisanship."


WTF!!!!!!!!!!!

6. Chappaquiddick. Chappaquiddick. Chappaquiddick.
 That's all we'd hear from dusk to dawn for months and months. I don't want him to have to go through that, although he WOULD make a great President.

7. He gave up on that ambition after his 1980 run
 And he decided to be the best Senator he could possibly be. I think he's been darned successful at that.

10. If Ted Kennedy
 announced a Presidential run I think all the RePukes would have an instant orgasm, talk about energizing the base, they would all crawl out from the rocks they hide under to add their 2¢ to the effort to destroy him.


An accident???? Yeah Ms. Bush had an accident, the fat one murdered someone

11. I like Ted a lot.
 But if he ran for President, all we'd hear about would be "that car accident where the girl drowned..." I still get that from the GOPers around me whenever something is said about ANY Kennedy.

Then I remind them of Laura Bush's accident in 1963, when she killed her boyfriend. Most act like they haven't heard of that, and why would they? The "liberal media"  doesn't really cover it much.


They continue to amaze me with their stupidity.

Fat Ted is only a driving force...off a bridge.   :whatever:

Here is one good thing I can say about 2/5 Ted. He is one of the gang of 4 that is working to defeat Hillary in the primaries along with Gore, Kerry and Dean. They do not like the two-faced Clintons.

Kennedy would indeed be a uniting force!

You know, this seems the sort of question Pedro Picasso would ask.

God, the media analyst over there is a naif.

Doesn't know anything about anything.

And understands even less.

Yes - commies, old stinky socially engineered hippie parasites, terrorists, Iran, drunks, pedophiles, queers, murderers, rapists, and those that can't swim. They would all get behind a fat Ted Kennedy presidency.
