Ted Kennedy served in the Army for two years. Nice to see you know what you're talking about.

How about the fact that he helped create Pell Grants to help low income students afford college?

I've lived in Massachusetts my whole life and couldn't agree more. People here are obsessed with the Kennedy's to the point where we will continue to elect someone that actually killed someone. While I feel horrible that he is so sick, it doesn't take away from the fact that he is a public figure and people should still be able to criticize his policies and political history without fear of being labeled heartless because they're criticizing someone with a brain tumor.

Typically when I'm trying to make a point and come off as even a little credible…I proofread.

Kennedy is just the face of what is wrong with American politics.

Our political system has degenerated into a me-first, win-at-all-costs race where little concern is shown for what is actually best for this country as long as my party is in control.

Very well said. Kennedy demonstrates everything that is wrong with US politics. Starting with the elitism he represents. They are not and never were Camelot they were parasites. I would hazard that this little clan of inbreds has done more to damage this country then any dynasty ever.

Sorry, I accidentally clicked post comment before I finished my post. Anyway, point is, there are probably a lot of people who don't think he was a great politician, or who disagree with his views, but it's no reason to bring up facts that , though they may true, are irrelevant and don't contribute much to the discussion anymore than the National Enquirer or TMZ would.

I clicked on "read more" to possibly find some discussion about Kennedy's policies. What do I get? A look into his personal history, being a "quasi-alcoholic," general pronouncements about the Kennedy "legacy", patriotism , and the omnipresent "politically-correct" cry of suffering. But I shouldn't be surprised. A lot of political discourse in the media is really I think that a lot of politicians are opportunists

I know this isn't technically a political website, but I actually don't mind political articles.

This article is a welcome surprise! Not only are we being bombarded by the police of political-correctness, but "revisionist" historians are attempting to rewrite history to make heroes into cowards and vice versa. Case in point: Ted Kennedy.
He has done little aside from questioning the motives of conservatives.
It's interesting to note how those promoting tolerance and acceptance refuse to tolerate criticism of themselves or questionable heroes like Mr. Kennedy.

Matthew – comment appreciated, but check the role-call on some of the important legislation, and then follow that down to legislation initiated by Sen. Kennedy. Not to mention the fact that you don't seem to refute that he got away with killing someone?
