Ted Kennedy dies.

He was even responsible ,or partly so,for the curb cutouts at corners that make it easier for wheel chair bound folks to get up and down sidewalks .

 

This is a guy who the media had his back in a major way.

 

Like go home to "sleep it off" while a young woman drowned in his car for instance, as opposed to alerting the authorities of a traffic accident do to fear of being asked to submit to a breathalyzer?

And that justifies allowing a woman to drown in the back seat of his car?

If he was anyone other than a noted politician he would have been charged with manslaughter for leaving the scene of an accident and allowing the victim to drown, under the premise of dodging a DUI instead.

 

Have a Source for this?

I Know about it, just wanted to know who's view this was.

 

good. one less liberal

 

You're not a cop or a psychic, you don't know what happened that night. You're just an angry 26 year old who hates the government. Not to mention you fail to take into consideration the fact in 1969 drunk driving was not as demonized as it was today.

 

Most of it was gathered here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chappaquiddick_incident

Here's some more info, http://www.nndb.com/people/623/000023554/

 

This is correct.

I'm theorizing using existing data.

Your not angry at your Government?

I never said I hated the Government, fuck look at my profile I used to work for them!

Yes but fleeing the scene of an accident and leaving a young woman to die in the mud probably was, which is exactly what Ted Kennedy did.

 

My grandma recently died. I was very sad...

Where the fuck was her 2 week long news headlines?

Ted kennedy's death is a fucking sideshow. Fuck ted kennedy. Did he have anything directly to do with 99.999999% of americans lives... Why do they care? They dont, they are told to care.

 

He was a Kennedy, a member of Americas answer to the Royal family.

 

Lol this thread is just the epitome of the fact almost no one on hipforums can look at politics in a pragmatic way.

 

Care to elaborate?

 

The whole Ted Kennedy is the devil, he did nothing for 99.99% of people, ect.

For one thing, anything who thinks any senator has no impact on your life has no knowlege of politics what so ever, let alone one of the most important there was in the senate. Off the top of my head, among things he championed, SCHIP, raising the minimum wage, pretty decent immigration reform, full rights for the LGBT community, funding for stem cell and cancer research, desegregation, early childhood education, more and better education funding, and cheap federal student loans for college students, opposing Iraq, expanding the VA, his staff continuously worked to get people visas, legal help, helping 9/11 victims.

I don't even agree with Kennedy a lot of the time, but he faught for people in the way he thought was best.

Or we can just take the everyone in government is bad, does no good and is the devil, rabble rabble route.
