| I just do not have any for Ted Kennedy. Reading about Kerry's claim he has helped millions only magnifies the instance where he did not help one. I just cannot feel any sympathy for him. |

I don't agree with Kennedy politically. But a man facing a life threatening illness trumps our political differences.
I wish Ted Kennedy peace in his time of trial. He is in my prayers. |

| Has nothing to do with politics. Although, I find it difficult to have sympathy, it does not mean I am jumping for joy. But the thoughts of her being left to die in that car when he could have gone for help are pretty overpowering. |

| I am with you, I feel for him as a person suffering, but I dislike a lot of what he did as a person and a political figure. There are so many stories about him going back and forth on certain issues, treating people like trash and abusing his name and power. I cannot wish ill upon anyone. I am a big believer in Karma and what goes around comes around. This may be a long painful experience for him to think about the hurt that he has caused so many people, including what happened in Chapaquitic. |

John McCain must be devastated. He and Ted are old pals.
If I recall correctly, aren't they the two d*ckheads that came up with the Immigration Bill that would have granted amnesty to over 10 Million illegal aliens?
McCain is definitely a "Patriot"  |

| Kennedy also worked with Bush to create the "No Child Left Behind" program. It's just that the Dems don't want to mention that now. |

| There will be a void in the libs quest for socialism, income redistribution, abortion, higher taxes, less traditional values, more gov't regulation, more welfare, more social programs, less responsibility for citizens, and the libs desire to gain power over the people because we aren't smart enough to make the right decisions on how to lead over lives. I will miss Ted, because I can't think for myself. We are all like sheep, and he was our shepard. |

| What's Teddy done for me and what has he really done to inspire people? His old man had the money, Jack had the chrisma and Bobby had the brains. Teddy only got where he was because he was a Kennedy and because of the coattails of his two brothers. |

I have to agree with you. Kennedy used his power to cover up the car crash that killed Mary Jo Kopechne.
One thing that burns me, is the fact that if it was any of us plain joes killing someone in a car crash, we would have been tried and convicted. |

When I was young, I must confess that on occasion I wished ill upon my perceived antagonists.
With each passing year, I have come to realize that it was an immature thought process.
I now can say that I harbor only the desire that those whom I dislike might change, and pray them no harm.
Ted Kennedy, politics aside, has already endured more heartbreaks as a human being than most of us, and we all have had some. He could have, with his wealth, chosen a life of ease, playing out the years with the equally rich and privileged. Instead, he has been a tireless worker on behalf of the less fortunate, and in so doing in Congress, is almost universally praised for it by members of both/all parties.
His foibles have been unfortunate, and I have no doubt that if he could undo his personal mistakes he would do so in a heartbeat. Alas, he is only human.
He bore the passing of close family with dignity, and accepted the role of family leadership even though he could have elected not to do so. I am not so certain that all of us would have shouldered tragedy and responsibility as well.

Steve, haven't you listened to our wonderful fearless leader, they are here doing jobs that Americans just won't do. If they leave I will have to cut my own grass, clean my own house and take care of my own kids, then I'm letting the terrorists win.

wow steve.... we see eye to eye on something quasi-political (illegals)....
as far as kennedy's ailment goes..... i have to look past my entire life with this pugnatious definition of a politian (in a bad way).... and remember that he is still a human being.... and to have a brain tumor must be some extreme pain and suffering.....
my father tells me a story about how most of his union buddies really disliked jfk.... and how he claimed he never shed a tear for the president being killed, but in later years he felt remorse for not having any compassion for the man and the family.... it helped me understand.....
everyone has their way of thinking.... that's mine.... |

Ah, the wisdom of age. Thanks Dollar.
I myself abhor politics, so do not try to classify my response thusly.
He is, like it or not, an American icon, and the last of the great Kennedy lineage. I find it sad that he will be leaving soon, but we will all go eventually.
I wish all the best for him and his loved ones. |

| Well I can say officially my stomach has turned upside down.... I don't know where most of you are located, but I'm in California.... Is there any one person here who didn't come from another country or continent. Or let me rephrase, whose ancestors did not come from another? If it weren't for all of the opportunities those that first came here were offered, well where would all of us be today. That aside, wasn't california partially mexico, and what wasn't werent the indians here first. And isn't it a fact that most Hispanics to be politically correct, have some type of indian in them. So who are all of you to down the people who are trying to give their families a better life. So they don't have the education to sit on a computer all day thinking they are holier than though, but yes some cut lawns, as most of you are probably to lazy to do it. They work in hot sun, and fields. And they don't have glorious jobs, or silver spoons in their mouth. I am proud of my heritage. My great grandfather worked in the fields his family in tents for a portion of the year. And thanks to his hard work and dedication, thats what we were taught. The harder you work, and the more you try the more you have to give to your children. Even if its only an education. Pompass, a** people. I thought racism was on its way out. you all make me sick. where did your relatives come from? And on my mothers side, scottish/irish, well hell maybe you think I have no right to be here either. ugh grow up. |

Couldn't have said it better, just do it "legally" then we'll all shut up. Being in this country is a privilege not a right. How is it fair to all the people standing in line, waiting patiently to come here legally! |

I am sorry, but I do have a problem with illegals coming in and expecting free health care, free govie programs, while the legals are paying taxes, paying for their own health care and getting no type of govie programs trying to make ends meet.

Are you really asking that question? It is well documented that she had a pocket of air and had Senator Kennedy gone back to the house for help, she could have been saved. But he chose another route. I watched the statement made by him after the event. I am not going to reiterate the events when you can easily find them yourself. |

It's "racism" to ask that someone come here legally by doing a little paperwork? Ask your ancestors if they stood in line for weeks at Ellis Island and what they would think of someone who skipped past them and laughed in their face.
There were no "opportunities" first offered here on the empty and unexplored wilds and plains, they were created through the hard work of immigrants who built a civilized society in a place where none existed before it. Do you think that businesses and farms were built all over this land before the Mayflower sailed over?
The people you mention now benefit from businesses created by extremely hard work done by others for over 200 years, yet you complain about all the hard work they have to put in now. Too bad for them, they had thousands of years to do it first and they didn't. They don't get to sit on their ass for that long and then pop in when the hard stuff is done. They can play by today's rules, just like everyone else has to do. |

Assassin,
You nailed it.
So true.
Pulling the 'race card' on this issue is pathetic and simple-minded.
Ted Kennedy and John McCain were responsible for that Amnesty Bill a while back. Just wanted to remind all of you "Republicans" of that fact. 
How the GOP can put John McCain on the ticket is beyond comprehension. |

You'll notice that it is only pulled out by people named "Martinez" or similar, who don't understand the consequences of letting just anyone waltz in to blow the place up, nor do they care as long as their own family and friends aren't inconvenienced by having to fill out a couple of forms.
It's funny that so many people who come North from a country with no jobs and no pay do not understand what will happen if they all flood into America to reduce the number of jobs and the legal pay scale here. They'll end up in the same poverty, only they will extend it to affect "legal" Americans.
They choose to scream bloody murder at our government because they don't have the guts to scream at their own piece of crap. Of course, that would be "racist" of them, I guess. |

My family and I are foreign.
We have spent years and thousands upon thousands of dollars to move to this country. It is overwhelmingly frustrating to go through the process, then to hear of illegals and what benefits they are asking for/getting just takes the cake.
It is a great country, make the sacrifice to get here legally!

| Race card, opportunities... so, I guess it was an opportunity for slaves to come over unwillingly to provide means so others can get rich. I feel for Ted Kennedy... however, about him being rich and deciding to be a public servant. Well, most in congress are rich. That is why they are in congress so they can stay rich. |

Ted Kennedy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Chappaquid**** incident
In 1969, Edward Kennedy drove a car off a bridge into the channel between Chappaquid**** Island and Martha's Vineyard. Kennedy managed to escape, but his passenger, campaign worker Mary Jo Kopechne, drowned in the submerged car. Kennedy left the scene of the accident and did not call authorities until the following day. Kennedy pled guilty to leaving the scene of an accident and received a suspended sentence of two months in jail.
What a hero!

"Illegal" is such a harsh word. I prefer the more PC phrase "Documentationally Challenged".
The reality of it is that our legal immigration system is broken. My wife is from Mexico. She is a college graduate that migrated here legally. The process from work visa, to permanent resident, to full citizenship took 12+ years. The U.S. immigration system is the most bureaucratic in all of our government. It's no wonder we can't get the problem of illegal immigration under control. We can't even handle the process of legal immigration.
I don't support illegal immigration. I understand it, but I don't support it. Until we streamline our system, it will remain a problem. |

Why would anyone feel sorry for Kennedy, he is 76 years old and has lived the life of 20 men. You gotta go sometime from something. 76 isn't too bad.
Why is 12 years too long to get citizenship? That's the problem with people, everyone thinks they are entitled to things immediately, on the spot, right now. Anyone coming to this country should be damn happy if it takes them 20 years to get citizenship and just be thankful they are getting it at all! |

Paul, I didn't know you were that old.
I was on the porch watching TV when he came on. I was 12. My parents were livid. They were from Massachusetts. I am that old. I remember when CBS was the final network to ditch B/W in 1967. |

I disagree. There's no justification for a 12 year process.
So, what's the lesson here?
When the government gets too involved and too BIG ... it screws everything up ... almost EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Ron Paul is the only candidate who realizes this simple fact.
Most of you chose to vote for someone else, hope you're happy now.
