Not to mention the Special Olympics from Eunice Shriver and the countless charitable organizations and people they've helped. Ted Kennedy left his mark on every major piece of legislation for almost a half a century. I KNOW your Republican leaders would agree with me. It's become clear that you have no respect for anyone that is not in tune to your way of thinking. You really should be ashamed of yourself.
p.s. Don't bother to answer me with one of your tirades, I've put you on Ignore. |
Your choice - I grew up in Massachusetts and saw the Kennedy clan use money and influence to live like SouthEastern Mass. was their private fiefdom - exempt from the laws and mores imposed on the peasantry. He may be your hero from watching him at a distance, but he's not mine. To me he was just another rich kid who abused the system and got extra-special treatment thanks to daddy's money. He was the epitome of the incumbent with the unlimited campaign treasure chest who would never leave, and having a title was all that was left.
Many times you got "upset" when anyone not from the Chicago area made any comment about Chicago politics and politicians. I guess it doesn't go both ways....
