Kennedy was a manipulative, self absorbed, example of all that is wrong in American Politics. Let’s be honest, he should have been done after the less than spectacular performance on the bridge. For those of you who are not aware, the bridge has since been removed. He had a wail of a career as a rich white male working for the poor. He wrote and sponsored “No Child Left Behind”, a screaming success according to absolutely NOBODY. But he saved his last, best and most telling look into his mind when he asked, literally from his death bed, to change the LAW THAT HE HAD CHANGED 5 YEARS AGO BACK. He now wants a successor named, but that was unacceptable when Romney a Republican was in charge. He did not think the rules and laws that he helped write confined or were meant for him. That is why we hear that he was for this health care, because he still would have been going to DUKE and all the other top notch medical facilities he could afford, your kids wouldn’t, but his would.
I can respect a man for believing what he does and living by those beliefs, but I can’t respect a man who manipulates the system in order to force those beliefs on me.
