What the hell is wrong with the people of Massachusettes? Isn't everybody sick of the Kennedy dynasty already? I mean that family's money came from bootlegging for christ's sake!

Because the democrats LOVE him. Him and Bill Clinton are like their Gods. And MA is a VERY Democrat state. For some reason. Nice people to immortalize, eh? a drunk, fast, murdering slob (love the way you put that) and a cheating, lying, slimeball. gotta love it!

He probably does a good job for the people of his state. That is why many politicians keep getting elected.
If you don't like family money breeding more family money then contact you elected officials and tell them to raise taxes on Inheritances.
The Bush dynasty got its money from selling goods to Hitler prior to WWII. Should George W be punished for that? Should Ted be punished for his father's crimes? You will find no clean money in any dynasty of power. You need to grow up and get over it. Live your life and let Ted live his.

The same way many folks stay in office: they bring home the bacon for their states and they respond quickly to constituents' problems. If he isn't your senator, you may not see how much he helps Mass.
I lived in North Carolina for many years and Senator Helms, while wildly unpopular around the country, delivered for North Carolinians. We couldn't care less what other people said about Jesse, he helped NC.
So I think it's the same with Ted Kennedy.

He has seniority in the Senate and can bring home the bacon, same reason Robert Byrd is still being propped up at age, what 150, so he can bring it home. Its the same as watching female news reporters and pretending you care what they say, they are all babes for a reason and we sit there mentally doing them and all the while they think they are doing a hell of a job. Well, Teddy is the same story for Massachusetts. He is just a fat, drunk but he actually has the power to fund worthless projects and programs in the state. It not the job he does, its the other stuff, the corruption and pork barrel thing. Teddy is what put the ugly in ugly American.

They say he is very effective at getting Massachusetts - the state, and individual residents - the funds and other resources they want.
Constituent service. Bringing home the bacon.
But yes, the rest of us are stuck with it.

Senator Kennedy is a man of character and intelligence, who made a mistake many decades ago.
And what we are SICK of is the bush Crime Family Syndicate, which made their money off of War Profiteering to the Nazis.
"Bootlegging?" Pshaw. So you've never had a drink in your life? Yeah, I thought so.
HYPOCRITE.

Actually it was a form of insider trading that Joe Kennedy used to make the family's fortune.

Doesn't make any sense to me either. I just can't fathom why anyone would vote for someone who wants to harm sucessful people by using excessive taxation, and then give that sme money to those who have no intention of doing anything for themselves.
