If JFK was alive , what impact would he have had on the antics of Ted Kennedy ?

Question

Would it have made a difference in the way Ted Kennedy seems to give verbal aid & comfort to the insurgents during the war on Terror ?

Answer 1

Teddy would have never made it into politics if his brothers hadn't died. The state of Massachusetts loved the first two Kennedy's so much they put another into office. Unfortunately since then Mass has become a communist playground and that has allowed teddy to stay in power

Answer 2

THE SAD THING IS JFK WAS NOT THE HERO DUMMYCRATS PORTRAY HIM AS. Ted Kennedy is the product of His father's disrespect for the working class American. The Kennedy clan has grown up in their own world and used the media to look like they care when the only motivation they followed was self gain. Remember JFK lived a wild life behind the scenes and while in the White House acted almost as bad as Billy Boy Clinton. To use the Kennedy's as anything but an example of now not to live is a mistake.

Answer 3

If JFK were alive today (somewhat unlikely given the fact that he would be 90 now), he would be the patriarch of the Kennedy clan and Teddy would never have advanced beyond Boston City Hall.

As for Teddy's antics, I'm not sure how much attention they'd attract.

Answer 4

I think there is a part to the question that may be overlooked. If JFK were alive, and still held to the values that he held while in office, the Democrat party would marginalize him.

Many of the positions that President Kennedy held dear while in office, have been abandoned by his party in the last few years. As president he was very aggressive in national defense, he was willing to take us to the brink of all out war with the Soviets over the possibility of missiles in Cuba. Now many in his party want to defund the military during combat actions. Perhaps his most famous line of "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country" has been replaced by many within the party by plans of more government entitlements, not only for those to whom the country belongs, but to many who are here illegally and have little or no interest in helping to make the nation stronger.

I feel that although many Democrats revere President Kennedy, they would view his policies as outdated and much to conservative to be relevant. If you want to see evidence of this look no further than Senator Lieberman, who shares many of the visions that President Kennedy held while in office. He was contested and beaten in a primary, and is now scorned by many fellow Democrats.

Answer 5

Atta boy Ted! You sure are fooling those libs and getting some of the money the Kennedy's pis*ed away for the last 100 years!

Answer 6

WOW...talk about two sides of the gene pool!!! Oddly enough, I just never think about them being related to each other.

I don't know if Teddyboy would have made it to where he is....in fact, I think JFK would have shamed him out of public life after the whole letting a woman drown in his car that he drunkenly wrecked and didn't report it for how many hours???

I just don't listen to the man anymore. He deserves no attention...in fact he deserves an indictment, a trial and some serious jail time.

Answer 7

ever learn about JFK? he made Clinton look like a choir boy... bedding every lady in a 15 ft. radius of himself?

I can't figure you conservatives out... you bash Clinton all day for doing the same stuff (probably not as much) as JFK did... and then turn around and talk about how JFK was a conservative (which clearly he wasn't, no matter how much you want to read into his "don't ask what your country" speech)

I don't mind JFK personally, but he's like "Clinton Sr." in almost every way you can imagine politically? are you guys going to be talking about how great Clinton was in 10 years?

my dad, a conservative, used to complain how JFK was such a liberal? I don't know what you guys are even talking about anymore?

Answer 8

Fantastic question!!!! JFK would be a Neocon in boozy ted's way of thinking. I suspect Teddy wouldn't be so outspoken in is hatred of America!

Answer 9

First the conventional intensity For A Coffin Is Six ft. in case you Broke The Coffin you may decide for intense stress. in case you Didn t Die Of starvation Or Dehidration you may Die because of the stress Of All That airborne dirt and dirt Falling On You

Answer 10

he would BE Ted Kennedy; drunk, old and irrelevant (like Jimmy Carter, but not as well thought of)
