His speech is on the record for him stating we had no valid proof to justify toppling the Iraqi government. His statements have proven incredibly accurate.

Hero is big word for a politician doing his duty to the best of his ability and conscience but in comparison to some of the others he is.
The dramatic, much-debated vote on Joint Resolution 114 was taken on October 11, 2002. It passed the Senate by a vote of 77 to 23, and the House of Representatives by a vote of 296 to 133.
In the end, 156 members of Congress from 36 states had enough information and personal insight and wisdom to make the correct decision for our national and the world community.

If he has actually started to tell the truth for a change, then why has he consistently voted for every war funding bill that he's had a chance to vote on? No proof? how about funding of terrorist groups like Al Quada? Giving aid and shelter to Abu Nidal? Mass killings of the Kurds, Organized rape rooms? Torture Chambers for political prisoners? Kicked the UN inspectors out who were looking for WMDs. Bribing UN officials with illegal oil for food program money to vote against sanctions and bribing the French, Germans, and Russians to vote against war.

Unfortunately, Ted will never be a hero. The night he drove his car off the bridge in Chappaquiddick and Mary Jo drowned, is the night I lost all respect for the man. He is a drunk, I believe as a result of that incident, and living with what he did. Hero? NEVER

The word Ted Kennedy and hero will never belong in the same sentence.

Ted Kennedy doesn't get the credit he deserves for many issues. He's been overshadowed by his 2 dead brothers.
In my book he is a hero for many reasons, his fight for social causes, his work on the domestic front. His opposition on the war and for being one of only a handful of Senators to stand their ground with GWB.

Ted Kennedy is very likely a hero to some. Those who think so are my polar opposite. But we are a varied bunch here.

Ted Kennedy is as much a hero as he is skinny! That fat, druken disgrace to the Electorate....even the Democratic Electorate! He is a perfect example of why America needs term limits in Congress. He is a career politician and an opportunist who can only be elected again and again in a state like Massachuesettes that is full of liberal America bashing haters. He should be in jail over that Cappaquitic deal... if it werent for his two dead brothers, and a sympathetic judge and jury who didnt do their jobs due to the fact that he was a Kennedy.
The founding fathers would roll over in their graves to hear this man being called a hero by any half-witted American...Even by a liberal.

Which statements? There was plenty of justification from removing Saddam.
Ted Kennedy is the poster child for the argument for Senate term limits. He is an embarrassment and only keeps getting elected because he brings home the bacon to his state.

He's a drunken donkey who has no remorse for the life he ended. He also the author of No Child Left Behind, the bill you donkeys complain about. Hero? What's wrong with you?
