As a kid I always saw them as a very powerful family in political terms.

I wonder if this death will change anything?

RIP Ted. Ted was a sterling example why American's need to set term limits in all political offices.

We already did that... no its a testiment to the cluelessness of the average american voter.

Ted did his fair share of good work. Then again he did his fair share of destructive nany state fostering.

I wasent going to bring up the Mary Joe thing but yea thats one of the first things that comes to my mind.

It's not the first time Democrats have exploited the death of a fellow colleague to push a political agenda. Remember the Paul Wellstone funeral?

Anyway, I wish they would just let Ted Kennedy RIP. And not view it as an opportunity to achieve a political end. I don't like Ted Kennedy, and I think he worked diligently against my personal interests, but I do believe he doesn't deserve his death to be turned into a political sideshow.

RIP.

Kind of like the exploitation of the deaths of 3000 on 9/11/01 by the Republicans, eh?

I guess you missed the intro video to John McCain's acceptance speech at the RNC last year. Or every mention of "In the post 9/11 world..." by any Repub, or using 9/11 to push through the Patriot Act, or the fundraiser titled "$9.11 For Rudy" for Guiliani's presidential bid where the admission fee was $9.11...I could keep going. There's plenty of evidence.

If I'm in Loonville, you're the governor of the state of Loonachusetts

Face it - politicians of every stripe use fear, emotion and death as a tool. Not limited to one side or the other.

Uhh. No. There is simply no comparison of bringing up the terrorist attacks of 9/11/01 in keeping the nation focused on the war (which of course national security should be non-partisan

), and the Democrat moonbats at the Paul Wellstone memorial. Also, compare Republican behavior at Reagan's funeral. The Republicans did it right. You have an empty bag mookie. 9/11 is an issue that both parties should be onboard with. You have gone off the deep end with this one........ totally. I wish Democrats would put some actual real focus and emphasis on the 9/11 attacks. I wish Democrats would take 9/11 and National Security seriously.

And I also wish Democrats wouldn't view their dead colleagues as political opportunities to exploit. It's low class and plain sickening.

Anyway, watch and listen to the looney Al Franken here and contrast the images of the service at the end of the video.

Oh good lord. If you all refuse to see the plain truth in front of your eyes how 9/11 has been used as a political tool to advance an agenda, you're willfully blind.

Absolutely stunning how this is even debatable.

There's a difference between responding to a major event with specific steps related to that event, and the exploitation of an event.

I don't disagree that politicians of all ideologies exploit events for their own gain ... however, I don't see 9/11 as anything close to that.
