[quote=GeoFisher;365119] ... but hey, I guess that STILL makes him qualified to be a democrat senator.[/quote]
Sounds like a few other senators that were in there. Thurman, for example.
I agree with Don, term limits. Heck, we limit how long someone can be president, no reason why congress should be any different.
Also agree with Tom, if you are not conherent, you are out. Its a disgrace that folks that cannot function on their own are allowed to participate in making laws, etc.

Re: The Last of the Kennedy Dynasty
Illness has a way of slapping the "High and Mighty" off their thrones and death makes all men equal. There are no safe deposit boxes crafted into a casket and no Wells Fargo trucks parked at the gravesite; Kennedy's death will make him equal to the poorest man.
He has always thought of himself as a ruler instead of a Senator and his money has bought many an evil deed. Now all his riches cannot buy him one more day of health.
I'm predicting that, like Rose Kennedy and Jackie O, all the family will gather at his home to say their "goodbyes" and then he will be given a dose of medication. There will be news reports of all the close, loving Kennedy clan being present at the time of his death but we won't hear about that last dose of medicine. I think he will be euthanized regardless of the name by which it is called.
Does anyone remember that Jackie O had conversations with and gave instructions to each family member just minutes before her death? I believe she also took the "short cut."
Re: The Last of the Kennedy Dynasty
What upsets me is the democrats and Massachusetts have been willing to let this man be a senator after the Mary Jo Kopechne murder. Had he tried to save her or act as he cared about her life I could have accepted it as a tragic accident but he would still need to step down. I know if he were a republican we would demand he step down as a disgrace that he is.
Bull You left out all the times he was caught with his pants down.
