Most of mafia is pretty right leaning, so i don't expect many ted kennedy fans here, but the guy was a pretty big player in liberal lawmaking. First kennedy to actually die a normal-ish death...

True, I tend to be more conservative than not, but a lot of the stuff Ted did cannot be divided by party lines.  He's accomplished more, especially in education, than most presidents have.

He wrote over 2500 bills and created and passed about 300 laws. Hell of a man right there.

Every single one of the Kennedy's were dilettantes who rode on the backs of the ideals of popular belief to further their political careers.

That's all I have to say, at least on here.

He and his brothers had a huge role in the United States history so you shouldn't completely disrespect him like people are doing.

The sad thing is that his funeral service on tv had worse ratings than wipeout. Probably just shows the mindset of that channels audience I guess.
