OK 48 hours of ted the man boy is enough. This guy's last name gets him WAY too much attention. Let's pay attention to the destuction of LIBERTY he was responsible for. The government's job is not to provide for the people. It is to protect them from intrusion on their liberty. Teddy's healthcare scam is the biggest leap into communism our country will ever see if passed. Any politition even considering ANY form of this tyrannical bill is NOT eligible to be reelected. KICK THEM ALL OUT IN 2010 !!!!!!

Hey Stan and OB, we are still gonna be paying for all of kennedy's spending way past another 77years. what a legacy, The little guy should help themselves..Raaaaandy. I started from nothing a made myself into something, without NOBODYS help. It's used to be the american way. But some people rely on somebody else to help them, that is SO wrong.

Teddy contributed alot to this country. I don't agree with the majority of his policy contributions but he was generally a fair man who unquestionably believed in this country. The same cannot be said for the band of communist sympathizers currently in czar roles in Washington. Our country's leader surrounding himself with these types and placing them in powerful roles should make everyone, republican, democrat and other pay attention and take notice of what is happening. Please don't blindly follow this leader people, pay attention before its too late.

To those of you who felt you just had to share your ugly comments: It must be difficult being so perfect...having no faults...and having to share the world with the rest of us. Honestly, do you ever really listen to yourselves? It can't be healthy to be filled with such hate. Don't forget...there will be a judgment day for ALL, you are not exempt.

Thanks to Steve, got it, underwear. Matthew, One other thing that I forgot to mention is that Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my handgun.

I wont throw mud like these "compassionate" conservatives. Sen Hatch (R) gave a beautiful statement, may God bless him and his family. Sen Kennedy was not perfect, I never knew a perfect person, but he fought hard for Unions and working men and women. He voted against the war in Iraq when it wasn't popular to do so. We must pass the Ted Kennedy Health Care for All Act.

Senator Kennedy was a great American original. His guidance and advocacy for the poor will be missed.

It's absolutely pathetic that people cannot look past party lines and at least acknowledge the good the man has done for the country. All you see is a few things you disagree with that he's done, and you automatically label him a 'drunk liberal', or other ridiculous terms. He was an American, loved this country, and worked to better it, even if you don't agree with all his policies. Show some respect, you white-trash rednecks. Just because he doesn't belong to "God's party", doesn't mean he's a bad person.

Do you really know where he is headed? Do you know what was in his heart when he died? I am so tired of you people passing your judgement like you are so righteous. I'd be worried of Karma biting back if I were you.

Well the future will be interesting?!? Bio: Pro-abortion and pro-homosexual. I wonder if the Catholic Church will allow his funeral in the church? I remember not to long ago when the Church was discussing not allowing cummunion for these left wing liberals. He did his part in making America though.

I cannot believe WNDU would print Steve's comments, that is inappropriate.

Sadly this does not affect me.....Maybe now he will get his just punishment for the things in life he has done. My only regret is that this country turned a blind eye to his past!
