Sen. Ted Kennedy
Sen. Edward M. “Ted” Kennedy (D-Mass.), the super-liberal regarded by many as the “Lion of the Senate”, passed away at approximately 12:30 a.m. Central today.
Senator Kennedy died at his home in Hyannisport after a long battle with brain cancer, according to a statement issued by the Kennedy family which appears below:
“Edward M. Kennedy — the husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle we loved so deeply — died late Tuesday night at home in Hyannis Port.
Regardless of whether you agreed with him and his ultra-left positions — on health care, for instance — his passing marks the end of an era in the Kennedy family’s tragic history.
Senator Kennedy lost two brothers — President John F. Kennedy and Sen. Bobby Kennedy — to assassins. In 1969, he was involved in the drunk-driving death of Mary Jo Kopechne at Chappaquiddick.

Conservatives are right on cue. Hurry up and have Freedomworks create a document with ways to put down Ted Kennedy…damn, they man did a lot for America. Look at the legislation he helped pass in his 50 years in the senate. http://www.ranker.com/list/top-10-ted-kennedy-legislations/litgoddess

Jane — Ted Kennedy’s so-called “greatness” was more a product of his liberal colleagues and the liberal media than anything he did. Your linked-to page is a joke.
