TEDDY AND THE DEMS - A SHORT HISTORY

UPDATE: THIS POST WAS WRITTEN AND POSTED HOURS BEFORE TED KENNEDY HAD HIS SEIZURES.

The Kennedy's have had a huge and lasting impact on the Democrat Party. It wasn't always bad.

In 1960, JFK ran as a hawk against Nixon. His poppa stole the election. He bailed out on Cuba and blinked in the Missile Crisis, but was tough on Vietnam.

RFK - who helped McCarthy hunt commies in the 1950's and went after the mob and MLK as USAG - was a late opponent to the Vietnam War and a late entrant into the race for POTUS. He was to the right of Gene McCarthy.

Then there's Teddy - the baby of the family: a cheat in college (HE WAS EXPELLED FROM HARVARD FOR CHEATING!), a drunk, a womanizer and a lying MURDERER. And a traitor; (he worked with the KGB in the 1980's).

And he has pretty much run the Democrat Party since 1984.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK BACK:



"Family man" Teddy tried to take the party over in 1980, but failed: he ran against the Democrat SITTING president, Jimmy Carter, and took the contest to the Convention. All the way to a CREDENTIALS fight. His battle weakened Carter. That was a good thing - it helped RWR get elected. Of course... Teddy attacked Carter FORM THE LEFT, NOT THE RIGHT! Carter was too much of a centrist for Teddy. And the left. (These are the same folks who think that the NYTIMES is part of the Bushitler cabal!)

In 1984, two comrades of Teddy's vied for the nomination: liberal US SENATOR Hart did well, but liberal US SENATOR Mondale won by parroting a BURGER KING COMMERCIAL - asking Hart, "Where the beef!?" a reference to his lack of specifics. (Compared to Obama, Hart was as INCREDIBLY specific. HOW TIMES CHANGE!)

In 1988, Teddy gave us his Governor, Mike Dukakis. (Kerry was his Lt Guv!)



In 1992, Teddy tried to give us his Senator, Paul Tsongas. But Bubba Clinton pulled it out.

In 2000, VP Gore beat Bradley. Gore carried Massachusetts easily.

In 2004, Teddy gave us Kerry. In fact, he SAVED Kerry's campaign by giving him his chief of staff and campaigning with him in Iowa. Kerry won Iowa and the nomination because of Teddy.



NOW IT'S 2008, and Teddy endorsed OBAMA and campaigned with him in Iowa and helped him win Iowa and --- it seems now --- the nomination.



The Democrat Party is once again Teddy's. It's a party with much more in common with Teddy and McGovern than with JFK or Clinton.

It's the party of doves, appeasers, tax-and-spenders.

Of a lying, traitorous murderer.

And in that sense, Obama is its perfect standard bearer.

(Now that Teddy's FINALLY too old.)

CAUTION: The Kennedy/Chicago Machine will try to steal this election as they stole it in 1960.

WE MUSTN'T LET THEM.

Even if it means electing ... McCain.

[NOTE: Despite Teddy's and Kerry's endorsement of Obama, Hillary kicked Obama's butt in the Massachusetts primary. I think this shows how REALLY REALLY WEAK Obama is as a candidate in the fall. Obama ONLY beat Hillary in Blue states and only because of getting 90% of the black vote. THEREFORE: Obama will get slaughtered in the swing states this fall. YEAH BABY!]
