Sen. Kennedy also fights for net neutrality, which is the fundamental principle that keeps the internet the way we like it, free and open to use by everyone with access to it. Without net neutrality, sites like YouTube would not exist as they do now.

Anyone else notice that Senator Kennedy didn't look down at notes once during his speech? Not even the President-Elect can give a speech without glancing at his notes every few seconds. Just goes to show you how strong a guy Kennedy is, even for having brain cancer. He is my state's senator, and we're proud to have him with us.

the lion of the senate :)

You're not very smart are you. That "old fart" as you so put it, is non other than Edward "Ted" Kennedy, the last of the Kennedy political line. One of the best senators this country as ever seen. He's a great man.

seems like an old fart to me. what's so special about this speech? All i see is an old man who is delirious...but his mind is probably more together than most dems

What you don't understand is the most basic principle of these men. True, they are both wealthy, however, Kennedy works to help the needy while McCain only care for the wealthy.

What a class act Edward Kennedy is.

Sen. Kennedy may have faults just like any other earthly being, but one thing is for sure....you can never say he didn't fight for you! If you were poor, a minority, a woman, or in some other way...disadvantaged in society...this man was always championing equality for you and your condition. May God continue to richly bless the Kennedy family and Sen. Kennedy especially! I will not stand in judgment, for let those without sin cast the first stone!

If you think Sarah Palin is the answer to the Republican Party's woes...you are dreaming. I supported Hillary Clinton and am a registered Independent. Im not particularly fund of either party, but rather the candidate. However, as a person with some academic credentials to speak on this subject, I can tell you that the winner of this election will be the person who best articulates their economic policy. Americans are hurting and Republicans have really fucked over this nation! God help us all!

Thanks for posting!

You seem really hung up on that. Did you, by chance, find toilet training difficult and traumatic? Sorry about that. Hint: Most folks aren't interested in hearing about it.

your a real dick

You act exactly as if you have no idea that your words more effectively brand you an idiot than anything anybody else could say. Knock yourself out... You're doing a great job.

True, I suppose; but if they tried to portray him anyother way, it would have been desingenuous, and obvious. Kennedys are pretty polarizing figures.

Kennedy's a good man. However, I don't know about the effectiveness of that movie of him riding around in his huge sailboat when you're trying to sell that your party is in touch with the middle class or making fun of McCain cuz his wife is rich?? Oh well, enjoy the spectacle tonight.

I assume that you must be a conservative, right-wing, nut job. Only a conservative, right-wing, nut job would make ignorant replies such as yours because you have no real insight on any real issues. All you have is the ability to name call and slander.

get a life loser

OBAMA-BIDEN '08

Ted Kennedy is a warrior. No doubt.
