HOPE IT HURTSMay 18th, 2008 - 11:21:09

Lovely ! Now the fat insignificant jerk can reminisce on the girl he murdered, whilst gawping at the hospital ceiling.

A member of the infamous Kennedy clan who made their money on illicit booze during the prohibition years, now all their ill-gotten fortunes will not mean a rusty dime.

ADIOS Ted, make it a full set and match.

Making money selling booze is far better than making the family fortune dealing with the Nzis, like the Bush family did.

SP4: a second shot of reality:Bada Bing!May 18th, 2008 - 21:11:36

If you're refering to pre-war america, you'd have a long list of those who dealt with Nazi's, just like the Clintons dealt with the communists in China, today (try the Roosevelts). When you think about it, that is not much of an indictment, but then again, when you take campaign finds and then sell Most Favored Nation status for them, like Clinton did for China, I guess the Bush record does not look too bad, eh?

Then again, Mr. Bush was never a mobster like Kennedy's Dad, old Joe. This is how he got Sam Giancana to fix the 1960 election: He got Frank Sinatra as the go-between, to get ol Sam to stuff the ballot boxes.

Boy, did it work.

You know, when it comes to stealing elections, those republicans could learn a thing or two from America's first family...and I mean 'Family'!

not: 'If you're refering to pre-war america'
I was referring to the war years. That blows you and your bloody bada ding out of the water. Go suck a lemon followed by some sour grapes, moron.

Yes, I`m definitely becoming a fan of yours ; will you marry me ?

It`s OK these Islamic and Democratic turd-balls making coarse and insulting remarks about your wisdom, but they are obviously completely devoid of any serious knowledge or finesse. Democrats can only talk the language of the masses and Islamists too obsessed with becoming martyrs.

Kennedy`s old man actually signed his beloved Jack`s death warrant by dealing with the Mafia to rig the Presidential election. Even then, lovable Jack only just scraped through by the seat of his pants. Without the Mafia, he would have lost.

Then when the Kennedy duo got tough on the Mafia later, an immaculate plan was hatched to bump poor old Jack off - that`s what you get for ratting on Cosa Nostra. Still, look on the bright side, it gave Marilyn Monroe a rest. She could at last close her legs.

The left can never stand the scrutiny they pile on the right.

Consider Ted Kennedy - he f--king killed a girl in a drunken stupor by drowning her.

Senator Bob Packwood put his hand on a reporter's ass and was drummed out of the senate for it. In how many other cases can we see the dems giving their leaders a pass on stuff the republicans would have to endure some kind of Jihad.

Watergate is a good example. Nixon was told,after the fact, about a crime and for that was forced to resign. He had no real involvement, and only hid the facts, which is anyone's right to not speak to the authorities under the 5th amendment, unless granted immunity.

Clinton, by comparison, gets up in front of US federal judge and tells a bald face lie, plain and simple. You and I would be in jail. Louis Libby was convicted for no other reason than it was their word against his, for something that was never a crime to begin with!

What happens to Clinton?

Nothing. He gets a pass.

Bush is another great example. He is pilloried for some kind of connection to the oil companies...

When Clinton sold influence to AMOCO and greenlighted EVERY oil merger in his administration!

Enron - Bush was pilloried for it while Clinton and other dems sold influence to them just a few years before.

So now we have this urban legend about the Bush family to throw crap on GW, while the Kennedy's get a pass for rigging elections, but it was Bush who stole an election???? What did he do, stick it under his coat?.

It's the double standard we object to.

Really,SP4...
I'm going to spell this out for you. President A (I'm not naming any names here) Helps the economy and makes the US a safer and more respected place. But president A also has an affair and lies about it. president B Destroys the US's economy and credibility and gets us into a war in which we spend trillions of dollars and thousands of lives. which one deserves to be impeached???
talk about a double standard

Yep ! I`m now a committed follower - together we`ll bash that Belgium Bum.

Look for the '$'

PS
The only call to fame Belgium has, is that it provides a huge resting place for the tens of thousands of American, Canadian and British young men, who saved Belgium TWICE from becoming a permanent part of the Greater Germany.

Also they provide the symbol of the POPPY from Flanders Fields as a
unique lapel emblem for Veterans Day or Armistice Day.

SP4 has the same sick, demented view of reality as Bush, and both should be executed.
