Here's my beef with the Kennedy's and why the very name leaves a bad taste in my mouth:

Rich politicians are all the same - they cry about poverty and underprivilege and say that we must pay more in taxes to provide for those who can't provide for themselves. Yet how much of their own money do they donate to the cause? How much of Kathleen Townsend's trust fund went to buy books for a local school? What exactly does Caroline Kennedy do with her money and influence besides head up organizations and throw fundraisers to get OTHER PEOPLE to cough up? What is Ted Kennedy spending his inheritance on besides booze?

And don't get me started with these liberal celebrities. Martin Sheen gnashes his teeth about poverty and homelessness and tries to shame us into helping financially - all the while he lives in a multi-million dollar home and has a collection of expensive cars. The money he spent on just one of his automobiles would feed a family for a year. But no - he wants US to give them money out of our middle-income.

Talk about hypocrisy!

The Kennedy family is incredibly compassionate to the poor and they do share their wealth with the less fortunate, which is more than can be said for Bob Ehrlich. Have you ever heard of the Special Olympics? Guess who started it, the Kennedys. And if you want the rich to provide all their money to the poor maybe you should yourself. Instead of buying that dress or that new car, give that money to the poor. Mrs. Townsend is a great woman and does not deserve the personal attack that you bestowed upon her.

Honey, I hate to burst your bubble, but that's what KKT is running on. Talking about all the money she's going to put into education, community programs, yadda yadda. Where do you think that money is coming from? Hint: it's not coming from the people that those programs would benefit - they don't HAVE any money or they wouldn't have a problem. Direct transfer of wealth - just not THEIR wealth.

KKT has significantly more money than I have. If she wants all these welfare programs, let HER pay for it. That's all the Democrats do: if something isn't working they immediately shout, "MORE MONEY!!" Even though money and funding has never solved the main problems of education, they still want more. But they're not talking about THEIR money - they're talking about MINE.

You can call it an "attack" if you want but it's still the truth.

Lets see... Between the rapes, drugs, boozing, bar fights, manslaughter, illegal-liquor that created the family fortune, too many DWI's to count and other assorted misdeeds... Your right they have contributed a lot!

As for KKT she has her own baggage, one of my personal favorites was her assertion that the Public Works department was her personal snowplow service.

Vrai's dead on! The Kennedy's need to start being generous with their own money and leave the taxpayers funds alone. As a matter of fact it's time for the Kennedy Clan to get off public assistance and find a real jobs if they can find someone stupid enough to hire them.

Of course we'll have to make certain Teddy never becomes a Cabbie!
