Let's have a praise thread for Ted Kennedy!

[Loyal]

This might be a dupe or whatever, but I think it deserves repeating.

Ted Kennedy had so much courage to stand up and tell it like it is about the Bush administration. He had the courage to call this war what it is: a fraud perpetrated by Bush and his cronies.

I'm so proud that Ted is still around in the United States Senate after all of these years and that he's still standing up for the little people.

He also called Tom DeLay a chickenhawk! hehe!

Here's to Ted! :toast: :toast:

3. a great man, heres my letter

Senator Kennedy this isnt a request but a thank you for calling the Bush adminstration out on their terrible war. I have always admired you senator and your noble family. Its a shame you were never president sir. I bet your parents and your deceased brothers and sisters are looking on the baby of the family you sir with great pride. This is the year to take the country back from the ignorant Bush adminstration. Senator I also wish the Red Sox the best of luck although I am a Orioles fan, I hate the Yankees as much as Boston. I know thats irrelevant sir but I thought I read somewhere you were a fan. Keep it up senator, and we are lucky to have you with us. Thank you

4. Ted is getting indirect support from mainstream media

<snip>'Coalition of the willing' sees this as payback time
By Jim Krane
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Now comes the payback for the 26-nation "coalition of the willing" that joined the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq.

Those countries are looking for the Bush administration to return the favor for their support. Mongolia, which has 174 troops in Iraq, wants free trade with the United States.

Turkey, considering sending 10,000 troops, just won $8.5 billion in U.S. loan guarantees. Poland, Serbia, Latvia and others want contracts to rebuild Iraq's infrastructure.

"They've chipped in and they want a piece of the action," said John Pike of the defense consultancy GlobalSecurity.org.

Few governments openly ask for rewards for their service in Iraq. And experts say favors from the United States, although a routine part of diplomacy, were probably not promised in advance.

But participation of countries as small as Macedonia - population 2 million - and Estonia - with 1.4 million people - have given a valuable international stamp to a war that received no backing from the United Nations and is largely perceived as a unilateral U.S. act. The 20,000 troops supplied by coalition countries so far also ease the burden on the 130,000 U.S. soldiers in Iraq.

For that, experts say, the United States is willing to pay.

6. Hey, Ted Kennedy is telling like it is.

I admire him because of his sincerity and courage. There has been so much tragedy in his life, but still he perseveres. He STILL has a voice, thank God.
