Please we do not need another Kennedy.

The Kennedy family has been referred to as "the royal family" of America. I find this disturbing.

# The Kennedy family fortune came from bootlegging booze during the Prohibition.

# Joe Sr. was a Nazi sympathizer who made money doing deals with the Third Reich.

# JFK''s allegedly had affairs with Marilyn Monroe .She...died

# JKF had connections to crime organizations, including the Mafia.

# Ted Kennedy drove a car off a bridge on Massachusetts'' Chappaquiddick Island after a party, fatally injuring aide Mary Jo Kopechne. He then left her to die after escaping.

# Ted''s son Patrick, now a Congressman, sought treatment for cocaine addiction as a teenager.

# Joe II Kennedy ex-wife published a book "Shattered Faith" that depicts him as a narcissistic bully and protests his efforts to have their 12-year marriage annulled. The annulment got overturned and his next marriage was not in the Catholic church.

# Michael Kennedy drew negative publicity for an affair with his family''s underage baby sitter.

# William Kennedy Smith was accused of rape at the family''s Palm Beach, Florida, estate after a party with Uncle Ted. He was acquitted.

# David Kennedy overdosed in drugs and died in 1984.

# Bobby Jr. was found in possession of marijuana while a juvenile.

# Bobby Jr. overdosed on heroin in 1983 while aboard an airplane. He was arrested upon landing.

You see, the Kennedy family isn''t so great. Are they still royalty? Do they still represent America?

I don''t think there''s a particularly long list of qualifications for becoming a United States Senator so I don''t see why Ms. Kennedy would be unqualified. As to those who are pi$$ed off about the name "Kennedy" coming up again, why is it any worse than the name "Bush" coming up again? Oh, and there is one distinct difference between Ms. Kennedy and Governor Palin. Ms. Kennedy is intelligent.

She has little qualifications to be a Senator and considering the clean life she has lead, she doesn''t even have the qualifications to be a Kennedy.

There are no hard and fast qualifications for the Senate other than the support of the people of your state.

Oh you mean kind of like VP? With a screen name like "Mcliar" you probably were not talking AT ALL about Palin''s qualifications when she was picked for the Repub ticket....Right? I personally do not think that Obama is "qualified" for the job of President.... That does not mean that he can''t legally be elected if he can dupe enough people into voting for him.

You know you and you fascist friends aren''t taking all this well at all. Considering YOU and your Leaders are responsible for the Economic Meltdown we are now enjoying it''s going to be a VERY long time before you can get America to buy into "trickle down" again...in fact YOU will probably die without seeing then crawl out from under their rocks again! LOL
