A lot of people believe that Jon Benet died as a result of manslaughter. I don't know of anyone who believes her death was premeditated.
Yes, he should be hounded. And worse.

Patsy Ramsey was Miss West Virginia, that's an accomplishment too.

I'm not a Republican, but I agree with him completely. Are you saying that supporting a murderer is a Democrat tenet?

I for one do. You obviously don't read the JBR Forum.

No, I am saying that by bringing this all up when you find out the man is dying of cancer is very much a partison thing to do.

Could'a fooled me!:doh: Okay, what'd you do with the real Karole, and where have you been hiding her/him all along???

No, it's a human thing to do. Dying of cancer doesn't absolve anyone.

Ok, I can't even get my mind around how it could possibly be premeditated, but I won't argue that with you here.
Being a Kennedy, a Senator, having a brain tumor, like being a beauty pageant queen, is not license to kill.

He didn't actively kill her, and winning a beauty pageant is not on the same level as being a senator.
The evidence suggest that no, he didn't "actively" kill her but his ACTIONS did submerge her in the car to die slowly. Whether he commited other crimes against her that night is open to debate.
So you believe elected officials are in some way 'above' the rest of us, beauty queens or not?

I only came here to pay my respects to the man...not to debate a 40 year old case which is closed. If you want the case reopened...talk to the people responsible for doing that so you can go after him. I thought this thread was to discuss his medical condition which I find horrendous. I feel sorry for him and his family.

I didn't say that, Trino. I am not surprised it has become an "off with his head" thread, but I do feel it is in poor taste.

We could take a look at some of the terrific things he has had a hand in accomplishing in his legislative career:
"the Civil Rights Act of 1964, for which he delivered his maiden Senate speech; the Voting Rights Act of 1965; the expansion of the voting franchise to 18-year-olds; the $24 billion Kennedy-Hatch law of 1997, which provided health insurance to children with a new tax on tobacco; two increases in the minimum wage; the Kennedy-Kassebaum bill, which made health insurance portable for workers; the 1988 law that allocated $1.2 billion for AIDS testing, treatment and research; the 1990 Americans With Disabilities Act; the 1993 Family and Medical Leave Act; and last year's 1,200-page education reform act, which he negotiated directly with President Bush and his staff.
Kennedy has also helped abolish the poll tax, liberalize immigration laws, fund cancer research and create the Meals on Wheels program for shut-ins and the elderly. In 1985 Kennedy and Republican Lowell Weicker co-sponsored the legislation that imposed economic sanctions on the apartheid government of South Africa. The bill became law despite opposition from Bob Dole, a filibuster by Jesse Helms and a veto by President Reagan. Only Kennedy could have mustered the votes to override by 78 to 21 a veto from Reagan at the height of his power."

I understand that this list may excite Dems more the Repubs, but some of it should touch all of us! He really has led an amazing life. I did not know that he helped create Meals on Wheels. My Dad was heavily involved in that program with our church when I was younger.

My exact sentiments.
That's why we love ya, JBean!
This website is very informative, they said she was alive for up to an hour or so. Ted left and went back to the party :waitasec:, Mmmmm... Anyway this is a good site.http://www.ytedk.com/chappindex.htm
I agree, Linask...jmo, but some people may only know Senator Ted Kennedy from the Mary Jo story and do not know him in the political sense.
