I am a car nut. I also strongly disagree with the considerable majority of car nuts about most political issues. Finally, car nuts -- being car nuts, not political junkies -- tend to be much better informed about cars than they are about politics.
The result is that car nuts arguing politics is something that threatens to make my brain explode.
So, I request... if you want to argue politics, go visit a politics site. Don't do it here (except maybe on issues that are directly car-related, like CAFE, C4C, or the gas tax). I suppose a thread on Teddy was unavoidable, but I would also humbly ask the powers-that-be to post more articles on cars and fewer on political topics.

In honor of the death of this murderer, here is a graphic representation of the license plate on the murder weapon.

Just let it be, don't contribute any further trollish comments, and by tomorrow, we'll have forgotten all about this post.

And whoever wrote that VW add should be fired. Or better yet, hire Jezza.

Have some respect for the dead, regardless of your political stance. Some of you have shown your true colors, and serious lack of class. Good job.

with Nancy Pelosi.

I was thinking that in tribute, all Olds Delta 88's turned in for Cash 4 Clunkers should hereby be disposed of a la Ted. Preferably with Nancy Pelosi inside one of them.

Edward Kennedy

I have friends, who weren't even born when this accident happened, who can't stop talking about it. I know it was a tragic event that Ted Kennedy didn't handle well, but stop listening to talk radio and get some ideas of your own.

"So! Mr. Kennedy! Or, should I say rather, SENATOR Kennedy! So happy to finally see you here! We’ve been waiting for you for a long time, and frankly, most of us were taking bets on what exactly would finally get you."
"Oh?" Said Ted.
"Yeah, that damn Michael, you know, the Archangel? He had ‘brain cancer’. Lucky sonombitch. Looks like I owe him another pack of Heavenly Strikes. Anyway, where were we? Oh yes! Mr. Kennedy. SENATOR Kennedy! Come right on in!"
"Really?" Said Senator Kennedy. "You…you mean I’m welcome here? In _heaven_?"
"Sure, you betcha!" Said Saint Peter. "All you have to do is go right over there- see that Oldsmobile parked there, right next to the lake of Fire and Brimstone? There’s a young woman sitting in the driver’s seat- she’ll take you right over the bridge, over the lake, and into Heaven. Just watch her though- I think she’s been drinking."
The Senator thought, "This seems awfully familiar…"

We get it. You worshipped the guy, as many did. However, you have to understand that there is more than just your opinion in the world of political discourse.
Those of us who do not like Ted Kennedy have our reasons. Most, if not all, of these reasons are based in fact. You may choose to ignore the fact that Senator Kennedy was guilty of at least manslaughter or negligent homicide in the death of Mary Jo Kopechne. You may choose to ignore the fact that he was one of the more liberal Senators, and that most of this country does not identify with the far left ideology. You may choose to ignore the fact that he made a career of being a Senator. Not a statesman, or a person who gives up their career to serve their country for a short time, but a career politician who had no other skill than being able to shake the right hands and kiss the right babies. You may choose to ignore the fact that he was a drunk, made statements that were very anti-Protestant during the troubles in Ireland, a womanizer and an abuser of his power and name.
You don't have to agree with me, and you can choose to ignore these parts of Kennedy's life. However we both do a disservice to the man and this country if we only focus on one facet of a person's life.
I ask you, Unregular, that you refrain from tearing down commenters who disagree with you or your view of Kennedy and respect everyone's right to their opinion and their right to express their opinion. I think Senator Kennedy would ask you do the same.
