Sen. Edward Kennedy Iraq Speech at National Press Club

[farleybenjamin]

Ted is the last of the true speakers left in politics. Just the fact that he allows comments is an indicator of his openess and integrity.

Makes me proud to be a resident of Massachusetts, too. Ted has given many, many years to our country, one of the last truly great Americans we have. Look at him compared to those snakes in the White House we have now.

[Forshman]

Fully agree.

[motionbreak]

This speech makes me proud to be a resident of Massachusetts.

Wow! That pretty much says it, dosn't it? Two years ago the republicans convinced a majority of americans that they were the true patriot's party, now they look like murderous fools and their religious right supporters come off as backwood snake handlers... Edwards/Obama 2008

[noblindeye]

Finally, we find our collective voice.

Power to the People!

Thank you Senator Kennedy. Once again you move forward as a leader in the rich tradition of the Kennedy legacy, and the American progressive movement. You have my full admiration.

[barrelmaster]

[channelsoulg]

Thank you Ted kenney you are an inspiration to us all!

[pyzmark]

Wonderful use of historical parallelism.

[antiNAU]

Nice quote from Tennyson...I didn't know the senator had it in him.

[jvent68]

Go Teddy Go!

[k2six]

Why do you need a bill to make the President follow the constitution?

[frater0]

Simply Amazing.. I agree if Bush does not let the congress have oversight and the purse strings.. Impeach.

[jaycon44]

Impeach Bush

[jaycon44]

Impeach Bush!

[JamJells]

Thank you Senator Kennedy for reaching out to us any way you can. Please continue to advocate a sound course to take which will include the people who wish to have a say in where we are going in Iraq.

WHERE IS MY POST?

[headofyourfanclub]

Succinct. Well stated. Thank you. It should be made clear that this is not about cutting funding, or cutting troops. It is whether or not the President can act on his own without approval from congress.

[xMannyfestox]

Good speech but who are the Harts? Why do politions always throw random names into their speeches? It always feels like they are exploiting someone in order to give the speech a feeling of a personal connection. It always fails to impress anyone.

[petewsh61]

Thank you Senator Kennedy for standing up to Bush's constitutional power grab.

Today a Fox News reporter said he was an ""Hostile Enemy"..Not a right wing pundit, a reporter. People were defending Fox news saying that Fox reporters are different from people like Hannity. My ass they are! The clip is at crooks and liars. I never thought that in America you would be attacked relentlessly by the media for free speech. Fox actually isn't the media and they should be called out on it.
