Hello My name is Mary Jo Kopechne.



I would have been 65 years of age this year.



Read about me and my killer below.






When Sen. Ted Kennedy was merely just another Democrat bloating on Capitol Hill on behalf of liberal causes, it was perhaps excusable to ignore his deplorable past.

But now that he's become Sen. John Kerry's leading campaign attack dog, positioning himself as Washington's leading arbiter of truth and integrity, the days for such indulgence are now over.

It's time for the GOP to stand up and remind America why Sen. Kerry's chief spokesman had to abandon his own presidential bid in 1980 - time to say the words Mary Jo Kopechne out loud.

As is often the case, Republicans have deluded themselves into thinking that most Americans already know the story of how this "Conscience of the Democratic Party" left Miss Kopechne behind to die in the waters underneath the Edgartown Bridge in July 1969, after a night of drinking and partying with the young blonde campaign worker. But most Americans under 40 have never heard that story, or details of how Kennedy swam to safety, then tried to get his cousin Joe Garghan to say he was behind the wheel.

Those young voters don't know how Miss Kopechne, trapped inside Kennedy's Oldsmobile, gasped for air until she finally died, while the Democrats' leading Iraq war critic rushed back to his compound to formulate the best alibi he could think of.

Neither does Generation X know how Kennedy was thrown out of Harvard on his ear 15 years earlier -- for paying a fellow student to take his Spanish final.

As they listen to the Democrats' "Liberal Lion" accuse President Bush of "telling lie after lie after lie" to get America to go to war in Iraq, young voters don't know about that notorious 1991 Easter weekend in Palm Beach, when Uncle Teddy rounded up his nephews for a night on the town, an evening that ended with one of them credibly accused of rape.

It's time for Republicans to state unabashedly that they will no longer "go along with the gag" when it comes to Uncle Ted's rants about deception and moral turpitude inside the Bush White House. And if the Republicans don't, let's do it ourselves by passing this forgotten disgrace around the Internet to wake up memories of what a fraud and fake Teddy really is.

The Democratic Party, not to mention Sen. John Kerry, should be ashamed to have the national disgrace from Massachusetts as their spokesman. And the GOP needs to say so out loud. I remember all of this and I'm sure most of you do, too.

The entire Kennedy clan from (Joe, John, Ted and their relatives), Clinton and Kerry; Do we want them running our country ??

Actually yes: It is self-evident that Bill Clinton would have wiped the floor with George W. Bush in 2000, and would do so this year.

Not sure of the point of this.

Osama bin Laden's brother help set George W. Bush up in the oil business.

Well the point is that people should be reminded that he is a drunken killer, when he tries to claim the moral high ground.

Actually, the point was to imply Kerry was practically behind the wheel.

I didnt say that and maybe its a campain stratagey to use someone who knows about being morally bankrupt to point out those faults in the Bush administration. :D

Well let's see. Laura Welch (now Bush) was driving home from a party when she ran a stop sign at 50 m.p.h. and killed a young man. Fortunately, she was a girl from a well to do family and the boy she killed was from the country. Not only was Ms. Welch never even investigated for drinking at a party and then driving, she wasn't even cited for running the stop sign.

Quote:It's a terrible feeling to be responsible for an accident. And it was horrible for all of us to lose him, especially since he was so young," she said in an interview with Oprah magazine. "But at some point I had to accept that death is a part of life, and as tragic as losing Mike was, there was nothing anyone could do to change that.

No Laura. You weren't responsible for an accident. You were responsible for a young man's death. Spare me the moral high ground from the right.

Well, let's see, Teddy COULD'VE helped Mary Jo, but didn't want his wife to find out. He allowed her to drown. I don't understand how anyone can take up for that drunk. She died intentionally. He could have saved her. He didn't. Laura, while wrong in what she did, didn't set out that night to hit another person. He intentionally left her to drown.

If you don't see the point in this, well....read it again and if that doesn't help you maybe check out a reading comprehension class ???

Is this anything like intentionally misleading Congress and the American people repeatedly?
