Horrible, I've been depressed about the state of our country as of late. To lose another example of American leadership, the kind we don't seem to have any more, is very sad.

I feel that same way as so many others - I knew it was coming, but I definitely wasn't prepared when I heard the news. RIP Ted.

^^^^^

This of course.

I just find out and I'm shocked. He was one of those very few politicians we could call a statesmen. His legacy will live forever.

RIP Sad

Hopefully, Ted will take this opportunity to apologize in person to Mary Jo Kopechne.

Expected, but still strangely shocking - I suppose because "he's always been there" or something.

An end to an era.  With no "real" Kennedy's left in politics (Congressman Kennedy has no real influence in the House), the final chapter is written in one of the more influencial families in politics.

I can't say that I particularly liked neither Kennedy's politics nor his character, but he must be respected for his clear devotion for his line of work.  He certainly made a difference to this country and stood as a strong figure for his cause.

Very sad. There's not much that can be said now, but Ted Kennedy, no matter how much you may disagree with his politics, was a truly great American and one of the best senators of all time.

May he rest in peace.

I've lost interest in the forum and I've wasted far too much time here.

To those I consider forum friends, it's been nice and I hope to keep contact in some form.

I was thinking today that Republicans must feel similarly today as I did when President Reagan died. Respect for what he meant to his colleagues and followers, for his undeniable place in history as an agent of change, how much he meant to people like his wife and to Margaret Thatcher whose appearance at his funeral were unforgettable. Whatever I felt about his legacy didn't matter that day except that people know that lots of people disagreed with his policies and didn't mourn him. It was enough to acknowledge that there was disagreement, and to let people mourn. 

I respect that lots of Americans had no love for Senator Kennedy's policies, his rhetoric, or the scandals in his personal life from the 60s through the 80s. He was a flawed man in many ways and an opponent of many people's views. I can say much about why he did matter, but there will be no shortage of such speeches this week, so I don't need to. It's good that as a country we can communicate basic respect for someone who was considered a uniter among his colleagues in Washington, if not among the nation as a whole.
