~TED KENNEDY SCHOOLS MITT ROMNEY-SENATE LION PREVAILS~ REP. JOE KENNEDY III, age 34

Last edited Sat Apr 18, 2015, 09:35 PM - Edit history (4)

Incumbent Senator Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA) and Mitt Romney (R) compete in the Massachusetts Senatorial Debate, 1994 at historic Faneuil Hall, Boston. On the subject of health care and Roe v. Wade the Liberal Lion and the challenger display the heart of the matter, in under two minutes. *(VIDEO, 2 minutes).

*Rep. JOE KENNEDY III, Convention speaker at the 2012 DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION in support of President Barack Obama and the campaigning for the President by his late Uncle Ted Kennedy (d. 2009).

In his speech, Rep. Kennedy stresses historic Democratic Party values of protecting the middle class, healthcare, affordable education, women's rights and peace; also the right to organize and the importance of security for senior Americans.

*Rep. Joe Kennedy (b. 1980) is the son of Joseph P. Kennedy II; he and fraternal twin brother Matt are the eldest grandsons of RFK, Robert F. Kennedy. In 2012 Kennedy was elected to the Congressional seat long held by retiring Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank. *(VIDEO, 2:50 minutes).

him. Our ranks have thinned from the lions except Bernie, Warren but they will rebuild! I'm certain-

The Democrats have a long, proud heritage and it's time we focused on it! Especially the emphasis on people, service, community and country-

McGovern. I cried as I watched RFK get shot.

But I just wonder why Hillary Clinton scores the Dynasty Fatigue Label, as the wife of a President...and only the 2nd Clinton (actually, first Rodham) to run. Caroline Kennedy got some flack when she indicated interest, so quickly left the scene. But how many Kennedy men were and are in office...with nary a Dynasty Peep that I've heard?

And I will cherish it, the values this party built with the help of the people to foster service, bettering society, people and democracy. Corporations and globalization be danged.

was not old enough to vote, but those positive images have remained. I actually met Nixon once. But that's another story. Seems the corporations and globalization ships have already sailed starting back at the Industrial Revolution.

I struggle with it, too. But it's like saying we have to go back to cooking fresh food everything (which would be better for us)...no fast food, no deli, no frozen food. We're more used to it than we know. Things have moved ahead and turning back the clock/economy is not going to happen. I wish I knew what the answer was, but better minds than mine have looked at it. Everything we see or touch these days sources from a corporation somewhere, and we're not always sure from which country. It's overwhelming.
