If you want a scandal, and a cover-up that succeeded to a remarkable degree, look no further than Chappaquiddick

Worst case, Trump paid Stormy Daniels. But he didn’t kill her. That distinguishes him from the Liberal Lion of the Senate. If you want a scandal, and a cover-up that succeeded to a remarkable degree, look no further than Chappaquiddick. The Democratic Party conspired to cover up Ted Kennedy’s crime–manslaughter, in a particularly vile form–to preserve his political viability, at the cost of an innocent young woman’s life.

To this day, most people have no idea what the Chappaquiddick scandal was all about. That is how successful the Democrats’ cover-up has been. Most Americans assume that Kennedy was guilty of drunk driving and negligently causing the death of Mary Jo Kopechne. But the truth is much worse.

FLASHBACK: Ted Kennedy Secretly Asked The Soviets To Intervene In The 1984 Elections & Help Defeat Reagan

TruePundit:

According to Soviet documents unearthed in the early 1990’s, Kennedy literally asked the Soviets, avowed enemies of the U.S., to intervene on behalf of the Democratic party in the 1984 elections. 

Kennedy’s communist communique was so secret that it was not discovered until 1991, eight years after Kennedy had initiated his Soviet gambit:

Picking his way through the Soviet archives that Boris Yeltsin had just thrown open, in 1991 Tim Sebastian, a reporter for the London Times, came across an arresting memorandum. Composed in 1983 by Victor Chebrikov, the top man at the KGB, the memorandum was addressed to Yuri Andropov, the top man in the entire USSR. The subject: Sen. Edward Kennedy.

“On 9-10 May of this year,” the May 14 memorandum explained, “Sen. Edward Kennedy’s close friend and trusted confidant [John] Tunney was in Moscow.” (Tunney was Kennedy’s law school roommate and a former Democratic senator from California.) “The senator charged Tunney to convey the following message, through confidential contacts, to the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Y. Andropov.” – READ MORE atThe Federalist.

Until we change those policies, Ted Kennedy's immigration legacy will continue to deteriorate our American dreams of economic justice and environmental sustainability and individual liberty

Roy Beck, Founder of NumbersUSA:

For those of us desiring the traditional lower numerical immigration that, ironically, Pres. John Kennedy had advocated in his A Nation of Immigrants book, it was our great misfortune that the person leading our opponents in pursuing ever-higher numbers these last 45 years [now 51 years] was perhaps the most skillful Senator of the last half-century in getting things done his way.

Towards the end, you will begin to comprehend the magnitude and extreme selfishness of all the do-gooders, liberals, progressives, and statists who (1) think they know what is best for everyone else and (2) are so addicted to finding ways of making themselves feel good about themselves that they end up not caring how they do it.

Open borders means a constantly shifting menu of diseases and terrorist threats that never go away because the door is open.

Leprosy cases really took off after Ted Kennedy’s Immigration and Nationality Act did to public health what he had done to Mary Jo Kopechne. The top source countries for the disease are Mexico, Vietnam and Cuba.

So much for socialized medicine.

Open borders means a constantly shifting menu of diseases and terrorist threats that never go away because the door is open. It’s as open to an Ebola patient as it is to an ISIS Jihadist. AIDS is as welcome as the next Anwar Al-Awlaki. They are all part of the great multicultural future of the Democratic Party in which Islamic terrorists and Third World diseases battle it out for the opportunity to destroy America.

If an Ebola outbreak does happen, this disastrous administration and its leader may go down in history as President Ebola. But even if it doesn’t, there’s always President Swine Flu or President B68.

And there are always the classics. Three years after Obama took down the HIV travel ban, foreign-born Latinos AIDS cases in New York had risen to 31%. There’s a lot of talk about the importance of spreading awareness of the disease, but we could start by spreading awareness of the fact that allowing people with infectious diseases into the United States has deadly consequences.

TEDDY KENNEDY's LEGACY

Teddy Kennedy's 1965 immigration act so dramatically altered the kinds of immigrants America admits that, since 1969, about 85 percent of legal immigrants have come from the Third World. They bring Third World levels of poverty, fertility, illegitimacy and domestic violence with them. When they can't make it in America, they simply go on welfare and sometimes strike out at Americans.

In addition to the four dead and more than 100 badly wounded victims of the Boston Marathon bombing, let's consider a few of the many other people who would be alive, but for Kennedy's immigration law:

Where’s the outrage at misogynistic liberal men?

Because Maher and Olbermann and Taibbi are, ahem, “pro-woman” on policy, they can be as personally nasty as they want and it’s not a window onto anything. The quintessential example of this is of course Ted Kennedy, whose career stands for the proposition that you can allegedly assault women and even leave a woman to die and be reelected for eternity so long as you vote the right way.

VIDEO: THE MISOGYNIST LEFT MASH-UP

A sad moment for our country

It is hard to imagine how a president could give a more mean-spirited and less substantial speech on a grave national crisis than Obama delivered today. Obama appears to be a man who understands little or nothing about business or the economy. For him, partisan politics is everything. We saw that today. It was a sad moment for our country.

Obama Channels Ted Kennedy

Democrat heroes of the left have for decades been the worst subversives in our nation's history, actively working against individual rights, capitalism, and basic Constitutional principles

Whore not Hero: The Traitor Files - Teddy Kennedy

When was the last time a race for the U.S. Senate produced a result as shocking as the one tonight?

I've been following Senate races for 50 years (albeit not that closely during the 1970s and 1980s) and I can't think of one.

THE MASSACHUSETTS MIRACLE

The People's Seat

Scott Brown's powerful victory speech was punctuated by great good humor, a gracious and deserved tribute to Ted Kennedy, heartfelt thanks to friends and his family, fun with his daughters, and, crucially, a reminder of the phrase that probably sealed his election --"the people's seat."

If Democrats in the House and the Senate have ears to hear, that is the phrase they will remember from tonight as they consider the looming decisions on Obamacare.

This was not a stealth vote. The Democrat in this deep blue state did not lack for resources. The Senate Democrats provided the money. The president came on demand and cut the ads. The netroots were pulsing with unheeded appeals to voters.

The voters knew exactly what was on the line and they voted, decisively, against Obamacare. "It will raise taxes. It will hurt Medicare. It will destroy jobs. It will run us deeper into debt," Brown declared about Obamacare in his speech. "And we can do better!"

"No more closed door meetings. No more backroom deals. No more hiding costs. No more trillions in debt for our children to pay."

"We need to start fresh."

That's the message of the Massachusetts Miracle. Democrats ignore it at their political peril. If the president, the Speaker and the Majority Leader try a jam down, a political tsunami that is already forming will sweep ashore and destroy the Democratic Party for a generation.

"What happened here in Massachusetts can happen all over America," Brown said as he closed his remarks. That is what Senate and House Democrats need to hear. If they insist on ignoring the American people and dismissing their collective, great common sense, the people will retire them in great numbers.

Thank you Scott Brown, for having faith in the American voter.

After all the rule-bending shenanigans of the Massachusetts Democrats, leaving a dying Kennedy in office, and then ramrodding Kirk's appointment to the Senate to help ObamaCare, now they're desperate enough to ignore the people's vote?

Stunner: Scared Mass. Dems Plot to Delay GOP Victory In Teddy Seat Until ObamaCare Passes

Obama's permanent perfection: The speech to nowhere

Obama actually began by suggesting that there was not a health care crisis in America...Obama did not seem to be advancing a very detailed plan, but rather championing some vague generalities. And when you line these generalities up, they form a very peculiar and implausible picture...Obama concluded with a painfully inappropriate abuse of the memory of the late Sen. Ted Kennedy.

A Telling but Not Moving Speech

Obama's Health Care Pitch

President Obama's speech to Congress last night can be summed up rather easily. It was 40 minutes of boilerplate followed by a socko, emotional finish exploiting the death of Senator Teddy Kennedy. Which leads to this question: was Obama's finishing kick sufficient to achieve his goal of "reframing" the national debate on health care that hasn't been going his way? I don't think so.

Obama didn't come close to offering a persuasive explanation of how he'd pay for ObamaCare. And that remains his biggest problem. He promises much, much more in guaranteed health benefits and says it will cost less. Even Obama himself couldn't really believe that. No one else who can add and subtract does. Cut "waste, fraud, and abuse?" Not a chance.

There was one mild surprise. Instead of scaling back his plan to comply with public sentiment, Obama stuck to every promise and provision on which he's dwelled in more than two dozen speeches. There was nothing new, except the size of his audience.

From this, it's clear he's decided to push a partisan bill through Congress with Democratic votes alone. We could tell this from the pleased expression House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had on her face throughout the speech. She's belongs to the no-compromise school.

But unless Obama has suddenly transformed public opinion, Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid won't be able to find enough Democrats, even among the usually malleable Blue Dogs,

Defy the public to bail out a president in trouble? Only Democrats in safe seats are likely to do that.

I had five questions that I looked for Obama to answer in his address. I wanted to see if he was serious about achieving moderate, bipartisan health care. It turns out he's not. Here are the questions:

I find it ironic that Obama gave a eulogy for Ted Kennedy when Obama's friend, Bill Ayers, dedicated his book to Sirhan Sirhan, the murderer of Bobby Kennedy!

THREE DEGREES OF SIRHAN SIRHAN

Ted Kennedy's Soviet Gambit

Picking his way through the Soviet archives that Boris Yeltsin had just thrown open, in 1991 Tim Sebastian, a reporter for the London Times, came across an arresting memorandum. Composed in 1983 by Victor Chebrikov, the top man at the KGB, the memorandum was addressed to Yuri Andropov, the top man in the entire USSR. The subject: Sen. Edward Kennedy.

"On 9-10 May of this year," the May 14 memorandum explained, "Sen. Edward Kennedy's close friend and trusted confidant [John] Tunney was in Moscow." (Tunney was Kennedy's law school roommate and a former Democratic senator from California.) "The senator charged Tunney to convey the following message, through confidential contacts, to the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Y. Andropov."

Kennedy's message was simple. He proposed an unabashed quid pro quo. Kennedy would lend Andropov a hand in dealing with President Reagan. In return, the Soviet leader would lend the Democratic Party a hand in challenging Reagan in the 1984 presidential election. "The only real potential threats to Reagan are problems of war and peace and Soviet-American relations," the memorandum stated. "These issues, according to the senator, will without a doubt become the most important of the election campaign."

Kennedy made Andropov a couple of specific offers...

A friend discusses the passing of Senator Edward Kennedy

While the Left is busying trying to immediately use their friend's death to shove a terrible bill they won't read down the throats of regular citizens (one that they voted not to be subjected to themselves, of course) I wanted to give voice to my friend's concerns because he speaks for so very many of the real citizens in this country.

Today, there are many words of praise for the late Senator Edward Kennedy. He is referred to as the "Lion of the Senate," a gifted politician," and by many other laudatory appellations. Much of this is political puffery; and some of the praise is from those who were opposed to much of what Kennedy stood for.

Behind the facade of "public service" was a man of bulk, intemperate appetites, a drunken philandering, irresponsible and dishonest son of wealth, whose lack of courage allowed him to ignore a woman drowning in a car he drunkenly drove off a bridge, and instead seek a fall guy to report that they had done the deed, instead of Kennedy. His failure to induce anyone to take the rap used up time that experts contended could have been used to rescue the young woman passenger from the car, before her pocket of trapped air was used up. Indeed, he did not even report the situation until many hours later, when she was surely dead. Most people would have served prison time for homicide, if convicted; but, daddy's money enabled him to escape real punishment with a wrist slap, and a monetary award to the grieving parents of Mary Jo Kopechne.

This was no aberration in his lack of character. He hired a person to take exams in his place at Harvard. The discovery led to his expulsion. His record in the senate was one of always pushing to make wage earners in America pay for transfers of funds to others, ever expanding the role of the federal government in contravention of the fundamental law of the land, the Constitution. He repayed attempts to reach across the aisle by president Bush, by denouncing him in the most ungentlemanly terms, even after the president allowed Kennedy to write his No Child Left Behind bill. His vitriol was almost unmatched, even by a congress increasingly given to intemperate attacks on those whose consciences are of different values.

Kennedy had been a senator for almost half a century, and was a representative of the class of politicians who have no idea what the world outside of government consists of. In contradistinction to the vision of our founders, who proposed that people of all backgrounds would have a period of service, he created a lifelong career of elected office. He made senator as the inheritor of the Kennedy mystique, and parleyed his father's riches into political success. He was thus one of many high elected officials who have essentially "bought" their positions, at least initially, and used it as a career for the mediocre and manipulative to assert their power. Their one talent is to smile fake, lingering smiles, to promise what they could not deliver, and to lie with the greatest sincerity. Even their victims have resisted seeing through their phony pasted on smiles.

His passing is not a sad day for me. He is only one of many in congress who have attained their positions through family riches, not real ability and public service. Their only accomplishments in life were to take from the productive, and waste the fruits of their toil, building an ever larger and more intrusive government that today is bent on controlling every moment of our lives, including the most private and intimate.

There must be special ring in Hell for dishonest politicians. If so, it must be the most crowded ring.
