The Political Gamesmanship Of The Elected Official Who Has Been The Most Destructive Force Upon Black Consciousness In The Past 50 Year


Ted Kennedy's Trickery In Filling Vacant Senate Seats - Exposed By Robert George


This news of Ted Kennedy's antics comes as no surprise to me at all. Recall a few weeks ago I called for Ted Kennedy to yield his seat to a new generation of leaders of his state. He has been in the place since 1962. This was 2 years prior to the great Fannie Lou Hamer being denied her seat at the 1964 Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City New Jersey.

Now we found out that Kennedy supported a law drawn up in 2004 to thwart the then Republican governor from appointing a Republican to fill the seat of the assumed president-elect John Kerry . Now Kennedy seeks to reverse the law, avoiding the 5 month wait. Recall as well that the Democrats argued to remove the Electoral College in 2000 after their guy won the popular vote. In 2004 they tried to flip Ohio in their favor in order to win the presidency via the Electoral College.

Despite these points of evidence - "Dirty Politics" and "Electoral Hi jinx" are seen as a "REPUBLICAN's Domain".

Recall earlier this year the claim was made that the court battle over the contested senate seat had denied the people of Minnesota their right to representation in the Senate as important legislation was on the table. It is ironic that few people saw the arbitrary 5 month waiting period imposed in Massachusetts for nothing more than politically partisan reasons in the same way.
