    Although this was most definitely his finest speech in all of his public years, it is worthy to note that about the last 40 or so minutes of the entire speech was without a teleprompter. A former professor of mine was an advisor to the senator 1989-1992. He said when the teleprompter did come back on after being broken it was so far back that there was no use to looking at it. Therefore, let us see here the beauty of his oration without any script before him. Sure he misquoted a few lines from Tennyson, but such poetic optimism is a rallying cry no matter what is your political view. Those are the speeches that should ask how much are you doing for this country

Thanks to youtube, we can see our changing views of lack of changes through the years. One of the few good contributions the Kennedy's did for society was expose secret societies, like all those at Yale & Harvard and the horrors of Free Masonry. I was not pro-life in those days and am quite saddened by allowing myself to support a political figure who believed that abortion was a form of healthcare.

      Bill S., Absolutely.Pendulum Panda, your point is very valid but I can’t see where Ted Kennedy would have done any worse than Michael Dukakis did in 1988. I still think that Ted Kennedy would have lost, and Chappaquiddick would have been the dominant campaign commercial from the Republicans. But I really think that the speech there in 1980 was when Ted Kennedy realized he needed to settle down in the Senate, he would remain very powerful, but he would never be elected president.

    In 1980, I distributed tens of thousands of leaflets for Kennedy in NYC. The NY primary was Ted's first win in 1980. We had to give Ted a big victory. After all, NY was Bobby's state.

    1976 was Ted Kennedy's year to run for President. By 1980, the political climate in this country had changed. It was Ronald Reagan's time. Had Senator Kennedy ran in 1976, Chappaquiddick would have been brought back to life by the opposition. That may have given President Ford a second term. With Chappaquiddick brought back into the public eye, the Kennedy legacy would have been on the line, and Ted's seat in the Senate may have been on the line, as well. There was that possibility. So, instead of another Kennedy, we had Kennedy impersonators, in the form of Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton. That's all they were. We got lucky with Clinton, he kinda knew what he was doing.

      Bill Clinton destroyed the Democratic Party. Once Wall Street and the big corporations stopped pretending to care about politics and eagerly and publicly supported whichever party was in power, the middle-class people in the Midwest who had been left behind by NAFTA and all of the other garbage legislation Clinton passed (legislation that made him and his fellow fatcats richer) didn't trust the Democrats anymore, and why should they? Much of Clinton's economic policies led directly to the Great Recession. Clinton was a master politician, but his 2 victories came at a massive cost for the country. It's been 20 years since Clinton has been in office, but his negative effect on the Democratic Party lives on.

Social justice, resulting in race quotas, affirmative action, forced busing, excusing self-destructive riots, etc. is not beneficial or “moral.” We all should know he was really Catholic in a vague cultural in-group sort of way, primarily.

And when it comes to speeches there is none better than my man Ronald Reagan-- the greatest president of all time after George Washington.

Had you or I been the DWI driver of that car that went over the bridge then ran away without calling the authorities about a girl trapped inside we'd be jailed for years and pay restitution. But not a Kennedy. Then those clown voters in Massachusetts kept voting him back in as senator til the day he died. I used to have disdain for Teddy Chappaquiddick. But my battles with him are over. It's now the people of Massachusetts I have that disdain for. They vote like Kennedy butt-lickers every time no matter what.

      Reagan didn't have to. There were plenty of lesser politicians and media types who would have been glad to do it. Reagan could have kept his distance and remained aloof and presidential. They would have done it every day of Ted's campaign; and--if had won--every day of his presidency. Except in Massachusetts, of course.
