Can the Kopechne family finally have closure?

Last night Senator Edward Kennedy lost his battle with brain cancer. But that battle just marks one of the aspects of his life. When you look back over things that he has done over his life right down to abandoning a car he flipped in the river causing Mary Jo Kopenche to 'accidentally drown'.

However there is belief that it was more than an accidental drowning....Blood on clothes that was turned over to the funeral director from the family discovered blood. And an exhumation of the body would have been needed. And that request was denied.

What really bothers me the most is Edward Kennedy's actions after the accident, he didn't try to seek help that could have saved her life. He didn't question her, he walked away and went about his life as if they were never together.

Are these the actions of an innocent man? Just as I look at many criminals and things like this really peak my interest and give me insight to humans in general, I can't help but think Sen. Edward Kennedy took a secret to his grave. And in my opinion it looks like there was a cover-up.

The Kopechne family didn't go after Sen. Kennedy, and they had every right to! They didn't want it to look like they were out for blood money, but a man swam away from a car that flipped into the water, and lived, while he neglected to get help for his passenger.

It makes me wonder if she was dead or dying before they hit the water! (That is purely my speculation)

The 'scandal' followed Sen Kennedy and prevented him from ever winning the nomination of presidency. I'm sorry but if this man had ever gotten a nomination for president the press would have eaten him alive. He was content to be a lifer in the Senate.

Everyone talks about what a great man Edward Kennedy was, however, this man had a LOT of skeletons in his closet. A past that he probably didn't want dug up again.

I can NOT understand his reckless regard for life life shows in how he voted on abortion issues.

When he voted he voted with his party 100% of the time.
While he was from a very high profile family, I have to say right now, I am about as far right and conservative as Ted Kennedy is Liberal. He lost my respect when he supported pure murder and voting not to ban partial birth abortions. No one has given me any sound medical reason that this procedure be performed. Its murder pure and simple but legal, and politician or doctor who supports this disgusts me.

As a man, I admire the battle he fought with cancer. However as a politician I will NOT miss him.

He met God last night, and God has forever decided the fate of Sen. Edward Kennedy, and all I can say based on what I have seen of this man..............

May God have mercy on his soul.
