    If a legislator is "safe" from competition, or if he represents groups with the same economic and political beliefs, he does not have to change his ideas or respond to the needs of the broader population. He can rest content with a mediocre, absentee performance knowing he will be returned to office. And as he is returned year after year the seniority system gives him immense control over people from other parts of the country whose views he need not heed at all. -Senator Edward M. Kennedy Decisions for a Decade, published in 1968

    "What good fortune for governments that the people do not think."

    - Adolf Hitler

    "The great masses of the people ... will more easily fall victims to a great lie than to a small one."

    "Dad, I'm in some trouble. There's been an accident and you're going to hear all sorts of things about me from now on. Terrible things." -Ted Kennedy

    "We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction." Ted Kennedy

    "Do we operate under a system of equal justice under law?

    Or is there one system for the average citizen and another for the high and mighty?" -- Ted Kennedy, 1973

    "When the Founders wrote the Constitution and gave the Senate the power of advice and consent on Presidential nominations, they never intended the Senate to work against the President, as this Senate is doing, by engaging in a wholesale stall and refusing to act on large numbers of the President’s nominees." -- Senator Ted Kennedy

    "We have to respect that any nominee to the Supreme Court would have to defer any comments on any matters, which are either before the court or very likely to be before the court." -- Senator Ted Kennedy

    I just love teddy, he is in fact a caricature of himself, and the most amazing thing about him or perhaps the citizens of MA, is that he has been in office since 1962, probably longer than the age of most people on yahoo answers.
