A relative has nothing good to say about Ted Kennedy. According to her Ted Kennedy ruined her social security by limiting her access to a pension that she had earned and was counting on. Apparently it was a bill he sponsored and she has genuinely suffered financial harm as a result.
She's your typical knee-jerk 'America is the best' kind of citizen. For her its the liberal Ted Kennedy who has ruined her future. Emphasis on liberal.
After thinking about what she said over a period of months and seeing her again and hearing her now familiar, Ted Kennedy tirade I said to her: "I don't think it is likely that Ted Kennedy did this all by himself."
That stopped her for a second. I asked her if any other member of congress had agreed to this plan to rob her. Apparently they had. Some of them had been conservatives unlike like the liberal Ted Kennedy.
I asked her how it was that if all these people had gotten together to find a way to steal her pension it was Ted Kennedy she wanted to blame. It's a fairly complex question for someone who believes America is the best and yet feels that she has been robbed by it. So she didn't have the most reasonable answer.
As far as I can see this woman's enemy is not Ted Kennedy, but rather congress as a whole who agreed together to rob her blind.
She does love big brother though and would not criticize it. Maybe she just likes to bitch.
