You can't say he hasn't fought for MA during his reign.
I sense this thread needing to be moved to the Political Section at some point.

He was very good at getting federal funding for the CCNS, herring runs and other public recreation areas. He also worked at keeping public access to the water in coastal areas. |
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

You're right on about that. I was never a fan of the man himself, but he did some good things politically for the residents of our state. My father used to run into him down the Cape while walking his dog and says Kennedy would always stop and say hi and pet the dog. Not that you judge someone on a few brief chats, but my dad said he was a likeable guy. |

My parents said the same about him running into him in Hyannis or on the Vineyard. Never afraid to say hi and pet the dog. He could have been just another rich douche and ignored people, but he didn't.
He was always in Hyannis and Nantucket for the Figawi, always pleasant walking the docks and one year gave us his guest mooring for the night when we were about to set anchor behind the outer harbor mooring field.
He was a nice guy, sailed, loved the ocean. You can't fault him for that. |
