    in 1959 my grandfather had to pick up a politiian in bloomington illinois to take him to a political event in springfield . half way to springfield he said he was hungry , and asked if they could stop to get something to eat. grandpa said they stopped at a elkhart restaurant and went inside. grandpa said the odd thing was that nobody in the place even knew who he was. three years later, he was shot dead in dallas , and people were crying in the streets.

Review his speech before the Newspaper Guild in April 1961 denouncing secret societies, as well as his June 1963 address at American University opening detante & promoting diversity, plus his speech at Amherst University in Aug. '63 in which he defined the values he sought to realize for all: A world safe not only for democrcy & diversity, but for personal distinction. He was a visionary leader & true statesman.

    so I believe you are alluding to Bobby Kennedy's dissatisfation. But alot liberals lost trust in Jack Kennedy because they say he was a coward in not making that vote. Many Liberals didn't trust Jack Kennedy (known historical fact) Jack Kennedy didn't particular like liberals, thats the reason why he lost out on the VP position for the Dem party of 1956. Jack Kennedy was a great pragmatist, thats what made him sooo great and loved.

    @thebig1 Reagan upped weapons procurement by 95% with severe economic repercussions - for us. When he left office the U.S. natl debt was $3 trillion. If Ron’s anti-Red rhetoric & policies were so powerful, why did they fail to end communism in countries like China, Cuba, & North Korea? Answer: because, Gorbachev unilaterally ended the Cold War - stating the USSR would no longer interfere in the domestic policies of Eastern Europe, underscored by his withdrawing Soviet forces from Afghanistan.

    @thebig1 More facts: At the end of Ron's 2 terms the poverty rate remained @ almost 13%. Under JFK's boom it was almost halved. Ron’s tax cuts never came close to matching his supply-side rhetoric. In fact they busted the fed budget. The deficit soared from 2.7% of GDP in '80 to 6% of GDP in 83- history's largest peacetime deficit & was still 5% of GDP in 86. FYI: JFK was civil to Nixon, who came to loath his '60 victor. JFK ran center/right in '60 & elected, implemented progresive policies.

    Despite the Boston Irish backlash, JFK would have (reluctantly) voted to censure McCarthy because "Tailgunner Joe's" excesses had brought about his demise, even tho McCarthy had intially been a family friend. Those who killed JFK (including Hoover, the JCOS, & CIA) also murdered MLKJ & RFK owing to their support of civil rights & opposition to the war in Vietnam. Dr. King's eloquent anti-war address is one of the finest ever rendered regarding that obscene conflict, but it sealed his doom.

    @thebig1 Ron lied. His tax cuts did not "encourage work effort, savings, & investment." Unemployment rose, net investment declined & savings withered. His '80s real investment biz cycle annual increase was 2.5%. Clinton’s: 5.9%. As Ron boosted payroll taxes the bottom 40% of HH’s paid more of their income in taxes in ‘88 than they had in '80, while the top 1%, saw their tax rate drop 5%. Programs for the poor: cut 54%. Housing aid: - 80.7%; job training - 68.3%; aid for sr. housing: -47.1%

    @thebig1 FYI: Hussein's overthrow prompted rewriting the Iraqi constitution to permit 70% of its petro deposits to be owned & marketed by Big Oil. Cheney as CEO of Haliburton, negoitiated for purchase of DSN ASA, to make Halliburton the leading firm to route out Iraq's estimated $30 trillion in future oil & gas profits. The reason for Bush-Cheny's war on Afghanistan is that this nation holds the world's richest deposits of lithium, trillions of dollars in profits for U.S. new energy makers.

    True. Since JFKs death the U.S. workers real wage has fallen, family income has stagnated, the gap between rich & poor has widened, & productivity growth (the engine for economic progress) has fallen to less than 1/2 its historic ave. Under Reagan deficits soared to record heights, the natl debt doubled as a % of the economy, the 80s had the slowest growth of any post-WW II decade, most of the nation's income gains went to the top 1% of HHs & his policies caused massive damage internationally

    @ltkhokie1 FYI: When Ron left office, he had bloated the military budget to a staggering 43% increase over the total expenditure during the height of the Vietnam War, thus tripling the natl debt. In his 1rst 5 yrs weapons funding surpassed a trillion dollars. In real terms, DOD budget authority for weapons procurement increased 95% during the 1980-85 FY period. This insanity almost led to nuclear war in Nov. 1983. Who ended the Cold War? Not Reagan, but Soviet reformist Mikhail Gorbachev.
