I was stationed in Louisiana in Nov. of 63. The Kennedys were not well regarded in parts of the south because of the civil rights issues of the time. I remember the cheering and celebrating on the 22nd.

Well, I am not going to bust anybody's bubble about JFK, the "Mystique" is very powerful.
I have never voted for any Democrat for a simple reason, they don't care about my values. That's as mild as I can put it.
Good hunting. LB

Seems like to me the departure from the Kennedy democrats of John... not Teddy can be traced to the Johnson administration leading up to Clinton. They have changed dramatically since then. If you want to know what the Democrats used to look like you need to Read Zell Millers book 'A National Party No More'.

By Golly, I'd buy Zell Miller a beer, anytime, anywhere! What a speech, at the Republican National Convention!
Good hunting. LB

That was a good one, Leonard. I was upstairs watching it in the bedroom while my wife - Miss - Non-political - had command of the good TV downstairs. I was cheering, slapping and rooting so loud, she thought I'd found something different to watch. I don't think she has yet figured out why I was cheering at a Convention video. Not to hijack the thread with political stuff, but as good as it was, they still haven't figured out where they're going wrong, though. Have they?

I videotaped that speech if anyone has not seen it. I would be happy to make a copy and send it to anyone wanting one.

I didn't tape it, and wish I had. I'd love to have a copy.

Send me a $5 bill and an address I can send it to NASA. That should cover most of the cost of the tape and postage.
Just email that address and I will send you a return email with the address you can use to send the money.

Don't know, Zell Miller. But he's got my vote. I like a guy who grabs bull horns.
