It will never work for Bobby Jr. to speak to the national public without getting a voice filter that outputs his own voice with the palsy filtered out. For most people his palsy is too distracting, they listen to the weirdness of the shaking rather than what he's saying. It takes to much concentration to get what he's really at. Along with establishment attacks on him as a kook, even if he could get into the Democrat debates, it's political poison.
Bobby's vocal palsy isn't caused by Parkinson's, it's caused by a rare disorder that, I think, is nearly directly centered on the nerves that work on the vocal folds. It's called spasmodic dysphonia. Direct botox injections into the vocal folds is the only partial treatment; it can't be kept up. Otherwise it's incurable. Katharine Hepburn and Michael J. Fox have had advanced Parkinson's, but you could see other bodily signs of palsy such as involuntary, rhythmic head shaking, the inability to hold still. End stage Parkinson's involves dementia and hallucinations. Bobby doesn't have Parkinson's, doesn't have true palsy and isn't demented.
John D. Rockefeller III
The Rockefellers held secret conferences at Notre Dame University in South Bend Indiana in the early 1960s to try to blunt Catholic political power by discouraging childbearing, to get Catholics to take contraception which was forbidden to them. Fr. Theodore Hesburgh and John D. Rockefeller III tried to get Pope Paul VI to let them write the document that would turn out to be Humanae Vitae, which forbade disruption of the childbearing potential of every act of the marital embrace. (Donald Critchlow, "Intended Consequences: Birth Control, Abortion, and the Federal Government in Modern America." Oxford University Press. 1999.) It was only after this interference, fear of American domination which had been in the original Vatican II schema, and directly attributable to it, that the Catholic hierarchy turned to the Soviet Bloc, and so the Ostpolitick began. Teddy Roosevelt had warned WASPs that they were committing "race suicide" with their use of contraception in a 1905 speech. Population control, with contraception and abortion, are the original form of the biotechnocracy that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is dedicated to fighting, yet he was a dedicated supporter of all the Democrat, abortion-permissive Presidents and presidential candidates prior to Trump in 2016. Sorry, no cigar.
There’s probably stuff he can use just lying around at Stephen Hawking’s place.
He could just campaign from his basement and hire some people to rig the election. I’ve heard that has worked in the past.
I assume he wants to run as a Dem? Heck, they have a President (whom they will probably reelect) who can’t get out a coherent sentence and a Senator who is a walking vegetable (ever heard him talk?).
I agree. People are people and elections are popularity contests. Bobby’s voice is a huge liability.
Bobby Unser? Bobby Brown?
The Dems can choose between someone with a bad voice or someone whose brain is jello.
I’d vote for Bobby. His platform that is taking shape is vital to the survival of the country. He’s basically saying that the corporate-government axis of evil needs to be stopped.
I’d vote for him only if Trump chose him as running mate, and Trump having a Kennedy for a veep would be like Biden having Hillary for a veep. Probably not survivable.
He is an old line Dem like his dad and uncle. Foreign agreement, but to the left on economics
Kenendy has a brain at least, Biden...
It’s kind of a lame Katherine Hepburn imitatation.
Just pretend you’re listening to Katharine Hepburn.
Woah, GMTA!
I would be quite willing to vote for a candidate who did nearly all their political communication in writing.
It would change the entire nature of political thought. Lies and fallacies are so much more difficult in writing.
After watching Pedo Joe and his demented verbal diarrhea, a candidate being forced to communicate in writing could only be an improvement
Dementia is an attribute in democrat circles.
