Reagan used it to crush Jimmy when the demos didn't nominate Kenndy because murdering the girl kept him back." and--- "May God bless and save Ronald Reagan; had the honor of serving under him when he was our President; also attended his funeral services in 2004 in DC; quite awesome; 5000 visitors PER hour pour into the Capitol Rotunda to pay their respects to this great man; I waited 2 hours myself in line, but it was worth it! He will be sorely missed....RIP"
