Jack and Bobby Kennedy were interested in a concept which is out of fashion in some circles - "toughness". Thus John Kennedy portrayed himself as being tougher on defence than Nixon. Bobby Kennedy was part of that administration; I have little doubt that he would have shared at least some of that viewpoint.

Ted obviously drank away whatever fortitude existed in the Kennedy clan and helped turn Massachusetts from the home of Paul Revere into that of the blithering, mindless liberal.

I don't disagree. As a very young and naive child of 16 I embarked upon the Kennedy 80 campaign. I soon realized that Teddy had accumulated none of the attributes that made me admire his brother Robert.

People can flame me. But I still think Robert Kennedy would have been a great man, given a chance. I am now 6 months older then he was when he was killed and wow. What a world. I still have so much to learn and experience. So did he, but he was cut down. Sad really.

Teddy has been handed everything and it shows. He has no concept of real life.

The Kennedy myth continues. JFK was a mediocre President and his little brother Bobby was a liberal wacko.

Exactly.

Too bad my home state is home to so many brain-addled sheeples. It's really a great place were it not for the ultraliberal politics.
