I grew up in a dem family that idolized the Kennedys...and it started with the handsome John F Kennedy...
being a democrat in family was more of a branding issue. When I asked my parents why we were democrats, they stated because democrats are kind and they believe in helping people.
for my mother I am certain it was due to his good looks.
I have since learned just how much of a creep the father was... and how the press covered up for all the mis-deeds of this family..
all because of the handsome Jack... sounds like someone we know.
JFK was not handsome. He had nice hair and a pleasant smile, but he was not handsome.
Teddy was actually very good looking as a young man.
