"I think we can end the divisions within the United States. What I think is quite clear is that we can work together in the last analysis. And that what has been going on with the United States over the period of that last three years, the divisions, the violence, the disenchantment with our society, the divisions ... whether it's between blacks and whites, between the poor and the more affluent, or between age groups, or in the war in Vietnam ... that we can work together. We are a great country, an unselfish country and a compassionate country. And I intend to make that my basis for running." RFK, 1968 
He was anti-communist; he was for law and order; he was for tax cuts; he was the last one with the courage to really go after the mob and union corruption; he was pro-life; he believed business and free enterprise held many of the solutions to persistent poverty; he was real and honest and wore his emotions on his sleeve; he cared and had the courage to fight for what he cared about.
