I hope Mr. Shay's life insurance is paid up. Libs in that part of the country don't take kindly to even the perceived mention of "the C word." In 1994, the rumor got around that Mitt Romney had uttered "the C word" (he hadn't) and his campaign received several death threats which the FBI told him to take seriously.
I talked to a kool-aid drinker once about the Kennedys. He of course said there were some serious Republican operatives that didn't ever want any Kennedy to be president, so that is why we had two assinations. He said that it would be too suspicious to kill Teddy, so they, (the assassins) framed him for Chappaquidick. He truly believed that someone else drove the car, that Kennedy didn't know the girl was in the car, etc., that it was all a frame up so Teddy would never be president. He also said that John John's plane was shot down by these same people.
What do you think a US Congressman making public Liberal threats to his life for telling the truth, would do to those dim hopes for power?
Today is unlike any other time in politics. The dims, through years of attack politics, have changed the electorate... and they are finding out that they don't like it very much.
