Telling...very telling.

I was dusting my furniture on Nov 22, 1963 and just 7 days away from the birth of our second child. I was in the corner of the living room and had the TV on. Stood there lifeless hearing the word as the Breaking News appeared on our screen. Shock, sadness, anger and other emotions all rolled up into one.

The world stopped! The funeral, the family, Jackie and the children just made you cry. It was a very tragic time for our country. I saved papers and magazines and anything that had their photos or stories about the Kennedys. I loved President Kennedy, his wife and children and his whole family and to see this happen to him was unbearable.

Unfortunately over the years the shine on the Kennedys in my eyes and heart began to dim and dim and dim until there was nothing left.

Very sad when you think of the potential that was there and what good they could have done. Granted President Kennedy and Robert Kennedy had their lives shortened by fanatics who I hope are burning in hell as we speak. However, the rest of the family could have done great things for this country and stood tall doing all they could to keep that shine on the Kennedy name.

I was disappointed, sad and disgusted with the behaviors of the remaining Kennedys whose antics and arrogant mentality constantly made the headlines in the most negative ways.

They were a family that COULD have been but instead became a family that NEVER would. A sad ending brought on by them and them alone and that's the biggest tragedy of all!

In retrospect, it seems that John and Robert were rather conservative, not the liberals they were portrayed as and as LBJ actually was. However, the rest of the family seems to have bought into the standard liberal, socialist, Democrat mantra of extreme leftwing policies. That was their demise and is now the death knell for the entire Democrat Party.

It seems that you still cannot get over his death. If the family is started, run, and controlled by a lecherous man, a womanizaer with no respect for any oath, a bootlegger dealing with the Mafia to get his fortune, what do you think the children and grandchildren will be like? The Kennedys are and have always been a blight upon this country. The only thing I give JFK, Jr., credit for is that I honestly believe he never planned to run for any political office. I think he realized his vast limitations and decided to live off his riches vice the American taxpayer.

Jack was the dim-bulb sock puppet of his father and Bobby was a vicious little turd who would do or say anything to achieve his ends.

I wouldn't waste my urine even to pi$$ on them and their progeny and I say that as an ex-Cape Codder who lived across Lewis Bay from the compound for thirty years.

They are all scum who are heartily disliked by those who know them best, their neighbors.
