I am not positive but I don't believe the philandering,drunk, murdered was in congress at the time.  \n\nI believe he was in college and busy cheating on exams (which is true by the way).  \n\nIs their a single aspect of this scum bags life that can  be admired.  \n\nOnly the ignorant liberals of MA can be stupid enough to re-elect this loser 20 times.  What do you expect when your last great contribution to society was more than 200 yrs ago.

The biggest issue of the sixties was putting a man on the moon.  Then Kennedy was shot and that was all but overshadowed by the same bunch who brought us Iraq taking us into Vietnam.  Then there was Martin Luther King and the civil rights  movement.  The time was about freedom, the rights of men and women, and what this country should be about.  Some of these issues made it through, while the movement itself was systematically crushed,  partly by the shooting deaths of both Kennedy brothers, Martin Luther King, the students at Kent State, the police riot in Chicago against the war demonstrators.  "We  will have no more of this" was the message that came through loud and clear.

I do. I was 11 years old when he ran in '72, that was the first election I remember. Against George McGovern and Sargent Shriver.\n\nHe also ran in 1968, when he defeated Hubert Humphrey...I believe Bobby Kennedy would have won if he had lived.\n\nBut his first election was against John F. Kennedy in 1960. This was one of the closest election in US history, with the popular vote going to Kennedy by .02% percent or 118,500 votes our of some 68,350,000 votes cast. The electoral vote wasn't that close, with Kennedy winning by 302 ~ 219. \n\nBut in reality, the Kennedy family probably stole that election....

Even if Bush is just trying to get minorities to support him, he has still posted a number of minorities to very powerful positions in the government.  The highest ranking African American in Bill Clintons administration was his secretary, Mary Curry.\n\nLiberals need to learn that you have to be prepared to do what you are telling everyone else they should do.\n\nKind of off topic; why is Ted Kennedy (who is supposedly an enlightened liberal) blocking the installation of a wind-power generation farm to the east of Martha's Vineyard?

He's running for Senator and would have been the 1st black Senator elected from a former Confederate State since Reconstruction (1877) Why was it necessary to have any woman, white or black propositioning him? What does this have to do with politics? This was thought to be a very dirty ad by  most commentators.

He said it at at the second session of the 88th Congress.\n\nhttp://www.needlenose.com/node/view/2476\nOn the night he signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Johnson said to his aide, Bill Moyers, "I think we just delivered the South to the Republican Party for a long time to come."

I think he cared too much. He was one of the "good guys" and as they say "good guys finish last" He brought about such wonderful God ordained ideas, it is such a sad thing to see the civil rights movement in portion go astray from these ideals.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 35th President.\n\nJFK may have won the White House with the narrowest margin (until 2000) but he did much to win back support during 2 3/4 years in office. \n\nHis inaugural address is probably the best in Presidential history. It gave a sense of direction for the nation and opened up the challenges for the 60s. Kennedy was the first President born in the 20th century to occupy the White House and his young age drew a chord with the baby boomers.\n\nHe made a blunder with the Bay of Pigs, but one must must understand that the ColdWar was at it's height. The Chiefs of the Armed Forces were mainly hawks at the time, (given their experiences with WWII and the Korean Conflict) but Kennedy maintained control over them. This was best seen in the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962.\n\nAgainst the advice of his top commanders, Kennedy held back and refused to allow an invasion, had he done so, the invasion force would have been wiped out by a Soviet force in Cuba which had tactical nuclear missiles and whose orrders were to use them in the event of an invasion. The General in charge said so in an interview in 1992. the reason was simple, in those days communications was not so easy, he wouldn't have time to call and get an answer from  Moscow, he would follow the last directive to use the weapons. Had that occured, the US would then be at war with the USSR and Cuba in a nuclear conflict.\n\nWe wouldn't be here today if that occured. So that was Kennedy's finest moment, preventing nuclear conflict and forcing the Soviets to back down with his naval blockade.\n\nHis assassination shocked the country and its' wounds are still felt today. It was like a loss of innocence for many. However, it did much to unite the people with the Presidency. LBJ was able to use that unifying force to get many Bills through and swept the 1964 elections in the biggest landslide in US election history.\n\nThe "Goldwater conservatives" who we see in abundance today took a heavy beating. \n\nIn life, Kennedy gave much character and hope to the American people (the same with Reagan, who gave us a sense of pride more than in achievement), at a time when Americans needed that uplift in spirit for the future. In death, he brought the people closer to the Presidency and gave much more drive to achieve the goals he set out, like putting a man on the moon, bridging blacks into mainstream America and putting America's future in the young.\n\nI will end with 2 quotes from his inaugural address which I personally like;\n\n'Let every other nation know, whether they wish us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend or oppose any foe, to assure the survival and success of liberty'\n\n'Finally whether you are citizens of America and of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifise that we shall ask of you, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth, God's work must truly be our own'.

Malcolm X's real stance was that black people did not belong in America. That this was the "white man's" country and they needed to emigrate back to Africa. He DID end up doing SOME work with Dr. King so the answer would be yes AND no. Malcolm DID work with civil rights and intergrationist leaders.....but his heart wasnt really in it. NO disprespect to Malcolm at all. Although I didnt agree with all the things he said. I respect how the man turned HIMSELF around and found his true voice in the world.

Kennedy had the highest ever recorded, but remember that approval ratings only go back to about the turn of the century.\n\nI don't know what Kennedy's highest approval rating was off the top of my head, but it seems to me it was somewhere in the high eighties.  You can find out more at www.gallop.com.\n\nI know you said you know who had the lowest, but just in case you're interested, it was Richard Nixon at 19%.

Ted Kennedy is nothing but Politics.  I do not understand how Massachusetts keeps voting for him when he is nothing but a blowhard.  He should be in prison not running in the senate.

Lyndon Johnson has been credited with being one of the most important figures in the civil rights movement. Johnson does have some distracters who believe that he was merely an unprincipled politician who used the civil rights issue when he realised the worth of the "Black Vote". However Johnson himself claimed to be an idealist who dreamed of making America a "Great Society". It was Johnson who put the presidential signature to the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

Would a kennedy ever lie? \n\nOK lets forget about Joe Sr. the bootlegging, traitor during world war II.\n\nAnd lets forget about john and his numerous philandering affairs and the bay of pigs incident\n\nand lets forget about bobby who had a hard-on for the unions which made him care less about the constitution than a $2 hooker cares about a condom.\n\nand lets forget about ted the poster boy for drunken, philandering, murderers.\n\nI think you're entitled to believe every word that comes out of their mouths for the right price.

John F. Kennedy. Had he finished his term he probably would have been re elected to another term. I also feel that Vietnam would not have escalated to the proportions that it did. I also feel that there would have been more advances in terms of Civil Rights. Kennedy also seemed more in touch with the American people than any other President.
