3. When I was young, some people said JFK had an affair

with Marilyn Monroe. That may have been true. But, over the years it's escalated to "orgies in the White House," which never happened, btw. And conjectures that he had mistresses every where, also b.s. if we look at the facts.

The truth is, he was very ill and under a doctors care to control his disease and severe chronic back pain. He also worked very hard, shockingly, almost every day! He did a lot of wonderful things for us and our country, and he and his family were a joy to almost everyone. Since then they have been under verbal and physical attack by the right wing continuously. Another truth is that the Kennedy's were one of the best things to happen to this country in my lifetime.

If you read these articles you will learn that he was not able to participate in orgies or chase skirts like the Republicans have tried to weave into our history. What he and Bobby did do was set up and make possible the Civil Rights Act, and the Republicans hate us Dems for it, especially the Kennedys.
