43. Yes, it is true
JFK made a lot of enemies, not just the mob.

For example, the Bay of Pigs. There was an active CIA cell operating a 'hit squad' against Castro. If you want talent to perform the mechanics of Daley Plaza, there it is. Its also to note the place name of the hit, Daley Plaza.

JFK damn near put us in a nuclear exchange over the missile showdown. I am sure many in the top echelons of the pentagon just loved JFK for that.

Then there is the deal worked out between the FBI and the longshoreman's union in WWII. No union activity to interfere with war effort. This deal of 'letting' the mob do their thing was broken when JFK and Robert tried to change the rules.

As for the principle of free elections, as I said before the elections should be on the up and up. But it is not just a republican thing to cheat at elections. Vote fraud is as American as Apple Pie.

I think it would be for more productive to examine the system that leads to the lies and cheating. What is there about America that rewards the liers, stealers and murderers with success. Could it be the idea that the ends justify the means?
