Where are the Kennedys??
Ever since Jaqueline and John John dies they just seem going into this Greta Garbo like state. Why dont they go out and campaign for Kerry or at least do speeches or something to say why u should vote for him? Where is the "Dem Dynasty"??

1. Sen. Kennedy is a big supporter of Kerry
he often stumped for him throughout the primaries and continues to be a supporter today.

3. BushCo killed John-John so that Chimpie wouldn't run against this photo.


(yeah, I know it's a bit off-topic, but still, I can't help believe that my comment rings true. There's no chance in hell that Chimpie could have beat the man or the photo.)

11. I wouldn't put anything past the Bush Dynasty

Arlen Specter and Gerald Ford are 'credited' with establishing the "single bullet theory" in the JFK assassination.

George Herbert Walker Bush was Dirctor of the CIA under Ford (as most people know, I'm sure).

Anyway, one Dynasty replaced another, as far as I'm concerned. I never thought G.W. could be president 'cause he's so ... unqualified.

My late father strongly resembles a man in a 1964 photo with Arlen Specter, taking the measurements that attempted to 'prove' the "single bullet theory."

I've been working hard to get this and other information out recently, as I have been in danger.

Harry E. Landsberg, Jr. -- resemblance to man in photo with Specter

"CIA Act of 1949" -- plus information about mind control

4. IMHO...
I think we're seeing a resurgence of the Kennedy dynasty.

Ted is still majorly powerful and RFK Jr is a fast riser. I believe theres also quite a few kennedy congressmen.

13. Not THAT funny
It was sorta funny, but not THAT funny what u said. I agree it was just BIZARRO having the Pres. and THEN is brother CAMPAINING for Pres. both shot in thier PRIME. If the Red Sox can lift a curse, so can the Kennedys. Look all those kids!! Surely they could run for Pres. or high offices. Theyd win in a landslide.

7. He is taking on the bush admin vs. the envirnoment
He wrote "Crimes Against Nature" which details this admin's assault on environmental policies.

I think he is a lawyer for the Nat. Resources Defense Council, but that could be the wrong org.

14. Same place as every other political dynasty
They die out, mostly. As Kitty Kelley says, "the blood thins as it travels down the line." How often do you hear of the Rockefellers these days? Except for Jay of W.V., the others are invisible. Not many Tafts anymore, or Roosevelts. Once Poppy and Bar are gone, I think the Bushes have pretty much had it. Poppy never felt he lived up to his father's legacy, and Junior never felt he lived up to Poppy's.

Re: the Kennedys, Bobby's daughter ran for governor of Maryland, but lost. Joe and Bobby Jr. are effective, but their private lives have left them vulnerable politically, as did Teddy's. The Kennedys' best hope was with JFK Jr., but he flamed out too soon.
