8/9 (New to US history.) Was Pres. JFK a Democrat or a Republican? Thx.
\_ Democrat. Republicans bad.
\_ Democrats bad. Republicans bad.
\_ Jesse Ventura rewls, DUDE!
\_ No. It's just that our one party system sucks. Just bc
JV isn't a member of the one party, doesn't mean by default
that he's good, but yes I do like the very few things I've
heard from him so far.
\_ One party to rule them all and in the darkness bind them.
\_ BONDAGE PARTY! RULE!
\_ Yes, Dick is somehow connected to Richard Nixon...
\_ Democrat - ran against Dick Nixon. (All Kennedys have always been
Democrats - it's a family tradition.)
\_ Does that mean that Jimmy Hoffa was Republican? The two hated
ran for Govermnor and lost to Jery Brown's dad. After
each other.
\_ "hated" != "ran against in a partisan general election"
\_ I thought Nixon was a Congressman when he did
the McCarthy witchhunts. I'm glad you saw
Oliver Stone's _Nixon_ movie, though -- your
synopsis runs just like in the movie, complete
with quotes.
Later, Richard ran for President and won, but then
\_ Hoffa was a mobster criminal. His politics don't have
anything to do with it and good thing they buried his
wretched corpse (or all the bits of it) where it could
never be found.
\_ New Jersey Meadowlands. Under the end zone.
\_ The Trickster rules!
\_ Is Dick Nixon related to Richard Nixon then? Thx.
\_ Go see the movie "Dick" and find out. It's all completely
true of course.
\_ Dick Nixon was a Senator who ran the Communist witchhunts
with Joe McCarthy, was VP under Eisenhower and then ran
against JFK for Pres and lost. He then came back to CA,
ran for Governor and lost to Jerry Brown's dad. After
losing he declared "They're not going to have Dick Nixon
to kick around any more" and retired from politics.
Later, his son Richard ran for President and won, but then
Later, Richard ran for President and won, but then
\_ It was such a beautiful story, a man with so much
power giving it up to marry the woman he loved but
his country despised. It's hard to imagine in
these days where having your wife suffer a "fatal
accident" and then marrying a divorcee is no longer
an unforgivable sin, but is even being done by the
Prince of Whales.
\_ What's wrong with marrying a divorcee?
\_ Divorce is very anti-Catholic.
\_ This isn't a Catholic country.
\_ And we've never had a king who was
forced to abdicate so he could
marry an american divorcee either.
Your point? (Not that England is a
Catholic country.)
