Today is November 14, 2003. JFK was shot and killed on November 22, 1963.
Big John is still using the Julian calendar, like any sensible person. To hell with this Gregorian heresy. -- Dr. Tony Cox Citrus Controls Inc. e-mail: http://CitrusControls.com/ |

What does infidelity have to do with his legacy? Do you disdain Franklin
Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Dwight Eisenhower as well? In fact, if you run down the founding fathers John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin and Alexander Hamilton have all been accused of being adulterers. Who cares? I, for one, believe that any President should be held to the highest moral standards, for one simple reason: If the guy lies to his *wife*, what chance do you think WE have with him? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Sorry, I don't see any correlation between fidelity, infidelity, and public
service. People's private lives are just that, private. We've had plenty of examples of both good and bad presidents (and leaders in general) who were adulterers. Unfortunately the press no longer sees it that way. As an aside, I may be cynical, but I believe every President lies to the public, both through omission and commission. They'd never get elected or be able to govern if they were completely honest. "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:2%8tb.1931$Dw6.16125@attbi_s02...

I just think that it speaks to the man's personal sense of honor. His
pledge to his wife in marriage was broken over and over - such a man has no sense of honor - and...... what else with a man with no sense of personal honor lie about? IMHO. -- -- Good Flights!

I've never understood the reverence for JFK, his infidelity made Clinton look like a abstinent monk. The actions in a similar vein half made me dislike the clan more and more. Heck, a Kennedy can drown or even murder a woman and still get off. They are reprehensible, certainly not worthy of reverence. -- -- Good Flights! Cecil E.

I've harbored a simmering resentment of the Kennedy clan ever since, and now vote against them and their Democrat friends whenever I get the chance.

Well if repeated infidelity is not a problem with you,,, what about
abandoning a girlfriend to drown (one Kennedy) and murdering another woman (still another, younger Kennedy). They just aren't an honorable bunch... By the way,,, think about that famous JFK quote... "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country" Sounds like something today's extreme right wingers would say.... -- -- Good Flights! Cecil E.
