Horrible thought occurred to me
The tide seems to be turning for JFK. I was thinking about what dirty trick 43' and his thugs could try to pull off, when it struck me (mental illness), what if an asassination attempt is made on JFK, but is thwarted by the CIA - FBI... and Kerry's life is ultimately saved. I can see the Bush thugs coming out with the National Security issue and taking praises and all of the credit for being the hero!

What do you all think? Do you think that the idea is too far out?

I certainly hope so, but with the group in the WH right now, I wouldn't put anything past them.

1. Any stunt like that automatically makes the Bushistas look bad.

5. Ooooooohhhhmm... I asked a similar question some time back
I was assured that Kerry has zillions of SS around him. I'm sure they are on their J O B in that regard.

I wouldn't think so much of Bush doing it but of some whacko rw nut doing it.

Oooommmmmmm *breath in..exhale* :D

3. I Think It'd Be More Likely For The Right To Finally Get Their Own Martyr
and I'm not going to elaborate on that.

4. Mark Twain wrote: "I am an old man and have known many troubles. . .
most of which never happened."

Lot of wisdom there. Could spare you an ulcer.

8. Here's another variation of that...
Worrying is like paying interest on a debt you may never owe.

9. still jumpy after all these years.....
That big row of slain heroes back in the '60's has made me permanently skittish for those who agree with me out loud and on a big stage.

10. No Way!!!!!!
How could you come up with the same far out crazy idea????? You mean that there are two of us??????

Scarey thing....I could see Rove thinking this up and planning it out and implementing it. Plan an assassination attempt on Kerry - (no one would see that one coming and would attribute it to a RW nut case or terrorist. Then Bush's new Homeland Security, CIA, yada yada yada
would come to the rescue and save Kerry and Bush would be the hero!

SCAREY!
