Reply #64: I thought the official line, after modern forensics,

was that Kennedy was a passenger, not the driver.

It doesn't bother me, and I can see why some people don't want to hear about it anymore, and that's all fine, but we Democrats always seem to let the repugs bully us in discussions like this. Senator Byrd and his participation in the KKK is another tale always being brought up by them--Dems don't seem to have the backbone to trade stories one-on-one, and while I attribute that to our superior propensity of turning the other cheek, it makes us look particularly wishy-washy in appearance.

We've been in these situations so many times, and no one has stepped up to the plate and tell the repugs off, in public, and settled the topics right then and there. If we can't do that, they will continue to spew their worst, and make us look like cowards ad infinitum.
