During his electoral battle tour in the south of the States, John F. Kennedy visited Dallas (Texas) on November 22, 1963. On his arrival at 1140 hours, he was warmly welcomed by the people of Dallas. Kennedy, Governor John Connally and their wives sat down in the limousine of the President which led the motorcade through the town.

No. Not really.
As I see it, the pubbies won’t stand up to the financial interests and globalists and free traders.
And the Dems won’t stand up against the mobs and dependents and race baiters.
The democratic party has a certain amount of good history, or at least intentions. I believe desegregation was a good thing.
They actually started with an idea of giving a hand up instead of giving a hand out. That whole idea has morphed into a philosophy where whatever you do, for whatever reason, it’s a “life style” choice so it’s acceptable.
If anyone, I would lean towards Paul because I think he’s the only one who might say “Look folks, what we’ve been doing is obviously not working...”
I know there is great disfavor with Paul here, but out of all the other candidates, all I see is more of the same old same old...
I think Cain is also strong, because I don’t see him as being just another gear in the beltway politics machine. He would shake things up good!! What a ride that would be!
Oh please say you forgot to post a /sarc tag. Please.
You're kidding, right? WTF are you talking about?
Gotta agree with your asessment completely.
I am leaning towards Cain only because he isn’t a beltway boy and he has experience running organizations plus he is a technical fellow. I like that. He has an engineering background so logic doesn’t escape him.
I distinctly remember hearing it at a friend’s house, sitting in their 3-season porch and play room with the wicker furniture. And later that day I have a vauge recollection of mom and dad huddled around the TV. But mainly being in that porch and listening to the mom talking on the phone in the kitchen about it. I was aware something big had happened, and that this person called the president had been killed and that she was very upset.
I was 3 years and 2 months old! The only thing else I remember about that house (they used to babysit me) was that sometimes at lunch she would give me half a Twinkie!
I think my next memory of anthing is from when I was 12!
Were that theory correct, there would have been no need for the Warren Comission coverup, and the sealing of all the evidence. The answer would have been so simple that spending seven million bucks on the charade would have been unnessary.

I also lived in Dallas at that time in 1963.
It really had an impact on you at such a young age as well as most of the nation. thanks for sharing
There was a big window facing south down Lemmon. My main memory of the afternoon is the sight of Air Force One going outbound over the building on takeoff, climbing at an unusually steep angle and making a hell of a noise. If it had afterburners they would have been full on. As if they could not shake off the dust of Dallas fast enough.
That is quite a story. And the extremists who did not even seemed moved by the assasination but went right on playing chess ... that was so cold. He was our president, regardless of our party affliation. Thanks for sharing.
Nothing like getting your event announcement out early :D
He was a threat to the money machine that still goes on today.
OK, since you decided to go there, you’ve got to be a flippin’ loony if you believe any of the things you said in your post that I was responding to originally. A complete unadulterated loon.
Thank you NEWwoman. That would be an interesting collection of memories.

I remember it like it was yesterday. I was in 10th grade, and in bookkeeping class. The door to the room was open, and a student walked by the room and said that Kennedy had been shot. Somebody pulled out a transistor radio, and we sat listening to it until the class was over.
Seven years before I was born.
“Anybody old enough to remember that day - November 22, 1963?”
Of course. I was in 7th grade, in shop class to be specific, when we learned what had happened. Our teacher was a notorious wise guy so we didn’t know whether to believe him or not.
I was living in Arlington, VA, maybe two or three miles from the Kennedy gravesite. I suppose I should have ridden the old ten speed over to see what I could have of the funeral procession, but I didn’t. None of my friends was interested in going and I didn’t want to brave the crowd on my own.
One of my classmates was an Air Force brat and her dad had been one of Kennedy’s drivers.
