Are you saying that all our problems can be attributed to Lee Harvey Oswald?
Oswald was exactly what he said he was, a patsy. It is unlikely that he even fired a shot on that fateful November day.
Actually, I've never gotten over the suspicion that LBJ was somehow connected. The first thing we all thought when we heard about the assassination was, who benefits?
In a sense, yes. Goldwater likely would have won. Kennedy was ineffective and on the ropes. But with a dead martyr President in JFK, there was no way. It was blasphemy to vote against our young, dead, martyred President - which is what a vote for Goldwater was portrayed as by the Liberals.
It worked.
