The JFK and Nixon race for President ? Anyone remember it? How slim was the margin of votes between them?

Question

Was JFK liked? Was he the youngest president? Was he a Catholic Democrat? Did he pass Civil Rights through Congress? Did he promote bussing for Blacks in white schools? Did he declare Martial Law in Alabama? Wasn't he at the time of his Presidency the most vetoed President in Congress? Did he not put troops into a highly controversial police action in Vietnam? And didn't he confront Russia and Cuba in the Bay of Pigs? And wasn't he considered the most hated? And wasn't he assassinated?

Answer 1

There's a lot in there! I don't remember it but I was told by my father that it was widely publicized at the time the JFK stole the election from Nixon. His father went to the Mafia and asked them to help out. It was publicized that many of the votes in Chicago, for example, ended up in the lake. Nixon's advisers tried to talk him into a recount but he refused because he thought it would be bad for the country. So, JFK became President.

Yes, he was liked for the most part. He was the youngest President, I believe, and was a Catholic Democrat. Yes, he started Vietnam and, yes, he confronted Russia, though Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis. He was behind the Bay of Pigs invasion, which, from what I know of it, gathered Cubans from the States who had been exiled after Castro took over, armed them very lightly, and helped them invade the island. He had promised air cover and other support and abandoned them to be tortured, imprisoned and killed. I believe he apologized on national television.

Yes, he was assassinated, I believe, by the Mafia. The Mafia never does anything without expecting something in return. They figured that if they helped a President win the office, they would finally have a President beholden to them. Once in office, his Attorney General and brother, Bobby, started a televised investigation of the Mafia, which angered them. I believe they wanted to prove just how powerful they were and that they will murder anyone who refuses to pay back what they owe them, including the President of the United States.

Those things I didn't mention from your answer, I don't know about.

Answer 2

The race between JFK and Nixon was the closest in history up until that time. Many historians believe had it not been for the voter fraud in Chicago Nixon would have won.
The Bay of Pigs was when the refugees from Cuba tried to over throw Castro with the CIA's help and JFK was supposed to send troops to help but he didn't and it resulted in the Missile crisis with the USSR in Oct of 1962. Russia had put missiles into Cuba and they were pointed at Washington D.C. Kennedy put up a blockade around Cuba and the Russians backed down and pulled the missiles out.
JFK started the peace core and most of his programs were completed after his death by LBJ and the Republicans in congress.
He followed DDE in sending troops into Vietnam during his time in office and LBJ and Nixon sent more troops in.

Well, if you put John Fitzgerald Kennedy into the Yahoo search, you can get his entire profile and his family.

Yeah, I remember the race and in my estimation it was fairly close. I don't remember the exact margin though. He was the youngest and he was a Catholic Dem, he signed into law the Civil Rights bill and promoted busing for blacks. Yeah, he took troops to Viet Nam, but that's as far as he went with it. The Illuminati came into the situation, he declined to do as they asked and he was killed. Yes he confronted Russia and saved the butts of Americans, because Communist USSR had their itchy trigger fingers on the button to nuke us. No, he was not the most hated. I think GWB has that title now from everyone who is against the war, that is. Look his life up on the net...it's here.

Kennedy's margin nationwide was about the same as Budh's margin in OH in 2004. His popularity skyrocketed when he was assassinated. He was the youngest elected president. TR was the youngest to serve. That's as many questions as I intend to answer at 1 time.
