Look, I am not saying that the right side of the political spectrum was happy with him, they were not. However, the left side of the spectrum was really torqued off with JFK. I don't think he could have been denied renomination, but the convention was going to be a messy public fight. JFK was trying to hold together the forces of the center left, and hold off the forces of the far left and the Center Right of the Dem party. The whole thing was such a mess that the Democrat party was eager to join the Camelot believers and blame the killing on the GOP and the political right. The left was scrambling to cover up their dirty linen from public view.

After reading Mr. Lord's article I came away convinced he and probably the staff of American Spectator simply do not understand the situation regarding the dislike of President Bush.

To begin with, I sincerely believe that a major part of the dislike of President Kennedy was because of prejudice regarding his religion.

In regards to President Bush, he brought the vast amount of dislike on by himself through various ways which include:

p>1. Total disregard of what the minority party said or felt. br> 2. Absolute partisanship. br> 3. Gross incompetence. br> 4. Distortion of the truth. /p> p>Mr. Lord can conveniently attempt to put the blame in thousands of other ways. However, it is very clear that President Bush brought the dislike on solely by himself and he deserves every bit of the dislike he receives. br> --
