My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.
John F. Kennedy January 20, 1961>>
Kennedy was supposed to be a Democrat, the party that helps the poor and helpless.
It took a while for him to get to that point, and he really sorta got dragged into it because of the civil rights problems in the South. It even took Robert Kennedy a while in order to pretty much be dragged into that as well. Both were opportunistic, to say the least, but Robert really did get "religion" on this issue and the issue of racism not that long before he was shot.
