So then how can you said Joe Kennedy did not corrupt an election, when you know nothing about history. Man, I repeat you could get away with this in Public School because the teachers didn't know anything either, but it ain't gonna wash here. Go back to school, a real one this time You're funny. I didn't know you did standup.

Ted is not old enough to have any personal memory of JF Kennedy, or LBJ. History books have strayed from accurate portrayals into propaganda. Unless one is curious enough to read about specific people they will get a very cleansed version. Even I did not know who his first opponent was. I have the intellectual curiosity to look it up. Election, 1946: John F. Kennedy was elected to the United States House of Representatives from the 11th Congressional District of Massachusetts, the same district represented earlier by his grandfather, John F. "Honey Fitz" Fitzgerald. The district was composed of Cambridge, wards 1, 2, 3, and 22 of Boston, and wards 1, 2, and 3 of Somerville. John Kennedy's address at the time of the election was 122 Bowdoin Street, Boston. The results of the Democratic Party primary held on June 18, 1946 were as follows: CANDIDATE VOTES John F. Kennedy (Boston) 22,183 Michael Neville (Cambridge) 11,341 John F.
