Comparative list of suspicious demises... D vs. R.
Straighten me out here if I'm off on a tangent but really....
how many Repugs have have the similar ends as Demos, stat wise?

Kennedys Have Awful Bad Luck, don't they? John Jr was the icing on the cake.
Wellstone had really shitty luck just before an election, zzzzpppt, plane down. He was a Zell.
Carter had a bump or two for just lusting in his heart
Clinton enemies spent how many months and millions for his lil curvey ne'er do wells?

Democrats have to worry about small planes and personal sex things, but the Repubnicants ...

don't have to seem to worry at all.....

1. Yep. They have to not only commit felonies...
...but be tape-recorded/photographed/caught-red-handed doing so (see "Nixon, Richard M." for details). They have a better smear machine than we do.

14. Reagan was shot but not killed.
Squeaky Fromm tried to shoot Ford but couldn't figure out how to work the cocking mechanism on the m1911a1 Colt .45 auto she was using. Didn't have a round in the chamber, actually.

7. Uhhhh,
Licoln got shot in the head (killed).

Cassius Marcellus Clay (1810-1903). Shot point blank but survived.

William Henry Seward (1801-1872) Stabbed repeatedly but survived.

Alvin Morell Bentley (1918-1969) I believe only attackes with a knife.

John Bowden Connally, Jr. (1917-1993). Shot and wounded in the same gun fire as Kennedy.

Regan got shot in the ribs.

Gerald Rudolph Ford, Jr. (b. 1913). Shot in two separate incidences (I think).

Bill Livngston got shot (photgraphically) licking the boots of a dominatrix prostitute (Thank you, Larry Flint).

9. Sorry but the first three on that list were liberals
I'm not sure about some of the others.

Anyone who actually gets close to shifting power from the few to the masses is destroyed one way or another.

RFK, MLK, Malcolm X. They all became too dangerous. Its a routine job hazzard for leaders on the left.

11. You shifted the category to liberal.
The original post indicated democratic versus republican.

The repubs. would then try to claim JFK as their own (and they already have). They've also appropriated the language of MLK. So I took the poster's post seriously: D vs. R.

12. use common sense
The Republican party is conservative today even though it was liberal when founded, and the original post referred to modern times. If you're going to go back to different eras when the party labels meant something very different than today it makes more sense to talk about it in terms of liberal and conservative.
