Wow, now you want to go after Reagan to fight for the democratic party to win the 1960 election and give us all that came from the JFK/LBJ years?
What in God’s name is going on here? How insane are you?
You really want to try and convince us that Reagan and Nixon were the liberals and the JFK/LBJ were the conservatives?
This is what you think was to the left of JFK when Reagan was expressing fear at JFK’s liberalism?
“””I heard a frightening call to arms. Unfortunately he is a powerful speaker with an appeal to the emotions. He leaves little doubt that his idea of the “challenging new world” is one in which the Federal Govt. will grow bigger & do more and of course spend more. I know there must be some short sighted people in the Republican Party who will advise that the Republicans should try to “out liberal” him. In my opinion this would be fatal.”””
Or this from the same letter about JFK?
“””I am convinced that America is economically conservative and for that reason I think some one should force the Democrats to publish the “retail price” for this great new wave of “public service” they promise.”””
OR this? You think this is Reagan being to the LEFT of JFK?
“””One last thought,— shouldn’t some one tag Mr. Kennedy’s bold new imaginative program with it’s proper age? Under the tousled boyish hair cut it is still old Karl Marx—first launched a century ago.”””
Are you just totally whacked out in joy over what the election of JFK did to this nation?
“You really want to try and convince us that Reagan and Nixon were the liberals and the JFK/LBJ were the conservatives?”
LBJ was as liberal as the day is long. He hated Kennedy.
LBJ was the crookiest SOB to serve as president in the last
50 years.
Nixon was a MODERATE just like Gerald Ford. He was socially conservative and fiscally moderate/liberal.
The only thing I have said about Reagan is he has given credit to JFK for cutting taxes, which Kennedy did.
I give credit where credit is due and I tell the truth about US politicians. But there are some people that can’t handle the truth.
