No Republican today is as conservative as he was.
Kennedy was Bush 43’s tax cuts and foreign policy plus Clinton’s adultery and incompetence.
No Republican today is as conservative as he was.

If people would wake up to that fact, we’d be in better shape. Liberals are in deenial about how conservative JFK was compared to todays scum.
“No Republican today is as conservative as he was.”
JFK? Seriously guys, no. He was really only marginally better. Had he served 8 years you’d probably hate him like Lyndon Johnson.
IF you mean Wilson? That’s similarly wrong. If FDR is the father of American socialism, Woodrow was it’s racist grandpa.
Very true. Something I've been saying for around 3 years now.
Which is quite ironic, and an example of the slow-creep to the Left that is occuring today. What qualifies as 'acceptable to conservatives' today would have been to the left of the Democratic party four decades ago. Think about that! A person like President George W. Bush only gets his extreme liberal record (I'm sorry, but apart from the fact he was strong on defence and anti-terror, Dubya is the most Liberal president before a certain big-eared fella came along) eclipsed by Obama. It takes a nutcase like Bambi to overshadow a supposedly Conserva ...erm ..Republican president's record.
It makes me wonder what will be the case four decades from now? If the slow-creep from the 60s to the naughts has come to this, then what will the slow-creep (or maybe not so slow ...) from the naughts to the 40s bring? With public schools and universities, the constant media precipitation, excessive group-think ....it might be that someone like 'Juan' McCain will end up seeming like the second coming of Ayn Rand, while Ayn Rand's writings will have been banned by then.
If anyone thinks that is too extreme, just have a look again at JFK vs Dubya.
Perhaps worse of all, JFK was the person most responsible for today's out of control open borders policies that turned parts of America into third world-like slums. JFK wrote the outline for what became the 1965 Immigration "Reform" Act, and his plan to open the floodgates was carried on by his brother Ted who put the finshing touches on the bill:
John F. Kennedy initially proposed an overhaul of American immigration policy that later was to become the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, sponsored by Kennedy's brother Senator Edward Kennedy. It dramatically shifted the source of immigration from Northern and Western European countries towards immigration from Latin America and Asia and shifted the emphasis of selection of immigrants towards facilitating family reunification.[57] John F. Kennedy wanted to dismantle the selection of immigrants based on country of origin and saw this as an extension of his civil rights policies.[58]
You think that's "more conservative than any Republican alive today?" Funny. Most of us Republicans around today see it is left-wing lunacy.
Ronald Reagan agrees that the RAT party "changed", (I don't, I think the majority of them have been socialist anti-american scum for at least the last century) but JFK was too liberal for Reagan EVEN when Reagan was still in the RAT party. Reagan was a "Democrat for Nixon" back in '60. Funny that Reagan didn't seem to fond of JFK's "conservative" platform. I watched the Kennedy-Nixon debates and it was clear to me that Kennedy was the more liberal candidate in that race, considerably to the left of Nixon. (which makes him pretty liberal given that Nixon was hardly a great shining example of conservativism)
If Massachuttes Democrat JFK is your idea of a great conservative icon, I'd hate to see your idea of "liberal".
