I don't know if I would go along with that assertion and JFK, in comparison to what the dems have today would be much closer to the GOP than the rat party... he belived in lower taxes and I don't believe Clinton, Kerry or Gore would have the guts to stand up the the Soviets like he did... the thing he had in common with the dem party was an inability to make good personal judgements.
My problems) with the Kennedy's was the mafia's being good enough for them to use to get to the oval office, but their then trying to absolve themselves of all that by playing the white hat and to the mafia's black hat once they got to the WH.
There was also the way those inbreeds tried to snob Onassis as some sort of eurotrash hoodlum that 'wasn't worthy' of Kennedy's friendship, etc.
Not to mention the way they made nice with the Third Reich.
I simply cannot stand that family. Much less respect them.
Yeah. He was a real hero.
Give me a break.
