Look at the Dem platform when Hubert Humphrey was running.

I have. But I do not think you have. Never were so many new big govt. programs sponsored and implemented by dems as back in the 60s and they are all listed in the platform of the Dems in 1968.
As for HH---he was a left winger but you might be referring to the fact that he rejected the so-called peace platform. On everything else he was quite the liberal- the Wellstone of his time.
As for Kennedy and the tax cuts...to the dismay of dems, Republicans have used Kennedy's own words to promote tax cuts. He was certainly right on that. Supply side economics works.
So the Dems originally passed medicare and 40 years later the Pub controlled Congress and Pres pass Medicare D. Seems that the GOP has just become a copycat.
