And, let me add this, which I've stated many times on FR, JFK would be a Republican if he were alive today.
"Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country" is right out of OUR playbook.
So Rudy deciding in the early 90's in liberal NYC to sound like JFK is hardly the insult you'd like it to appear.
I think you are dead wrong about JFK being a republican. But it appears that a lot of "conservatives" would be ready to VOTE for JFK if he was alive today.
The drugs, women, sleeze, mob connections would apparently not be a big problem?
