Sorry, the way I interpreted it was that Kennedy was the last D that didn’t lie (more than is normal for a pol).

Truman, I don’t know about. He was a Dem and FDRs vice, so that’s points against. But off the top of my head, I can think of no specifics.

I threw FDR in there on my own. I could have gone back to Wilson. My point was that they have to lie to get elected, and then get their Hell-spawned programs thru.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

No problem. You were definitely right to call me out on Kennedy. At the very least he was a Clinton in his personal life. Sorry to say I don’t know history well enough to say one way or another about his policies. Clearly he bungled the bay of pigs but didn’t he also push through a significant tax decrease?

He did. Which is OK. But as you say, he had great difficulties keeping it in his pants.

He screwed the Bay of Pigs. he secrewed the Cuban Missle Crises.

Still, I don’t think that he particularly wantedt to destroy the USA. Or maybe he just didn’t have the chance.
