The Chicago Tribune reported Kennedy’s election to the U.S. Senate in 1952 by describing him as a “fighting conservative.” In a June 1953 Saturday Evening Post article, Kennedy said, “I’d be very happy to tell them I’m not a liberal at all,” adding, speaking of liberals, “I’m not comfortable with those people.”: John F. Kennedy Would Not Recognize Today`s Democratic Party

Interesting. Where do you get your quote? JFK went on record in 1960 to happily accept the Liberal Party of New York's nomination and gave a speech to them saying he was "proud" to be a liberal and believed in "progressive" big-government policies on education, health care, and welfare.

Either your quote from 1953 is inaccurate, JFK had "evolved" in seven years, or JFK was simply two faced and told different audiences what they wanted to hear.
