Your blanket condemnation of JFK is right for the most part. However, the fact remains that he did have two accomplishments in his administration. It doesn't matter, if you accept this premise, or not. You are entitled to your own opinion.

You would rather give credibility to the lies of the Democrat Party than just admit that you are wrong. Pity. You can save yourself some time by reading post #52 where we covered this. In a nutshell: American scientists had been competing with the Soviets for a decade before NASA was established in 1958. Lunar exploration was always a major goal. This was 3 years before Kennedy took office, and under a republican president. Pioneer I was launched later that year in response to the Soviet Sputnik I. On average the were more (and more complicated) launches during the Johnson and Nixon Administrations than during Kennedy's. His biggest contribution to the space race was his quotability ("We choose to go to the moon"). The moon landing took place years after John began his dirt nap and with a Republican in the White House. Every time you bring up the space race as a Kennedy "accomplishment" you are helping to spread the lies of the Democrat Party. If it makes you feel better, continue to do so as long as you like. I will respond with the truth. This is not a matter of "opinion." The facts are readily available. The Democrat Party correctly expects average Americans not to think or investigate on their own (you sure didn't - and you care enough about politics to participate in a conservative web forum).

The tax-cut on the other hand, did happen, but there are not many who would call it a great accomplishment. It was a tiny fraction of Reagan's. It didn't accomplish much. And to use it as an example speaks volumes about the real lack of accomplishments in a failed presidency.

Again, there is no "premise" to accept or not accept. I am dealing with facts. And every time you come to the defense of JFK because you are not willing to admit you are wrong, you state liberal points of view as your own. This is no "opinion." It's fact.
