JFK did lower taxes to jump start the economy, and he was the driving force behind the "space race" to beat the Sovs to the moon. Aside from those two things I agree with you.

The liberals have gotten to you! They look at Kennedy's lack of accomplishments and try to bestow the "space race" on him to make up for it. American scientists had been competing with the Soviets for a decade before NASA was established in 1958 (3 years before Kennedy took office). Pioneer I was launched later that year in response to the Soviet Sputnik I. On average the were more (ad more complicated) launches during the Johnson and Nixon Administrations than during Kennedy's. He did not get around to making his "We choose to go to the moon" speech until he had been in office for three months. "driving force behind the 'space race'?" Baloney.

No, the Liberals haven't gotten to me. It so happens that JFK made a speech to the Economics Club of New York to pitch his plan to jumpstart the economy by lowering taxes. That came from Rush Limbaugh not any damned Liberals! The thing about the "space race" was my recollection of High School History (courtesy of the Public School System),so that is questionable.

I will not sit idly by and be accused of letting Liberal get to me. Get bent!
