Just out of curiosity, how do you keep a straight face defending JFK like a mother bear, while at the same time claiming not to be a liberal?

You are of course comparing JFK to Reagan by pointing out the accident that they both touted tax cuts. The similarities end there. Reagan's tax cut also called for smaller goverenment. Kennedy expanded social services.

Oh, and for future reference? The "I know you are, but what am I" defense, stopped being effective sometime around third grade. Go back and read the thread if you must. You are the one trying to come up with positive things to say about JFK. I think he is one of history's greatest posers.

For the record: I am NOT defending JFK! I am NOT comparing JFK to Ronald Reagan! There is NO comparison!! Ronald Reagan was a great man, and a great president. JFK was neither.

However, you are WRONG to say that JFK didn't accomplish anything! JFK had one great accomplishment in that his tax cut made it impossible for the Dimocrats to derail Ronald Reagan's tax cut without losing face!! That is the single biggest reason that Reagan's tax cut ever even happened at all.

It is obvious to me that your hatred of JFK has blinded you to the FACT that he actually helped our side. Now, let's see you deny that!
