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!
It is obvious that your highschool crush on John Kennedy has turned you into a liar. But, if you insist on continuing to run around in public with your pants around your ankles, I'm willing to humor you...
1) You did, in fact compare compare JFK to Reagan when you pointed out that their detractors use similiar tactics. The problem is that in Kennedy's case, the criticism is warranted.

Again, read the thread. This whole debate has become a Chinese Finger Prison for you. The harder you try to extricate yourself, the tighter the squeeze. I conceded the tax cut from the beginning, but sought to downplay its significance. In order validate yourself on a small point, you are turning the tax cut into the Lousiana Purchase. And then, when you make outrageous claims like "it was the single biggest reason Reagan's tax cut even happened," you sound like you have gone off the deep end. I suspect that you are not even particularly familiar with the particulars of either one. Do just a little research, and you will discover (1) that the two were inspired for very different reasons, (2) that the scope of the two was entirely different, and (3) that the perspective of the congresses to which they were proposed had absolutely no similarities. Your assertation is nonsense.
Given all of that, my assertation was not that "JFK didn't accomplish anything," but that I wouldn't rank him in the top 20 US Presidents. Assuming that his tax cut was as great an accomplishment as you seem to think, how would that refute my argument? We are talking about men who built nations, freed the slaves, destroyed facism, and stared down nuclear communism. What else did JFK do?
Note: Think about the corner you have painted yourself into before you rush to respond.
