I will have to be honest and say I wrote that particular segment of that post with an eye to tweaking the noses of Democrats more than to be ideologically factual...:)
If I were striving for more honest dialogue rather than to inflame people I detest, I would say that the Democrats of 1960 and before were far to the right of many we see in power today, except that in general, they were STILL Statist, Socialist, Communist sympathizers. Problem is, THEY wouldn’t have a problem with that!
LBJ was most interesting, a social lib, but pro-national defense.
One one requirement of all Dem politicians of that period, and their media sycophants, was that they expected all women to crave sex with them.
LBJ routinely did women in the oval office, (Missionary, not Monicas. Monicas were still “dirty” to older men back then.) Lady Bird knew about it, but it was "expected" back then.
Kennedy had a 17 year old who would be flown around to service him (Monicas, because of his back problems) in the presidential limo whenever he was out of town without Jackie. (Of course, Jackie was doing Onassis, William Holden and others while married to Jack.)
For Roosevelt, his secretary was the love of his life, and Eleanor has a "steady girlfriend." Eleanor even insisted the secretary sit next to her at the funeral, because in her words, "You brought him so much happiness, and Franklin would have wanted you right here." Dan Rather's specialty was Hertz girls at the local airports, especially down South during the civil rights days.
