JFK would not, I repeat not, recognize the party he was the leader of. All Presidents have speech writers, all of them. He was an entirely different breed of Democrat and to compare his policies and beliefs to his brother, or to the party leaders now is just plain wrong. I don't like RATS either, but they were not all like they are now.

Why in the hell any person claiming to be a conservyive and who had lived throught the Kennedy period as an adult would excuse Kennedy or his administration is beyond me. The Kennedy period was the ascendency of a left wing madhouse buttered up with Ted Sorensen's speach writing. Kennedy was the first Bill Clinton. Or perhaps it should be said Clinton was the second Jack Kennedy with a little more freedom to act nuts because the social barriers to doing so have been eroded.
