Did I say anything about his record? No. Dude, learn to read.

Although it is extremely unlikely that the fear of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the 2nd amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationship, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of his country. For that reason I believe the 2nd Amendment will always be important."

"A tax cut means higher family income and higher business profits and a balanced federal budget.... As the national income grows, the federal government will ultimately end up with more revenues. Prosperity is the real way to balance our budget. By lowering tax rates, by increasing jobs and income, we can expand tax revenues and finally bring our budget into balance."

“Every dollar released from taxation, that is spent or invested, will create a new job and a new salary.”
Indeed

The liberal media and the left wing loons try to make the (R's) out to be far right in recent years. In reality anyone (including the left wing freaks) could look at the (D) platform in the Bill Clinton years and see just how far to the left the (D's) have gone.
So not only could JFK not get elected today, but even Bubba Clinton couldn't get elected either. That is because the Pelosi/Reid faction has co-opted the party, and most of the moderates have retired or not been reelected.
Conversely, look at the (R) platform from the mid 1990's compared to today, and it is more or less the same.

So there is little doubt among everyone except the true koolaid drinkers that it is the (D's) who have made the most radical shift, not the (R's).

Heck, correct me if I am wrong, but in the (D) debate, the top two candidates were trying to promote varying forms of socialism as the future for America's economy. When Hillary said capitalism needed to be saved from itself, I practically spewed my drink. Such a comment just 8 years or so ago would have ended the political career of any candidate, R or D.

We cannot afford a "conservative" government either. Think what happened the last time conservatives owned all 3 branches. Wasn't pretty.

Could you be specific? Why wasn't it "pretty?"

What have the "Progressives" given us, but regulation, debt, and less Liberty.

JFK was not your Democrat of today. He was far more "conservative" than today's Democrats, who are socialists through and through.

I knew John Kennedy, I saw him on TV

Bernie Sanders, you are no John Kennedy.

Well I can't read when people try to talk out of both sides of their mouth at the same times, so I suppose you are right.

Whoda thunk that when you connect his words with his actions his words suddenly lose their contextual meaning?

That is so bloody idiotic.

Every Kennedy in America is a Democrat, and yet these geniuses think JFK would've been a Republican today. SMH

These people have obviously never studied his actual policy positions.
