Even in the early 1960s JFK was considered too hawkish for a lot of Democrats. And a lot of them were afraid of him being ostensibly a Catholic. He certainly wasn't nearly as liberal as RFK, and RFK was well to the right of Teddy. So many people look at JFK and assume that his politics were the same as his younger brother. Hard to say given that he died well before I was born as well, but maybe not so much.

True. I understood his appeal. From a mid-road democrat who loved getting involved in foreign politics, he just, well, never got it. Nor his wife.
ReplyDeleteFunny, if they were around now with the same politics, the Dem party would have nothing to do with either of them.

ReplyDeleteI'd like to know why they've blamed everybody and everything...except the Communists.
