  • Liberals/conservatives? In the early 60's, a social conservative would most likely have been a southern Democrat and social liberal might've been Republican or northern Democrat. When JFK cut taxes in early '63, the Democratic party did not berate him and Republicans didn't celebrate; it was something that could be acceptably done in a robust economy. The ideological dogma we enjoy in politics today came about after Watergate.

  • @rlf1967 Unfortuntely those days are over.

  • why cant the poeple we elect get along respectfully as these two did

  • Fascinating! Great find, great post, thank you!

  • @univibe23 oh wow I've just learned a new word from a youtube comment (wherewithal) -- dear God! its the coming of the apocalypse =P

  • The Mafia stood by and let Castro take over Cuba. They should have taken him out ASAP! And believe me they had the wherewithal to do it.They lost billions when he ran them out of their Casinos in Havana.

  • SICKO

  • Wow

  • @RichardElden None of which would have happened if Kennedy hadn't been killed. You are so fucking stupid.

  • @RichardElden Me too. His martyrdom expedited the passage of a lot of liberal legislation.

  • Stop the nonsense, daydreaming conservas. Nixon would have made a mess because conservatives aren't men enough to back down when they're wrong. And make no mistake, air support or no air support, they would have been mowed down by Castro. The whole country was up in arms.
