  • 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.

  • yes nixon was the reall backer of the cuban bay of pigs thats what he was after at watergate

  • they're covering their political flank as well as asking for advice. It still happens. Clinton got Bush Sr. on a trade deal.

  • nonsense. kennedy started this whole problem by coming across weak and drugged when he had his first meeting with Khruschev. Khruscheve would have never tried such a thing with Nixon and Nixon would have never risked the world by allowing it to reach the grandstanding phase. consider how he handled the USSR threatening China in 69.

  • 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!

  • 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.
