Being a Democrat in 1962 is a far far cry from being a Democrat in 2011. Most Democrats in the 60’s, President Kennedy included, would be considered, if not out and out right wing extremists then very close to it, by today’s Democratic/Communist standards and their sycophants in the press.

Yea, I vividly remember that one of President Reagan (you know, the RINO, per Rick Perry supporters) used to really get under the skin of the 1980s Democrats by always quoting JFK. It was a blast to watch.
In reality Reagan was not a democrat until he re registered in 1962, Reagan formally started endorsing Republicans in 1952, including campaigning for Nixon, against the too liberal JFK in 1960.
1948 was the last time that Reagan voted for a Democrat President.
