He was a politically Conservative WWII combat veteran. I am not saying he was the greatest President but his policies were definitely not liberal/leftist.
conservative by what standard?
Where would JFK have been if he had lived? Just look at his brother. They were cut from the same Joseph Kennedy cloth - amoral and political opportunists.
JFK was still on his Leftist training wheels as was his brother Bobby. Bobby lived long enough to start showing what they were really made of. But Ted Kennedy, probably the single most despicable politician in our modern times, showed the world who they really were. JFK was an amoral, double-minded Leftist, not yet fully formed.
Shirley you must be joking.
