What's this?

JFK's daughter is not JFK, just like HRC is not WJC

Just being the offspring of a respected President does not mean you are his political clone. Just like those who profess that HRC;s time in the White House as irst Lady somehow equate her experience to Bill's as President are spitting into the wind. As for Ted Kennedy, he had some legislative moments during his career, but he rode the Kennedy name into office (and out of Chappaquidick infamy) and came across as a buffoon too often for my taste.

Do you think JFK would be proud of today's Democrat party? -- CA Cav 04/28/2016 2:15PM

That is one weird take. You are literally the 1st person I've ever heard -- VAGentleman05 04/29/2016 06:28AM

Sometimes tax cuts at high earners are really stimulative. They were in the -- KaHOOnah 04/29/2016 11:34AM

I think most of those cuts were needed, but it's also when deficits boomed. ** -- Late 80s Hokie 04/29/2016 12:28PM

Yeah, and that was fine. The benefits of that deficit far exceeded the cost ** -- KaHOOnah 04/29/2016 1:00PM

But in the long run, did it establish the idea that deficits are OK -- Late 80s Hokie 04/29/2016 2:17PM

JFK would be very comfortable with current Democratic Party. -- DanTheFan 04/28/2016 2:55PM

Making a dumb comment and then running away is weak ** -- KCHoo 04/28/2016 8:03PM
