Kennedy offered a across the board 25% reduction in everyone's tax rates as soon as he got into office as well as trying to balance the budget through a reduction in spending. Along with strong unapologetic foriegn policy.This does not sound like someone in our current democratic party. It sounds more like JFK would be right leaning today.
 
1. Kennedy would have been Swift-boated today over the PT-109 thing. His dad so engineered that story that Kennedy himself said he couldn't even talk about it because it was so twisted up;

2. Winning a party nomination is not about ideology. It is about having buckets of money and the party affiliation. Bush, Obama and Romney all bought their nominations, it was just a matter of where the money came from and how/why they got it.
 
Kennedy would **** on what the modern day democrat party has become.
 
Kennedy was to the right of Romney, McCain, and Palin. He was socially left on some issues for his time, but to the right on taxes, the military, all things fiscal, the space program, and on foreign affairs.
