Reply #6: Anyone who wasn't alive during JFK can't vote for him. [View All]

[Rageneau]

Because they are voting for the legend, not the actual man -- sort of like wingnuts worship the legend of Ronnie Raygun, who wasn't anywhere NEAR as wonderful as they now remember.

JFK got very little done politically, even though he had large majorities in both houses, an adoring press, and a citizenry that absolutely idolized him.

Bill Clinton got quite a few difficult things done (balanced the budget, ended the Sebian crisis) with no majorities in Congress, a completely hostile press, organized GOP-hate radio, and a Democratic Party full of quislings and poltroons.

Hence, I say Clinton was the best of this bunch, because he got the most done with the least resources and left the country MUCH better than he found it.

And, unlike most people here, I clearly remember all these men.
