Rick Santorum - Serving the rest of JFK`s Presidency

It has been effectively argued by many that if John F. Kennedy were alive today he would be utterly disgusted by the rancid stench of liberalism which has infected the Democrat Party. He would either have switched sides or done his best to keep the liberal disease at bay.

Like Santorum, Kennedy was a Roman Catholic. It´s widely believed that he was pro-life, even if that question wasn´t so much at stake in American politics, like nowadays. He nominated a pro-life judge, Byron White, for the U.S. Supreme Court. That means, being a pro-life Democrat, that it would be almost impossible for him to win the Democrat Party nomination today, since all their Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates have been pro-choice, since 1976. His sister Eunice Kennedy Shriver is still active in the pro-life movement, and his brother-in-law, Sargent Shriver, was the most recent pro-life supporter to have been in a Democrat Party Presidential ticket, in 1972.

Kennedy called his domestic program the "New Frontier". It ambitiously promised federal funding for education, medical care for the elderly, economic aid to rural regions, and government intervention to halt the recession. Kennedy also promised an end to racial discrimination. In his 1963 State of the Union address, he proposed substantial tax reform and a reduction in income tax rates from the current range of 20–90% to a range of 14–65%; he proposed a reduction in the corporate tax rates from 52 to 47%. Kennedy added that the top rate should be set at 70 percent if certain deductions were not eliminated for high income earners. Congress did not act until 1964, after his death, when the top rate was raised to 70%. To the Economic Club of New York, he spoke in 1963 of "... the paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high and revenues too low; and the soundest way to raise revenue in the long term is to lower rates now." Congress passed few of Kennedy's major programs during his lifetime, but did vote them through in 1964–65 under his successor Johnson.

So let us add it all up. Kennedy was pro-life and pro-tax cuts. He favored American exceptional-ism policies overseas and even into space saying:

"No nation which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind in this race for space."..."We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard."

Santorum is so similar on these issues that his candidacy is a stark reminder and indictment against the Democrat Party and the virus which has infiltrated it.

Finally when we take a good look at Kennedy we see a man who understood the evils of Communism. We see a man dedicated to keeping it as far away from American interests as possible. Can the same be said for the Democrats today. No. Communism has become the Democrat strategy with universal rationed healthcare and government intrusion in all areas of life. The current battle is not so much between Republicans and Democrats but between free people and dictators. Between those who wish to preserve life and prosperity and those who wish to kill off millions and rob the population of it`s right to self determination.

And we believe that Jack would agree with Rick Santorum who reportedly stated that Satan is gunning for America. In fact it could very well be argued that Kennedy himself could have given that exact same speech... as his resignation declaration from the failed Democrat Party.
