I heard that JFK held a majority of the beliefs in 50's and 60's that the conservative (Republican) party has today. For example: pro-life, smaller government, community volunteering versus big government helping people out, fiscal conservatism, and stopping the spread of communism and facism (he had the commies in Cuba - today we have radical Islamic Fundamentalists). They concluded that if JFK were alive today he would be considered a conservative based on his idealogy in the 50's-60's.
Interesting notion - what do you think??

If you did your research, then probably. I looked around a month ago, and found out he was a Liberal back when he was alive. But as for today, I really dunno b/c I'm not sure what's the difference with today vs. 50 years ago.

He was as staunch a democrat as were his brother's and entire family. Moderate democrats and republicans share many values!

I doubt that he would be. His brother, Ted, is the Liberal Lion of the Senate. They were always considered very liberal, JFK to Bobby to Ted.
