Liberals don't really have a singular patron saint the way the Right has Ronald Reagan, but JFK comes very close. I've never understood it, particularly since JFK is always the president conservatives bring up when trying to get liberals to agree that tax cuts are always good all the time always and that going to the brink of nuclear war is a good idea too. I just think that like Reagan, Kennedy is an incredibly overrated man who pales, substantively, in comparison to his predecessor and his successor.
My father is a dyed-in-the-wool liberal and absolutely hates the Kennedys. He was obviously too young to vote for or against JFK but he strongly supported Jimmy Carter in the 1980 primaries and has often said that if he had been old enough to vote in 1960 he would have voted for Nixon and that the country would be better off had Nixon won that year.
