Lennon: A Reagan Republican

[King]

Ronald Reagan probably would not have been President if Robert Kennedy were alive as there would have been no Nixon therefore no Carter and thus no opportunity for Reagan to win.

RFK would definitely not have supported Reagan. He was more left-wing towards the end of his life than he was earlier in his life.

Lennon was a stoned idiot, so it's possible.

Was he the one that voted Tory the first time he saw his tax bill? Actually there were a lot of those, so that's not really narrowing things down much.

True.  The most famous bands in Britain became tax exiles in the 1970's including Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, the Who, and former members of the Beatles.  I am all for a progressive income tax rate, but I can't really blame them that much because the mid to late 70's rates for the highest earners in the UK was pretty exorbitant.

Really, it's the fact that British law makes tax exile so easy that's the problem.

Do y'all know the backstory about the author?

That's what seriously makes me doubt the credibility of this.

[Eraserhead]

This sounds like complete bullsh**t to me.

I was the one that said it and I stand by it.

Stand by it all you want; that doesn't make you any less wrong.

RFK would've been one of those Social Conservatives who would've joined the GOP in the 1970's had he lived. Much like the Huckabees did.

Conservatism as Reagan viewed it was like a three legged stool. The social conservatives (which RFK was one today's include Mike Pence,Michelle Bachamann ) economic conservatives (like Pierre DuPont IV, Jack Kemp and of current climate Ron Paul) and Defense Conservatives (like John Hostettler, Walter Jones). Neocons came to prominence in the 1990's in the GOP corrupting the stool.

That makes no sense.  RFK, the crusader for the underprivileged, would have supported Reagan just because he was (allegedly) a "social conservative"?  And you're comparing him to Bachmann, Huckabee, and Pence?

I think you need to go over your logic again, because it doesn't hold up.

Yeah - it's a pretty polluted stream of consciousness going on there.

Bobby regardless of whatever social-conservative views he may have held, would never EVER have supported the  overturning of the Great Society programs... Kennedy was not a paranoid about Government.
