In fact why do so many republican politicians have a reptilian look about them?

Also--
1- JFK was NOT by any stretch of the imagination, a hawk.
He did NOT want to stay in Vietnam, much less increase our minimal presence there.
2- He did NOT want to invade OR attack Cuba.
3-He and Krushchev both knew the other had insane, war loving military and spy agencies to deal with. Kennedy wanted detent with Soviet Union and Krushchev was on the same page.
4- He totally distorts the speech that Kennedy was to give in Dallas. And he either is ignorant of or lies about JFK's opinions on economic policy.
5- He also looks totally uncomfortable saying what he is saying either because he knows what he is saying is silly or because he is just lying.
