(11,464 posts)and McNamara was hired by the guy before LBJ.
and Eisenhower started the war.
Again, you ignore the facts.
LBJ would have beaten Nixon in the election.
HHH was an inferior candidate,who had all the baggage of LBJ but none of the achievements.
it matters little to bloviate against LBJ.
the fact is, Nixon won and LBJ was not in the race.
LBJ in the race would have won, down and dirty.
But don't let facts get in your way.
John Anderson ran in 2000. 7 plus %.
tell me again, Reagan was better than Jimmy Carter???? HUH????
Fact is, protests votes have led to Nixon, Ford, 41, 43 and if people do so again in 2016,
back to the Bush's again.
So tell me about it.
BTW, why not blame Congress? They have authorized the war on terror three or four times now. Yet people keep electing republicans to the house.
