(1,376 posts)'68 ... Nixon was elected saying he had a secret plan to end the war and it took longer, under his watch, to the US withdrawal in '73 than the it had taken for the major US presence had been in place before his election ('65-'68).
I didn't vote for him (I would have chosen RFK, if I'd had a chance, of course), but I understood why some people bought his bullshit after LBJ fumbled his way into the "big" war in '65.
Since then, the GOP has been all shitbirds, all the time, from Ford to Reagan to the Bushes to the current pissant piece of manure, and all his enablers.
The Dems may be screw-ups, but at least they are honest screw-ups, as witness LBJ not running in '68. Pubs lie all the time, fuck things up, and then lie some more, pissing on your leg and telling you its raining, wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross, while shivving you in the back for Wall Street.
