65. It was 1968, 40 years ago. And Wallace received over 9.9 million votes.
And split the Democratic vote in two. If Wallace's votes had gone to Humphrey, he would have been the President. Humphrey was willing to pull out of Vietnam by 1970 in an orderly fashion. Instead, we got Nixon and 58,000 more men were killed in Vietnam because he "didn't want to be the first President to lose a war". The American troops were sacrificed so that Nixon could run for re-election with his famous "I've got a plan to get us out of Vietnam" slogan.

Bush is the 2nd President to lose a war, but he won't pull the troops out to keep them from being killed. Now it is obvious that Bush is sacrificing our own American troops so that he won't have to admit he lost in Iraq. Bush is a war criminal by any standards whatsoever.
