The war in Iraq needed to be and I supported him on that issue as a matter of fact I voted for him both times, that is right I voted for him both times! The only reason I put that post on there was to see what you was thinking, and it came to light. Dont give any credit to Kennedy for going against communist, and I never said anything bad about Johnson but you did and when I stated a fact about Nixon you just jumped on his side because he was a Rebulican. It just goes back to the same old thing; if they are democrats it dont matter what they have done for this country you will be against them.
NO, you have things a bit wrong here...I would have and STILL DO support the efforts in VIETNAM...I was merely pointing out that there is a double standard where the two parties are concerned. I did not badmouth Kennedy for that, although I don't think he is the saint that a lot of people do, I agree with the effort to stem Communism...I am all for that wherever it happens in the world.
Lyndon Johnson LIED much the same that Obambi is now when he promised to bring the troops home...things CHANGED back then and he did what he thought he had to do in the war effort. Thats all well and good, but you cannot gloss over the FACT that he LIED about bringing troops home...thats the problem I have is that the lies get ignored.
Nixon had PLENTY of problems, yet his actions get ignored where bringing the troops home is concerned. I have a whole bunch of disagreements with the way the entire Vietnam war was conducted, but when you look at the ACTIONS of all three concerning the war, only NIXON brought the troops home, yet he didnt send them there in the first place, the previous two did.
Watergate notwithstanding, Obambi isnt a wart on the ass of Nixon when it comes to being a Statesman and a Leader. I didnt accuse you of saying anything bad about Bush...it was more of a blanket statement concerning the beatings he has gotten for the Iraq war. I also dont think I jumped to the aid of Nixon either...as I said he had PLENTY of problems of his own creation to deal with...I just dont think he got the credit deserved for following through with bringing our troops home from Vietnam. IF Obambi would bring troops home, not just recycle them from one theater to another, I would give him credit for that too...to date however he has NOT.

The 1st amendment allows the usual liberal narcissistic "I think.." which is how they start all their sentences.
The second amendment protects us from implementing "I think"
