I didn't say that LBJ was any better. They are both responsible for continuing a war that we had no chance of winning. Nixon was dirty and vindictive to any who opposed him. Even the ones in he perceived as a threat that wasn't. He may have done some good things while in office but as a man he was evil.

I believe LBJ was THE most manipulative and vindictive to hold the office. And though he did not pull the trigger I do believe he was aware of machinations afoot to assassinate his predecessor JFK.

No, he was far worse, and yet no condemnation of him from the media will you hear. There’s a very good reason why, and it’s because the media IS the strong arm of the Democrat Party, attaining and retaining power from America’s trusted source for truth, the national news media who hides under the guise of an unbiased first amendment protected source just looking for truth, when in reality, the subversive right hand of the Democrat party, without which the Democrat party could not and would not have power at all if they were to have to stand on their own record by themselves.

A war that was started by LBJ with no real objective in place, or plan of egress once stated objective was accomplished, and Vietnam is an example of going half assed into a war without a plan and without the men and material to both take and hold territory. If you’re going to go to war, then go to WIN IT, not play games with American lives. Otherwise, just don’t embark upon it.

Nixon was elected on the basis of him getting us OUT of the Vietnam quagmire that LBJ got us in, and that he did through bombing the commies back to the negotiating table. He did exactly what he was elected to do, but somehow gets the entity of the blame for the Vietnam war. Explain that to anyone with a functioning brain how that makes any good sense whatsoever. I think I’ve explained why it does not, and where that all stems from.
