54. The discussion is about policies, not personalities
As a teenager, before i could vote, I was in the streets 'hey, hey LBJ, how many babies did you kill today.' I proceeded to protests against the wars in Southeast Asia,

But on domestic policy issues -aside from war and conscription- Nixon wasn't horrible. Who cares about his personality? Johnson also had a creepy personality, although he was an extrovert. Nixon was an extreme introvert who was uncomfortable in an extrovert's career.

I remember the liberal republicans. They were then about where DLC type dDems are today on many issues.


And the stupid Health Insurance corp bill won't do anything for me and my partner when we most need it: now!
