65. Yes, I'm capable of talking about domestic policy
but in your opening post, you say to separate Vietnam out of the equation, but it can never be separated.

Also, if you see one of my earlier posts, I consider LBJ as corrupt & evil as Bush.

As a matter of fact, I think he was a more deserving candidate for impeachment than Richard Nixon, however the Dems were in control back then.

LBJ's policies created a rift in our country that we still have not recovered from. Young against old, black against white, pro-war vs anti-war, liberal vs conservative, big government vs small government, are all still haunting us today.

And perhaps the worst, very worst result of his Presidency is a mistrust of gov't which remains to this day, & is still playing itself out: witness the recent election.

So when you talk domestic policies, you're really talking about legislation passed. I'm talking domestic policy, as to how his presidency affected our country, & that's domestic policy.
