The Democrats who were responsible for the Vietnam War
Advertisements [?]
Many Americans took to the streets in the 1960s to protest an unnecessary war against a country that never attacked us. It's worth remembering which craven Democrats voted for that immoral and illegal war and helped get us stuck in the hellhole of Nam for ten years.

Among those who voted for the wasteful Vietnam War by voting YEA on the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution:

Eugene McCarthy

George McGovern

Oh sure, once it was obvious the war was unpopular, both of them conveeeeeniently became "anti-war." Well guess what? Too little too late! THEY helped get us there and therefore any backtracking against the war they did after the fact is immaterial and irrelevant. They clearly are responsible for the war. The blood of 58,000 American soldiers and countless Vietnamese civilians is on their hands. Big words after the fact don't erase the fact that they voted for the war! They gave a green light to the war and that must never be forgotten or forgiven.
