Party members, not by a long shot:grr:

I never thought I'd ever see worse than Richard M. Nixon, but I was wrong.

1. IMHO, LBJ was just as bad as Nixon...he just didn't get caught.

2. I fought hard for civil rights, LBJ and the Democrats made progress there
for awhile. At least LBJ wanted to set-up genuine peace talks for a war he had escalated which were screwed over by Republican operatives- the folks around Kissinger, for instance.

3. Nixon was paranoid. He had a mean streak.
He often got drunk. He was a crook, but he resigned under pressure.

I wish we could apply that kind of pressure on George W. Bush aka The War President.

7. Dubya is a drunk too.
Maybe we could get him to crack under pressure ! He said he couldn't handle the pressure of the Press Conference. May be if he is harrassed enough?

6. The questionable use of mercenaries in the failed policy of the Bush
Doctrine, pre-emptive war against terrorism (mercenaries have a proven record of human rights abuse) look at mercenaries like Dyn Corp on this list of campaign contributors, mercenaries employed by George W. Bush aka The War President. Dyn Corp got the contract to train Iraqi police!:puke::argh:

8. George W. Bush aka The War President, is far worse than Nixon was.
I'm sure of that. His administration is not only capable of anything, but some, indeed did LIHOP 9/11 and the anthrax attacks imo.
