To anyone who voted for LBJ (whom I think is our worst president ever tied with bush).  Do you remember a little thing called VIETNAM!

[D]

I guess I put him cause I dont know who the fuck Goldwater is, and there are no guarantees that Goldwater wouldnt have went as well, just like we may have ended up in Iraq even if Gore had won the presidency, u never know.

[RichardNixon]

I meant to write Mondale in '84, my bad. Carter, worse than Bush? ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahhahahhahahhahahhahahhahahahhahahahahhaha

And Carter was to the left-of-center, not a "left-winger." McGovern was a left-winger, and a good man.

JFK got us into Vietnam.

[Axl_owns_dexter]

All I know about Goldwater is that he was old school conservative.  And conservative at that time meant isolationist, so IMO Vietnam was not on the table for Goldwater.

[Axl_owns_dexter]

JFK got un into Vietnam.

Actually we officially got into Vietnam in the 50's.  However, JFK, according to what has been written, was not keen on a full scale war in Vietnam.  He was actually one of the only ones in his administration that wasn't for war in Vietnam.  Which is partly why the conspiracy theorists about his death persist.

[RichardNixon]

I'm not a history major or anything, but I think Ike had some advisors on Nam, but the war really started with JFK's secret bombing in '62. Then of course the gulf of tonken res. is the official start, in '64, with LBJ.

[Axl_owns_dexter]

Remember that Macnamura DVD a couple years ago "the fog of war." I am pretty sure he said right around that time that Kennedy didn't have plans for a full scale war.  Secret bombings are one thing, and full scale war with 100's of thousands of troops is another.

[RichardNixon]

"The Fog of War" is one of my favorite movies. Really gives you an idea how these people behind the scenes think.

Mcnamara's belief is that Kennedy wouldn't have gone the way Johnson did.

[Booker Floyd]

1960- Kennedy
1964- LBJ
1968- Humphrey
1972- McGovern
1976- Carter
1980- Carter
1984- Mondale
1988- Dukakis
1992- Clinton
1996- Clinton
2000- Gore?
2004- Kerry
2008- Clinton

All I know about Goldwater is that he was old school conservative.? And conservative at that time meant isolationist, so IMO Vietnam was not on the table for Goldwater.

"If I had inherited the mess that Johnson got into, I would have said to North Vietnam, by dropping leaflets out of B-52s, 'You quit the war in three days or the next time these babies come over there going to drop some big bombs on you.' And I'd make a swamp out of North Vietnam...I'd rather kill a hell of a lot of North Vietnamese than one American and we've lost enough of them."

I have far more respect for the Goldwater near the end of his life than the one up for election in 1964.

Also, Goldwaters election would have likely been an issue in itself considering that he was born in Arizona before it was actually part of the United States...it wouldve been interesting to see how we wouldve resolved that problem.

Goldwater on Bill Clintons wife, Hillary: "If he'd let his wife run business, I think he'd be better off. ... I just like the way she acts. I've never met her, but I sent her a bag of chili, and she invited me to come to the White House some night and said she'd cook chili for me. Someday, maybe."

"A lot of so-called conservatives today don't know what the word means," he told the Los Angeles Times in a 1994 interview. "They think I've turned liberal because I believe a woman has a right to an abortion. That's a decision that's up to the pregnant woman, not up to the pope or some do-gooders or the religious right. It's not a conservative issue at all."
