re: #258 FemNaziBitch

He pushed the CRA because he could. I’m really not sure anyone else could have gotten the legislation passed. He was the Master of the Senate.

He wanted popularity. He wanted to be POTUS in his own right. He could smell and interpret the winds like no other politician. He gave the people what they wanted because it fit with his agenda.

Only LBJ could have gotten the CRA passed
Only Nixon could go to China.

Sometime we just have to accept that good comes with the bad and take what we can, when we can.

He was a man not a saint and I think that’s the problem that some of the left have with him. They can’t put him on the same mantle as FDR or JFK, I really do think LBJ is under-appreciated by people from both sides. I mean the Vietnam issue has to be discussed but his vision domestically deserves credit even if he was a bit of a dick.
