re: #107 William Barnett-Lewis

While there is a part of me that thinks that he would not have been as good a president overall (“Only Nixon could go to China” Cmdr Spock) I do know that as a nation we might well have been better off with less damage done on a daily basis to the honor of the office by a paranoid anti-semite. (Yeah, he sent lots of toys on Yom Kippur, he also hated “them” even more.). Perhaps he might have gotten us out of Vietnam with a somewhat smaller number of black zip locks coming home? By the point of the 1972 election no other outcome was going to happen in the vietnamese civil war.

Ah well, I get touchy about Vietnam. I may not have been old enough to serve there but my son was born in Phan Thiet in 2002. That’s enough reason to give those old SOB’s a drop kick whenever possible.

Interesting point for DF. President Nixon and his spawn that served in Bush 1 & 2 were anti-semites. Recorded. No bother?

The hypocrisy with the gop just kills me.
