For you Veer

LBJ was probably the most effective president post FDR.
LBJ was effective at leaning on congressmen to vote the way HE wanted them to. No president these days could pull that off, it's different world in DC now. Not too sure LBJ was very good at anything else, but he did have sense enough to NOT to run in the next election.

Medicare? Civil rights? Claiming LBJ has no successes is as loony as claiming he's the best president ever.

I said he had success getting people to vote the way HE wanted them too. No way a president today could get away with talking to senators and congressmen the way LBJ did back then. THAT is why he got those programs through, it just wouldn't happen the way he did it in today's political climate and 24/7 news cycle where NOTHING is a secret.

That is cute Duck, factually inaccurate, but cute.

Democrats don't lie, do they?

" I did not have sex with that woman"

" If you like your health insurance, you can keep it"

" Did I wipe it clean with a towel" ?

Yep, Republicans hold the market on lying....:D

As I have said before, I hate Republicans, I just hate Democrats more.

It's a different world, no doubt, but he pushed for a number of transformative programs that were successes, and he raised taxes to pay for his war instead of passing the buck.
 
You should be happy with this Veer, at least GW was lower than your BFF Obama. :D Just remember, the troops loved Reagan.

Reagan was like most GOPers.. he talked a good game and told people what they wanted to hear while being a dirtbag.
