...testing the water?

Lololololol

Shock value? Actually, he was only half-bad… I remember in HS, a few years from voting age, ending up in a large ‘double lab’ of students where our table of 6 promoted Nixon against ..countless tables supporting George McGovern. Brought up conservative, I’ve still got a fist full of ‘Nixon Now’ campaign buttons

As with Eisenhower, when comparing how far our nation’s stumbled to the right, Nixon can appear progressive. And we’ve had far, far worse since. But, I happily voted for Carter, when my opportunity arrived..

Nixon began the EPA and expanded access to healthcare. He'd never be elected by the right today.

@Ktcyan He had something like 174 IQ.

“They all suck” … really.. Jimmy Carter ‘sucked?’ ..Barack Obama sucked..? That’s the attitude and depth of thought that brings us suckers (thankyouverymuch)

@Varn I was too young for Jimmy Carter. Obama did do some good things but the whole health-care act really pissed me off, mainly the tax penalty if you don't have it. Trump is just a disaster. As an adult not 1 has impressed me, nor any one in congress. ???

@Presley1209 @Varn I wasn't too thrilled with Obama's whole "drone strike assassinations against US ciitizens with no trial" thing. I don't care what you've done, the Constitution says you're entitled to a trial and as far as I'm concerned that's the end of it.

@Presley1209 Fair enough. It’s impossible for any president to please this nation, though I feel the best ones try.. Going back to Bill Clinton, he had Hillary come up with a ‘national healthcare plan,’ and from what I remember, it was great - comparable if not better than any in the world. Death by Republicans was it’s demise.

Instead, they prompted an ‘alternative.’ Later, assuming they’d back their own plan, Obama spent his political capital making ‘their alternative’ work, which foolishly became labeled Obama-care... It was a start, and was headed for the real thing ..until ‘this’ sorry excuse for a human being ..let alone a US President.

As for Congress, I’m from Oregon, so am perhaps spoiled ..but Jeff Merkley, Ron Wyden and congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici (my former reps) continue to impress me ~

@cmadler Obama got Osama, too ~ War is tuff stuff, and the term ‘collateral damage’ doesn't come from nowhere... I was so pissed over Obama’s Executive Amnesty that I left the Democratic Party! In fact, I could barely stomach Hillary’s ‘open border’ mentality … but neither came close to the negativity, deceit and detrimental effects of their opposition.. thus I would champion both.

@Redcupcoffee From what I have read Bobby was as bad as his brother. I don't remember the exacts but the feeling of being shattered. I thought of something I am going to put out. It is called "critical thinking" not critical feeling. We don't have to like what we learn and sometimes accepting something we don't like makes it even more meaningful.

...how old are you

79

Good ol Mickey! I sure wish he was president now. If only the anti-politics ,anti-clinton ,anti-trump group would have gotten their heads together he could have been

...boy ..you're a lot older than you look

i extended the context to a president that i admired the most in the history of america. So I didn't exactly answer your question. but it was a good question

Reagan did damage that is still being felt. He was the architect of the demise of the middle class. Among the worst in history.

Reagan ushered in the beginning of the end. No US president in my history gave more to the Religious-wrong than he. His having ‘faced down’ the Soviet Union had placed our advanced nuclear bomber squadrons on the runways of Europe - armed and ready more times than an ex-military friend of the time could remember.. He bulegerantly gambled with our lives then ‘lucked out’ that the Soviet’s though him dumb enough to actually attack … making ‘them’ the heroes of the cold war, not Reagan.

He was best described as an “Amiable Dupe,” and considering he’d ‘replaced’ one of the USA’s most intelligent and humanitarian presidents, a giant leap backward; comparable to the leap we’ve taken from Obama to ‘this.’ Reagan placed zealots in key cabinet positions, appointed the likes of Scalia to Federal Judgeships … then took naps with a full belly of jellybeans.. For all he gave the religious & far-wrong of this nation, and the trajectory he foolishly set in place, I consider him right there with the 3 worst presidents of my lifetime: Reagan, Bush Jr, and ‘this.’

@kenriley Wuv you too, buddy... lmao

@Redcupcoffee But,,, but.. you don't even know me... I'm guessing you would agree with me that anybody that would intentionally harm children should be put away, yes? Do we agree on that level?
