Johnson, in one of the easiest and most enthusiastic votes I'd ever do in the US.

A vote for Johnson is a vote for thousands of civilians and innocents to die needlessly in a senseless war. Just throwing that out there.

You'd have to be a real horrible person to vote for Barry "State's Rights" Goldwater.

Almost, just almost, but not quite as awful as voting for the murder of thousands.

Because Goldwater was such a hardcore pacifist... Roll Eyes

Johnson had issues, but the War does not override the massive reductions in poverty, the increases in lower-income educational opportunities nor the other benefits of the Great Society, including the Voting Rights Act.

Finally someone who makes sense! Thank you.
