Which is worse?

Both were bad-- but bugging a campaign airplane got my vote.  Johnson was a very mean man, and somewhat of a hack, and the way he wrongly framed Goldwater as someone who wants to unleash nuclear weapons on the people was sickening.  But I have a very hard time believing that Hubert Humphrey authorized any wrongdoings against Nixon in '68, as Nixon had occasionally implied.

By the way, there was more to Watergate than the third rate burglary.  I've always been most troubled by fake pamphlets and tricks that occured that actually occured at campaigns, not ones in party headquarters.  For example, I seem to remember reading about pamphlets supposedly from the McGovern camp accusing Humphrey and Muskie of illicit sexual conduct, when they were actually done by Nixon's team!  Disgusting!

I mentioned those when I talked about Goldwater unleashing nuclear weapons.  Don't compare Nixon to LBJ to make him look better; the fact is, Nixon did some dirty stuff, and it was very wrong.

I remember that when Johnson made an announcement on Vietnam on October 31st, Humphrey went up in the polls.  How could Nixon have sabotaged them?

Whoa, pretty sick stuff if it's true.
