70 years ago today, Germany invaded Poland, and officially kicked off the start of WWII.  Hard to believe it's been that long, eh?

Coburn, you do realize it was the GOP that kept us from getting involved earlier, right?

Actually, that is not at all a fair assessment.  There were many Democrat isolationist, and the GOP eventually ended up running an internationalist candidate (Willkie) against FDR.

True, but let's not forget a fellow named William Borah.

And let's not forget a fellow named John Nance Garner, either.  We can play this game all day.

Garner was Vice President by 1938; hardly as important as Borah.
