He was a huge (literally) FF.  He messed up on Vietnam, but his positives far outweigh any negatives.

Lief, I always had you pegged as someone who would be anti-LBJ.  Texan pride?

Bush is practically a clone of LBJ in their policies. Big Federal Government, Open Borders, Interventionist. I don't understan these liberals who hate Bush but admire LBJ. They are one in the same.

They aren't even close.  LBJ tried to help the poor with his policies; Bush tried to help the super-wealthy.

He was very much both in my opinion. This is a good example of why HP-FF is a false dichothomy. Johnson was the embodiment of a horrible person. But he was also a freedom fighter in many respects.

I have to agree with this statement. While I respect him greatly for his fight for Civil Rights I don't like his role in greatly expanding government and the pointless surge of troops in Vietnam. There must be a third way!

Very true; that's why I usually do Positve-Neutral-Negative in my polls.
