Isn't that a great picture?

Truman was good, I am not so fond of Warren, mainly because of the Warren Report on JFK's death.

Yes, they would have been.

I must confess that I was reading about Goldwater a little while back and by today’s standards he wasn’t radically rightwing, seems like more of a libertarian to me… decent guy imho… wouldnt have voted for him but painting him as a creepy radical was unfair the guy did care a great deal… I seem to remember that Kennedy and Goldwater where friends and has agreed that if Goldwater was nominated they would try and pursue as even handed and civil a campaign as possible… it probably an unpopular view for a democrat to hold but a lot of the partisan bitterness in this country can be traced back the elections of 1964 and 1968 imho…  

well LBJ was an asshole, in his attempts to get the nomination in 1960 he did a lot of smearing of his opponents in the democratic party.

Truman was good, I am not so fond of Warren, mainly because of the Warren Report on JFK's death.

Take a look at his record as California governor... they guy was amazing it was either 1944 or 1946 but both party's nominated him for Governor and had Ike not run in 1952 Warren would probably have got the GOP nomination... added to this he was one of the biggest single forces behind the advancement of civil rights in the USA the Supreme Courts ruling on Brown v Board of Education where of immense significance... but you have a point about the Warren report then again I subscribe to the "lone gunman theory" but I do have an open mind and the report was shoddy imho...    

I know all about Brown v Board of Education Topeka, Kansas, learnt about it at school.
