<<Somebody here made the same comment and received a response that the liberals may be exuberant in believing they ousted LBJ. But they were stupid to cut off the branch they were sitting on because after LBJ left the WH, the liberals could not take back the WH for almost 24 years. They just banished themselves to the wilderness. A foolish act isn't it?>>

One other point regarding the above idea. What we were doing was not based on some sort of Machevillian thinking. What we were doing was fighting for justice based on principle.

Kids, both ours and the Vietnamese, were being killed and a country destroyed for no good reason at all. It was the ultimate stupid war. The kind of war people of conscience oppose for no other reason than basic human decency.

Sometimes one fights even if they know they will lose. Not everything in life or politics is tactical. In fact that is part of our present problem. We need more folks like Bernie Sanders who are men of conscinece. He is also dead right.
