What you call spaghetti is actually a complete answer.

Your list of questions is simplistic and a wrong way of looking at those presidents overall qualities. A yes or no answer tells you nothing. You keep thinking in simplistic terms without the big picture or context.

If you notice on my bio, I quote H.L Mencken:" for every complex problem there is a simple answer and it is usually wrong. I explained why in my last post and it seems to have gone right over your head.

If Mother Teresa was found to have been selling babies, her good work is mitigated. That is the big picture. Certain behavior mitigates other behavior.

In each case you list a yes or no answer would tell you nothing meaningful about the person. And you seem incapable of seeing that. I will try again with Nixon as he is easy to see. When he agreed to the EPA it was actually the dems who took the lead, and most congress people were on board with it anyway. It was a bipartisan issue. He did nothing special.

As far as China goes, a Democrat could not go to China because the Republicans would have called them a pinko. Remember the House of UnAmerican activities?

But of much greater importance was the fact Nixon was a monster. He was responsible for killing hundreds of thousands of people in Viet Nam needlessly just to be reelected by sabotaging the Viet Nam peace talks, plus he surrounded him self with criminals just like Trump.

Bush should go without saying and liberals got rid of LBJ.

That was an awfully big plate of spaghetti lacking the answers to 5 questions requiring only "yes" or "no" to answer them.

Try again

Was Ike on the wrong side when he started the interstate highway system, IGY, and the space race?
Was Nixon on the wrong side when he started the EPA and went to China?
Was Shrub on the wrong side with Medicare D?
Was LBJ on the right side in Nam?
Were Hillary and Kerry on the right side in Iraq?
