LBJ revisited

Hi

Today I am going to hold off on the conservative platform to go over some other points. As you can tell from the title this is a comparison to the presidency of LBJ. Johnson ran against Goldwater on a platform that Goldwater was a "shoot from the hip war monger who would escalate the Viet Nam war". After the election, LBJ then actually did escalate the war. It cost him a chance for reelection because it actually empowered the anti war people against him. They combined with the republican people and the popularity of Johnson declined,he knew he would lose reelection. He had no choice but not run.

Now lets update this scenario. Obama ran on a platform of taking the troops out f Iraq immediately Now what does he do, first he reneges on that promise,then he appoints people to his cabinet who actually supported the policy that he decried. One need only to look at his appointments, Hillary Clinton as SOS?. reappointment of Gates for defense. Here is the typical hypocritical actions of our national politicians., Now you can see why I am a conservative. We must drive this point home, this so called attempt at reaching across the aisle doesn't work. The government should be made up of either conservative or liberals, people who advocate one method of governing, not some mixed bag of policy.

During the recent election cycle I sometimes got the feeling of "me too republicanism" was reborn. For those who don't know what that refers to, it is the phrase used to describe the campaign of against FDR when he ran for a third term. The republicans ran on a platform that if FDR could give perks to the people,the republicans could do the same. I ask you. "Why vote for a cheap imitation?" We mustn't fall into this trap ever again.

I will close for now to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday. I wish you all the best. Peace and prosperity to all.

Pray that our service men and women can enjoy the holiday in safety.
GOD Bless
