Miss Scarlett done laid one on you S/N!:tonofbricks::tonofbricks:

I am still, and have been for years, trying to understand how a Christian could vote for a party whose platform endorses the slaughter of the unborn. Please! Please! enlighten me!

It's simple! I just fill in the little bubble on the ballot next to the candidate's name.

 

[Squire Robertsson]

As best as I can remember, I've voted Republican since 1972.

My apologies, I got you mixed up with the Scarlett in "Gone with the Wind."

I have never voted for a democrat for president, however I haven't voted for a Republican since George H. W. Bush and I knew he wasn't as conservative as I would have liked. His big down fall in my book was trying to compromise on to many things, but what else does a moderate do but compromise.

My problem with Nixon I suppose was that I very much admired him as President at my young age at the time. At first, I thought it all a lie from the media or his liberal enemies. The day Barry Goldwater asked him to resign, that was about it for me.

I still believe he was a rather good president, but he could have been a great one.

Had someone like Johnson done the same thing, I would not have given it a second thought, as I think he was the worst President of all times until Obama came along. Do you remember a guy named Billy Solestes?

I would put JFK worst than LBJ. But if you read about them, you will see they liked so many of the same things and did so many of the same things. Differences LBJ showed up to work most of the time and JFK wasn't know for that as a senator.

Billy was a wheeler dealer in democracy politics in Texas and a friend to LBJ, but he was mainly a friend to Billy. I believe he even got saved and joined a church at one time, you know like the governor from Ar. who was call Billy or Bill.

Though I didn't vote while I was in the service, JFK was my man (also my commander in chief).

Years before Roe vs Wade.

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country

Hey Bob,
During the Kennedy LBJ years, I was a young teen, so my impression of them was based on the rants of my Dad. My Dad liked LBJ less than Kennedy if that is possible for him, but Kennedy did cut taxes and was for a strong defense. I knew nothing about his moral life at the time. I doubt LBJ was any better. Also, although LBJ did not start our involvement in Vietnam, he boosted it quite a bit. I would not have voted for either. I do remember our house getting pelted with eggs and our Goldwater signs being destroyed during the 64 election.

I know nothing about their record in the Senate. LBJ was a seasoned politican long before Kennedy. I guess Kennedy's biggest gaff was the Bay of Pigs. I can still remember being scared out of my wits by the Cuban Missle Crisis. To make my runaway imagination worse, my Dad had a bomb shelter salesman come over and explain how it worked. I grew up in Gulfport, MS.

Lightyears away from the thinking of today's democrats. It's all about what your country can do for you now.

Democrats should change their name to the Entitlement Party.

Here's another quote which probably grates a raw nerve in Obama's social philosophy:

...the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe — the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.

It was a long time ago, far away. Yesterday's Democrats are to the right of today's Republicans. In 1960, or 1952, etc, we voted FOR what we thought was the best candidate. Today, we vote against the one who we think will do the most damage.

Four years ago, I do not remember if it was PBS or the History Channel, there was a mock debate between JFK and McCain. Kennedy was to the right of McCain. I think the real downhill slide of the Republican nominees started in 1988. For the Democrats, the far leftward tilt started with McGovern.

So now we know just how concerned you are about the slaughter of more than fifty million [50,000,000+] unborn children. That speaks volumes about your character but then you are for all practical purposes unknown on this board. Sadly these internet forums give people the venue to spew hateful views with no accountability.

Very sick and a poor witness!

Glad to know that S/N. From henceforth I, and I hope others, will not take advantage of your tender years! Kid gloves everyone!

JFK was much like Obama, had no record to mention in the Senate. Like Obama he was a charismatic speaker, adored by the hollywood crowd, and ??? That being said he had the ability to be a good president if he could have gotten his mind above his belt! Clinton had the ability to multitask and of course for 6 years had a Republican Congress.

LBJ is a prime example of politicians who come to DC poor and leave rich. He was a wheeler dealer from day one. I have read that his ability as wheeler dealer and liar that were successful in the Senate were a liability in the White House. One thing required of a president that is no in the Senate is the ability to make tough decisions. LBJ lacked that ability and his waffling on Viet Nam proved it. I will give him credit for understanding that inability and not running for a 2nd term.

While I'm not old enough to vote I'd probably have voted for FDR and Harry Truman. Maybe LBJ against Barry Goldwater.

I guess Kennedy's biggest gaff was the Bay of Pigs.

I was in the service at this time at McCoy AFB, Fl( Orlando).I would say the day before JFK was well liked by about 50 to 60 percent of the airman, after it maybe about 10 percent or less.
As Harry Truman said about JFK he wanted to know what the people were saying, "he had his ear to the ground so much that it was full of grasshoppers."

I have to hold my nose just to vote republican and many times do not vote because of their stench not to mention the Democrats.

 

[poncho]

I've never voted for a democrat and it wasn't an easy thing what with being a member of a trade union for 20 years. You think I've been called names here?

That ain't nothin compared to what my union "brothers" called me.

I voted for George W. Bush the first time around because he ran on a non interventionist, non nation building platform. I was neoconned just the one time and I learned from it.

We have an old saying in Tennessee. "Neocon me once shame on you, neocon me twice shame on me."

Okay now fess up how many times have you all been neoconned now?
