In 1968, on the eve of the presidential election, Lyndon Johnson found out that Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger were actively working to stop his administration from concluding a peace deal with the North Vietnamese. Nixon didn’t want that kind of October surprise to shift the election to Johnson’s vice president, Hubert Humphrey.
Unfortunately for LBJ, he couldn’t reveal that kind of political hanky-panky because he found out about it by illegally wiretapping the Nixon campaign.
In 1980, rumors were rampant that the Reagan campaign had actively worked to ensure that Iran wouldn’t give back the American hostages right before the election, which it had held for more than a year. If those rumors were true, they worked because Carter didn’t get the hostages back in time to save his presidency.

That's actually true. Also, Kissinger was worth any five Demwit Sec'ys of State.
The story about Reagan was a partisan media smear, the hotel in Iberia where the meetings between Bill Casey and the Shiite-heads supposedly took place hadn't even been built yet. Thanks bitt.
good info, thanks!
It is BS. The democrats are always attempting to rewrite history.
I like it !
Pairs nicely with my 'tough shiite' responses ;-)
