Walter Cronkite cost us the Vietnam war. His pronouncement that, because of the Tet Offensive (which WE WON!!!!!) America could no longer win the war, and any further attempts to win would be useless, emboldened the anti-war efforts in our country into surrendering to the communists.
From that point onwards we just spent priceless American blood in a futile attempt to enrich the defense contractors, while not winning a damned thing.
The blood of so many American soldiers rides on his shoulders...I despise that man, as I despise Hanoi Jane Fonda and so many others.

What always happens is, I read an article and get energized to respond, but I don’t wait until I’ve read every comment. Which I should’ve done, seeing as you had already responded.

Those absence ballots stopped a LOT of really bad legislation, from gun bans to cap-and-trade. zIt would have worked more successfully had the GOP “leadership” not caved at the very last minute and stopped the walkout.
