FDR and LBJ may have had rather left-wing economic policies, but nobody seriously doubted their commitments to defending the country. No one ever doubted Truman or JFK, either.

The New Left destroyed the Democratic party's political strength.

FDR hired Eisenhower (conservative) to run his war.

Truman - had the courage to take out Japan - and it saved the world.

JFK was tough - but he also was wimpy - as the Bay of Pigs event proved.

LBJ totally screwed up Vietnam. He allowed politics to run the war - and they were the same people who hated the war. It's no wonder it was a mess. And with American "supporters" like Cronkite and Kerry .. it was doomed to be a failure.

There is no doubt in my mind that had Kerry been elected, Iraq would already have become our worst nightmare.

These dems are anti-war and they CANNOT lead the country during war time - and the WOT is a WAR whether or not the dems will admit it.
