Simply not possible for a Republican to forget that one.
Remember, the Vietnam War was a DEMOCRAT THING ~ we were trying to reign in stupid and excessive spending ~ and the war was just a part of that deal.
The Democrats opposed EVERYTHING. That's when they started their "Full Funding" campaign. What that deal involved was making sure that appropriations bills authorized expenditures to the extent possible under the budget, or the enabling legislation for a particular government program.I bet you thought (like millions of others) that the anti-Nixon dramaturgy arose out of his handling of the Vietnam War.
It didn't ~ the whole thing was about money ~ how to get it, how to waste it, how to put it in the pockets of union bosses and commie front groups.
This ACORN BS of Obama's isn't a new thing with Democrats. They've been conspiring to steal everybody's everything for decades.
I didn’t forget it so much, as didn’t pick up on the reference. I didn’t say I was Republican at the time, just that I was old enough to vote then, though not old enough to worry greatly about the details of Federal program funding. I was still having trouble funding my own life.
