“Let me remind you that Richard Nixon, Republican, was elected President in 1968.”
Pelly, Pelly, Pelly. You have to remember that Democrats play hard ball. In the late ‘60’s - 1970’s, the media, together with Bubba’s mentor Fulbright, Ted Kennedy and others savaged Nixon every day. Congress was controlled by Democrats and they had their way with the country. If Nixon got a bill passed, Congress would override Nixon. Remember, Pelly, those were the Watergate days, Nixon could do no right.
But, why tell you. Your mind is made up.
Perhaps you ought to remove your blinders and read some of the actual history of what happened back then.
“But, why tell you. Your mind is made up.”
Good to see that high school wit is still popular. It never gets old.
“In the late ‘60’s - 1970’s, the media, together with Bubba’s mentor Fulbright, Ted Kennedy and others savaged Nixon every day. Congress was controlled by Democrats and they had their way with the country. “
And so we learn that you think that harsh words negated Nixon’s authority as Commander in Chief while he was President.
That’s an interesting albeit confused theory which at least explains your fantasy that the Democrats controlled the conduct of the war while Nixon was President.
But I’m sure that you must have a truly illuminating theory as to who exactly was the acting CIC from 1969 to 1974, since it evidently wasn’t Nixon.
Was it Speaker John McCormick? Carl Albert? Majority Leader Mike Mansfield? C’mon, inquiring minds want to know who was in charge! Don’t keep such valuable information to yourself!
“Perhaps you ought to remove your blinders and read some of the actual history of what happened back then.”
Don’t have to read it. I was alive and saw it occur in real time. I’m quite certain you didn’t.
