Watch out for the Ron Paul link to this video when adding to Facebook.

Not to mention over a million murdered Vietnamese, thousands of Vietnamese babies born with horrific birth defects from our dropping chemicals polluting the water table and 58,000 dead Americans.

LBJ was one of the worst Presidents of all time. Bobby Baker and Billy sol Estes, two close associates of LBJ were very corrupt and engulfed in scandal. LBJ was lucky he didn't have a hostile national media and Congress or he may have been impeached. And who can forget the Vietnam War debacle. Trillions of money wasted and thousands of America's best and brightest killed or maimed in a war LBJ didn't let us win because it made the military industrial complex richer and richer.

YEAH BARRY! I'm very proud that he was an Arizona native like me. His photography is actually pretty remarkable as well, I've got a book of his photos that was signed by him. Good ol Barry

@Justgetout If Barry Goldwalter was elected the USA wouldn't have intervened in the Vietnam War and having an abolition of a vast quantity of centralized governmental policies which in turn generating a budget surplus.
What other assumptions from your empirical observations will help answer this question-if Goldwalter was elected?

if not the worst

@Justgetout I'm a liberal and I do think LBJ sucked for the most part. The way he waged the Vietnam war was horrible. Firstly, I don't think we should've been involved in Vietnam in the first place, and secondly, if we did invade, then fight to win. His "limited" war policy was detrimental to the troops & generals trying to win.
That said, I'm not a fan of Barry Goldwater since he was against the Civil Rights Act, and that's why a lot of Southern Democrat Segregationists voted for him.
Its a terrible shame how he lost. LBJ was one of the worst presidents of the 20th century.

I have to disagree with that. His Great Society was also a disaster. It was intended to get rid of poverty in America. It didn't. Poverty was already going down before the Great Society, and while it went down faster in the mid 60s, it started going back up and ever since it has remained between 10-15%. Not to mention, those programs were very expensive and fiscally irresponsible. Also, Medicare ruined health care and its about to bankrupt our country. All of this from LBJ.
