Hubert Horatio Humphrey is an awesome name.

He's the original Triple H.

@Whoo69 Actually, Humphrey disagreed with LBJ on Vietnam. LBJ punished Humphrey because of it. If LBJ had only listened to HHH on Vietnam, a lot of lives could have been saved, and LBJ's presidency probably would have been more popular. But, LBJ was stubborn on Vietnam and wanted "yes-men" and ignored HHH's good advice. See the official senate.gov bio on Hubert Humphrey. YouTube isn't letting me post the link..

Kennedy '68!!!!

Hubert was the author and champion of Medicare which passed in 1965. He would be "pleased as punch" to know the results of a new CBS News poll shows that Americans have mixed feelings about what should happen to Medicare: While 53 percent say the program needs fundamental changes, 58 percent say it should continue the way it is set up now. CONTINUE JUST LIKE HHH WANTED IT! Stupid Paul Ryan and stupid "New GOP"!

@fuckinjones23:  Yeah, let's see you complain about Iraq and Afghanistan, then. You're full of gas.

Oh, and TAX THE FILTHY RICH!

@ProgRockNerd

I agree. It would be great if your left wing president- hero BH Obama would stop the terrorist activities in Libya and Yemen. The fact that we are printing and borrowing money to support these actions is especially egregious

I think if Humphrey had won then the peace would also include the USA recognising Hanoi on the side of Saigon in which a few Western Countries did after 1969.

@steveforsane Humphrey was a great American liberal at a time when American liberals were riding high. Mr. Humphrey was a solid VP for LBJ and was a strong nominee for the Dems in '68 (barely losing to former 2-term GOP VP Richard Nixon). Although a liberal, Humphrey was an advocate of a strong US military & was hawkish on defense policy compared to the liberals of today. IMO, Humphrey would have made a good President & was the last good Dem nominee for president until Clinton.

"Mental disorder"? That's right-wing militarism, thank you very much--today's conservatives don't understand that bombing the world into submission makes things worse, not better. Just becase There Are Bad People Out There doesn't mean the solution is Shoot First, Ask Questions Later.

Giant Hemmoroid! LBJ was IMO WAS hands down the most criminal to lead us ever, and that is really something considering the contenders for that the number 1 slot! LOL!

@NebraskasWallpaper He was just another asshole in Washington that helped us lose the Vietnam War by not letting us shoot the enemy until they shot us. The asshole liberals in Congress are still doing that today in Iraq and Afghanistan. Liberalism is definitely a mental disorder.
