"Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first." -Ronald Reagan

"Basher" means someone who trashes the President over any and everything.

You're right.

Carter was/is plain stupid, Clinton an immoral philandering lying hedonist, but LBJ was criminal to the bone. Undoubtably the most evil man to be POTUS.

Why not? Big Spending Bush expanded LBJ Medicare with the costly Medicare Rx plan.

What's next on the agenda? Amnesty and more H1-B Visas?

His dark side comes out too often..I loved the unveiling of the Rapist and Hitlery. Bush was so gentlemanly. I guess once you have praised the Rapist then doing LBJ is not that hard.

You have to work at it very very hard to be as big a disappointment as George W Bush has become to me since his reelection. Oh my God, do I ever wish Ronald Reagan was still President!

LBJ was so crooked, he had to be screwed into the ground when he was buried.

Honoring LBJ is like honoring Al Capone because he donated to soup kitchens. Sheesh, Mr. Bush, you don't have a lot of time left - don't waste it on trash.

I have voted for Bush four times.

Twice for governer of Texas.

Twice for President.

I have to admit to some disabatement of my hopes.

He has lost his way. He has lost the true path of conservatism.

It started with the "new tone" stuff and has come to this.

Here are some of LBJ's dubious "achievements":

Wasn't his also the first administration to tap in to the Social Security Lock box?

I honestly wonder if he ever really had it.

There's only been one conservative president in my lifetime and he died in 2004.

I believe the SS Fund was kept separate until LBJ and the Dem's started dipping into it to fund their Great Society Programs.
