What he did to MaryJo was EVIL.
What he did to SE Asia was EVIL.
Tell me where I am wrong.
He will have to answer for Mary Jo.
The other stuff is political, just as RR signing of the 67 Abortion Bill and GWB’s signing of NCLB.
1) he is just one man — worthless, yes, but just one man;
2) he has been protected by the fawning press and we'll all have to put up with the inevitable historical revisions to his life story;
3) he was elected to office — which means there are a lot of stupid people in the Commonwealth who are complicit in his evil deeds. (They'll probably reelect him after he's dead, too — idiots.).
He might not have been able to help who or what he was, but I blame his constituents for keeping him in office long after the rest of us knew what a pox on humanity he had become.
You are not wrong. Except for omitting his 1965 Immigration Reform Act.
That changed our society forever for the worse.
