The problem the media and the Democrats have is that it looks like they've turned the corner in Iraq. US soldiers are now in mainly support and training roles rather than actual patrolling. The death rate has dropped. Troop numbers are being reduced. The economy is growing very quickly and Iraqis are beginning to return to a sense of normality.

Well lets see, he lost the Cuban missile crisis (they had to pull their ballistic missile screen out of Turkey in order to get the Soviet missiles out of Cuba), made a pigs ear of overthrowing Castro (pun intended), started the Vietnam war (first troops in direct combat though they had been there since the 1940's) and he got into power by stuffing ballot boxes. He also behaved despicable in his personal life while in office.
But he is loved...
I am a much bigger fan of Nixon; he was a great man.
 
How come nobody has asked Eamon Dunphy his opinion on this important issue?
 
political gag o' the day:

Barack Obama now considered the front-runner.
You know what they say, behind every successful man is a woman.
Hillary was surprised to find out that it was her.
