Reply #33: Thanks Leilani. Yes, the parallels between LBJ & Bush are frightfully [View All]

[Zinfandel]

similar and indeed disheartening and arrogantly outragous...All you said about Johnson's wealth and his slimy strong-armed dealings are all too true and we see Bush doing the exact same with his tax policies and corporate give-aways...Johnson said and did anything to stay in power (like Bush again)...LBJ lying about why we went to war and the escalation and the lies that continued to allow more Americans to die, the same as Bush has done... Truly shameless men. His "guns & butter", is much the same as Bush's favor of huge military spending at the expense of the people to where the tax revenue is generated from. Screw the people.

"And he surrounded himself with yes-men, who he then humiliated & degraded." As well as LBJ stealing an election. Does this also sound like Bush? I couldn't of said it better myself.

The Texas good old boy network was and is alive and thriving.

What few know besides LBJ's shrink, is the pain he allegedly went through after leaving office--- All alone with no power, just his ill gotten fortune, pretty much forgotten, left to himself on his ranch...a very fitting karmic ending to a very indecent disgusting man...

People won't accept the truth simply because of the media's portrait and that he was a democrat (in name only). Just like the republican will never accept all the above about the heartless elitist Bush!
