I consider Reagan's conservative philosophy, which he was quite successful in furthering, as more harmful than beneficial. Perhaps if I knew more about Truman's presidency I would have voted for him. He probably can be credited with setting the proper conditions for containing the Soviet challenge. But on an emotional level, I find it hard to accept the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and I'm skeptical of the prevailing narrative that these acts were necessary to end the war with Japan. ~~Nate LevinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36737438.post-59953704770073607572008-04-17T14:46:00.000-04:002008-04-17T14:46:00.000-04:00thanks for voting jeremy... i didn't consider Lynd...thanks for voting jeremy... i didn't consider Lyndon "politics as usual" Johnson.<BR/><BR/>wondering about your thoughts on LBJ.klkatzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08972547410066863818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36737438.post-33807101374878723482008-04-17T02:29:00.000-04:002008-04-17T02:29:00.000-04:00I voted for Kennedy, but you left out my second an...I voted for Kennedy, but you left out my second and third choices: Carter and LBJ. I might have voted for Carter had you included him, on the strength of his lonely and principled defense of human rights alone.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12862169376352388965noreply@blogger.com
