Amos: Nixon war machine

Have you ever heard of LBJ?

He is the Democrat that started that war. It got handed to Nixon, a Republican, and he ended it.

Nixon BOOOOOOOOOOOOO He's an evil Republican

LBJ YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY He's a good old Democrat. From Taxas too. Good guys come from Texas. They swagger and speak with a twang.

"Many Democratic liberals resented his friendly association with the Republican president, Dwight D. Eisenhower; others considered him a tool of wealthy Southwestern gas and oil interests."

Houston, we have a problem.

Remember the NASA facility that opened in 1961 in Tejas after LBJ he was elected VP in 1960? The Johnson Space Center? I wonder why it was built there.
"Civic leaders and congressmen from other states doubted that Houston and environs met all of NASA's official criteria, at least any more than their towns did. They inquired about the roles of Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson,qv chairman of the high-level National Aeronautics and Space Council, and Representative Albert Thomas,qv also a Democrat and Texan and chairman of the Independent Offices Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee, in the choice of the Harris County site. Webb and other NASA officials denied all charges and suggestions of political influence"
