What do expect from a state that gave us George W. Bush AND Lyndon Johnson, arguably the two worst presidents in the past 100 years.
The two presidents most responsible for bankrupting this country speak/spoke with Texas accents. And these two presidents were responsible for getting us into wars we could not win.
Go Cougars.
Not that I have any love lost for Pres. Johnson, but it was actually Saint Kennedy that got us into Viet Nam.
C'mon, let's not blame Texas for the country's ills. I'd be much more inclined to blame Utah for harboring the LDS Church, which is undeniably responsible for more familial strife than I care to imagine. And the "church" is worldwide, so we can thank it for exporting its goofy brand of Jesus kool-aid around the globe. So trust me, Utards, the rest of the world has no great love for you, either.
marks: Get whole. Johnson lied to us about the USS Maddox and Turner Joy being fired upon in the Golf of Tonkin. He ordered retaliation and thus began our long nightmare in Southeast Asia.
For sure our ships were doing some spying, probably electronic since they were destroyers, but the attacks probably never happened.
Kennedy was not involved - he was dead - in any decision to go to war in Vietnam.
The decision was Johnson's based on information spoon-fed him by Robert McNamara, the Defense secretary, who has since written apologetically about his awful decision.
