There was a young Marine in dress uniform that marched with 500,000+ of us in DC to demand an end to the war.
Everytime I march there are vets marching too.
So what is your point?

12. What does that have to do with where he'd stand if he were alive today? |

His grandkid is a Dem now, why not Ike himself?

6. This is what I've been saying... |
|
Push back whenever anyone pushes our party to the right
I don't let anyone call me far left because I espouse what I believe to be classic Liberalism. The far left no longer exists in the Democratic Party, if it ever did.

And that is what Bill Clinton was.
Apologies to Magistrate, whom I know thinks I am full of shit for saying this, but if Bill Clinton had been around in the 60s, his policies would have made him a moderate Republican.
