I take issue with your remark regards the cold war, he was the beneficiary of a fairly constant practice, BUT he deserves credit for toughing it out when the politics were very much against him here and aboard and pushing them across the tipping point.


and far left will not get him elected, you know that, and I don't see democrats as the far lefty party either they just have an over abundance of influences due to money and press out of proportion to heir true electoral power. Democrats were the party of the people, moderates, and security minded folk etc. Blue collar, that’s is until mcgovern…


anyway sorry for the OT digression.
