>We hold that government, and those entrusted with government, should set a high example of honesty, of justice, and unselfish devotion to the public good; that they should labor to maintain tranquillity at home and peace and friendship with all the nations of the earth.

>There are no Communists in the Republican Party. We have always recognized Communism to be a world conspiracy against freedom and religion. We never compromised with Communism and we have fought to expose it and to eliminate it in government and American life. A Republican President will appoint only persons of unquestioned loyalty. We will overhaul loyalty and security programs. In achieving these purposes a Republican President will cooperate with Congress. We pledge close coordination of our intelligence services for protecting our security. We pledge fair but vigorous enforcement of laws to safeguard our country from subversion and disloyalty. By such policies we will keep the country secure and restore the confidence of the American people in the integrity of our Government.

>We condemn bigots who inject class, racial and religious prejudice into public and political matters. Bigotry is un-American and a danger to the Republic. We deplore the duplicity and insincerity of the Party in power in racial and religious matters. Although they have been in office as a Majority Party for many years, they have not kept nor do they intend to keep their promises. The Republican Party will not mislead, exploit or attempt to confuse minority groups for political purposes. All American citizens are entitled to full, impartial enforcement of Federal laws relating to their civil rights.

It's impossible to read this without getting a freedom boner.

Nixon, you twat

If he hadn't started the war on drugs and got caught up in Watergate. He would have been known as a great progressive republican president. would have been perfect if he did that and reversed LBJ's gun control act.

If Nixon did his whole second term. the Democrats would not have taken the congress in teh mid terms. which means South Vietnam would not have been cut off from support. They could have resisted northern aggression better.

>>1808726
Nixon gets a bad rap imho. Ffs he typed with the idea of ubi in the early 70s.

Like others I also like ike, but he did start the venture of America's role as world police. He also suppressed democratic movements in latin America at the behest of companies.... I know he feared communism so I understand his reasoning but these policies in my opinion are a blemmish on what I would consider and impeccable presidential career.

He did nothing special with regards to the Soviets that wasn't done by previous presidents. He was just lucky enough to be in office during the collapse.

>>1808739

Alright, Nixon was okay.

He did not. The person who started that was McKinley. You think what Ike did in Guatemala was bad? Look at the shit fucking Wilson did to Nicaragua and Cuba.

inflation rate showed its usually averaging out during the years before carter, carter came into office, it spiked up. some sources even claim that it reached 16% (one of the highest in america's history)

not to mention how interests rates was also set at 22% which further prevented people from actually spending money into the economy.
heck he had a 16.23% on his misery index.

He cancelled a lot of high profile military procurement decisions, particularly the B-1A. However, in retrospect, the Soviet Union was going to collapse in a few years anyway, so having a few less bombers literally didn't matter.

His expansionism helped expand the institution of slavery. If Clay had been elected, there would have most likely been gradual compensated emancipation. But with Polk, a civil war was all but guaranteed. Because of his decisions it wasn't a matter of if, but when

>>1808803
essentially, it was not a good four years to be an american, NATO hated us, we showed weakness by carter's poor handling of afganistan, economy was poor awashed with run away inflation even when interests rates was set at 22% (which would suggests that the government as trying to print money without effectively insuring value in it), and unemployment rose. It is no wonder why carter losts in a landslide against reagan.

All these are directly linked to Dick Cheney, mostly because he pushed policy that enabled the CIA and other intelligence agencies to have the power to act under complete discretion from the public offices. the result of which of course created all the items on your list. Obama jus sort of inherited this shit storm, and because even he was kept in the dark to the exact maneuvers of the various intelligence agencies he can not be justifiably held responsible.

>>1805998
No, everything that is happening in the middle east has a very long history that reaches back to the Iran-Contra debacle when U.S intelligence agencies received massive budget increases and policies that enabled them to act in complete secrecy. The Middle East has been unstable since the end of WW1.

Are you suggesting that a president's economic policies don't have any impact beyond their time in office? You can't really evaluate any President's economic influence without looking at what the economy was like during the next President's first term.

>For tomorrow, new cities must be developed—and smaller cities with room to grow, expanded—to house and serve another 100 million Americans by the turn of the century. The need is critical. Millions of our people are suffering cruelly from expanding metropolitan blight—congestion, crime, polluted air and water, poor housing, inadequate educational, economic and recreational opportunities. This continuing decay of urban centers—the deepening misery and limited opportunity of citizens living there—is intolerable in America. We promise effective, sustainable action enlisting new energies by the private sector and by governments at all levels.

Biden would have been good, but his son dying of cancer screwed that up.
Jerry Brown's done a great job in Cali, although he's a bit old.
O'Malley's boring but not as many people hate him.
Evan Bayh was a coin-toss away from being VP.
People like to say Castro, but I lived in SA during his term as mayor and a job like that is not nearly enough experience for president, and neither is HUD. All of these candidates have flaws, but none nearly as deep as HRC's sketchy history.

The President does not have that much executive power over the Department of State, and much less so over its subsidiary agencies, He is on a need to know basis of sorts. He is not in control of them, the Vice president has more power than he does. Don't blame the president for what his administration does with out his knolwdge.

>http://www.breitbart.com/california/2016/01/20/californians-optimistic-about-gov-brown-and-states-future/

>Since being re-elected after a 30-year hiatus, the Field Poll reveals that Brown has never had a month in his latest 6 years in office that his disapproval rating exceeded his approval rating.

>Most politicians see their support wither as they become a political “lame duck.” But the last twelve months have been the most positive for Brown, who averages 56 percent approval to just 30 percent disapproval.

>California voters were extremely concerned with the plight of the state when Brown was inaugurated in January 2010. Only 13 percent of California voters, the worst in 60 years of Field polling, thought the state was headed in the right direction. The state was facing an $11.2 billion budget deficit, had been furloughing workers, and the state’s unfunded pension liability was over $400 billion.

>Voters seem to appreciate Brown’s response. He raised taxes like a Democrat, but also played hardball with public employee demands like a Republican. Six years later, California’s credit rating has been twice upgraded by Moody’s Investor Services to a strong Aa3 and Brown is building a “rainy-day fund” budget reserve.
