Opinion of Lyndon B. Johnson

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

LBJ did a lot of great things, leaving beyond a legacy that endures up to this day. On the other hand, beside Vietnam, he was quite literally a horrible person.

Yet I voted FF based on his positive impact, which outweights his mistakes and personal shortcomings.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

One of the best Presidents in US history, no matter what the haters say.

That he was responsible for the deaths of millions of civilians and soldiers on both sides?  That somehow is trivial enough to label those who use it as a reason to vote "HP" as "haters?" 

The number of lives he destroyed far outnumbered the (vast) good that he did domestically.  It doesn't even come close.

His domestic policy has saved more lives (and will continue to in the future) than Vietnam destroyed.

While horrible, Vietnam is, fortunatelly, a thing of the past. LBJ's legacy on civil rights, health care (freaking Medicare and Medicain, guys, how liberal posters possibly disregard this) and anti-poverty measures lives on.
