Goldwater wins in an epic landslide, a proof of how much America has regressed since then.

lol. LBJ would still win all the Gore/Kerry states. Obama did run on many of LBJ's polciies after all, and most Americans like their Medicare and Medicaid, which Goldwater opposed.

I thought you hated Goldwater since you are a non-interventionist.

Obama's policies are to the right of Nixon's. They don't even come close to LBJ's.

No you're wrong.

How so ? Obama's health care plan is way less ambitious and more market friendly than Nixon's.

In addition, the upper marginal income tax rate was 70-77% under LBJ and Nixon, but Obama only wants to make it 40%.

Do remember that Richard Nixon had a Congress which was controlled by the Democrats, who he pretty much let do whatever they wanted on domestic issues, as well as he didn't really give a shit about domestic policy because he wanted to be a foreign policy President. He also supported transferring authority of Great Society programs to the states.

Which means absolutely nothing.


It means Obama is more right-wing than Nixon and LBJ, at least on economic policy.
