However, a True Believer should keep our minds on those things of days gone by.

Johnson lied, Nixon lied, can't think of any big ones of Ford or Carter, but Reagan was a master at it, Bush the First did just fine, and Clinton lied.

And NONE OF IT WAS EXCUSEABLE.

Don't think we would have gone to the Moon when we did if Nixon had been elected. We might have, but I don't believe he had the interest or vision.

We probably would have had WWIII over Cuba instead of Apollo.
