No, quite the opposite. Lyndon Johnson stepped out of the race for a second term for the good of his party and the country. He realized how divided the nation was over the war in Vietnam, and he didn't want to make it worse. Lyndon Johnson also was one of the greatest promoters of civil rights and equal rights. He signed the Voting Rights Act and Civil Rights Act, he didn't seek constitutional amendments to limit the rights of citizens, he always tried to expand them. Johnson started the war on poverty, not the war on terror. The theme for Johnson's administration was "the Great Society" not the "House Divided"

No, George W. Bush is not Lyndon Johnson despite the fact they are both from Texas.

Yes if you mean that both are failures.
Unfortunately LBJ's outstanding record on civil rights is forgotten because of Vietnam.
Because of Iraq, all the great things George Bush has done for corporations and the wealthiest Americans will also end up in history's dustpan.

4316 in what?.....6 years? 719/year 60/month 2/day 2 troops die on typical in line with day in Iraq?? Is that even a warfare?? Double those numbers to judge them to Vietnam considering that that warfare lasted about two times as lengthy. DO YOU GET MY aspect the following? They were both president for 5 years of warfare.

Johnson probably thought he was doing the right thing for the right reasons. In my opinion, I'm sure GW thought he was doing the right thing for reasons he could never rationalize to the American public, so he had the CIA bring him "a smoking gun".

Johnson was a consummate arm-twister; Bush is just a tantrum-thrower

It is SO disrespectful to Johnson, for ALL his misdeeds and failures, to mention Dictator Dumbya in the same sentence. Down with Dictator Dumbya!!!

They have a few things in common: Texas, Oil, and causing mayhem in distant lands.
