He rode his dead brother's coattails into a Senate seat then opposed the war in Vietnam. Big whoop! So did everyone else by then--those who had any sense anway. He didn't even consider running for President until McCarthy broke with LBJ on the war and won New Hampshire.
So tell me, WHAT did he actually DO?

I don't care what he did. I care more about what he never had a chance to do and what Nixon did instead.

Well... what did Nixon do that was so bad?
Besides obstruction of justice and abuse of power, I mean.

Solid response, Tel.
But better watch those first person singular pronouns - -you'll get your writing wrist slapped by Mr. Perfect.

What did Nixon do?
TREASON: He scuttled the peace talks prior to the election at the same time he was lying to the public about ending the war, as confirmed by both LBJ's "X file" and Haldeman's notes.

WAR ON DRUGS:
(excerpt from 1994 interview with John Ehrlichman:)
“You want to know what this was really all about?” he asked with the bluntness of a man who, after public disgrace and a stretch in federal prison, had little left to protect. “The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”
