In all fairness, the MacNamara crowd was ejected by the voters in 1968. At least, his remarksout them indicates his feelings. 5. He was asked the direct question of how he voted in 1968. He said "if he had voted (which he did not) , he would have voted for Nixon." His main purpose at present is to get us out of Vietnam (this is not in conflict with the President's actions) . ”
