On January 20, 1961, Richard Nixon retired from public life. After losing a painfully close race for the White House, the former vice president relocated his family to California—his home state and scene of so many early political triumphs, where he and his wife, Pat, now planned to build a handsome, four-bedroom ranch house in an exclusive subdivision in Bel Air.
For the first time in his life, Nixon was earning real money—roughly $3 million annually in today’s dollars—as a lawyer, syndicated columnist and book author. So it gnawed at his ego when the Los Angeles Times ran a sensational headline accusing him of receiving a “celebrity discount” on the purchase of the lot where he planned to raise his new home. “What’s wrong with what I did?” Nixon demanded of Frank McCulloch, the editor of the Times. He wasn’t an officeholder anymore. His personal financial affairs were no one’s business....

It’s a leftist freakshow ...
*smiles*...here is a quote to think about..
Basically, the start of my thinking process is:
‘OK,
if you didn’t have to worry about re-election,
what would you be doing?’ That’s kind of how I’m starting to think.

As Secretary of State, her most notable accomplishments were lying about the Benghazi 9/11 and traveling a lot.
It's funny, Barak Obama also ridiculed Petraeus' surge. Both Obama and Clinton were proven wrong about the surge. The last laugh was on them though. Kinda-makes-ya-think about Sen. Chuck Schumer's threat to Trump...
Not yet, but when she does I am sure she will say their vote came up short.
Nixon didn’t sell American classified technology by shifting such sales from DOD to State department. Nor did Nixon sell the Lincoln Bedroom. And never did he shake down the world in pay to play access scams.
The oh so sweet irony is that the comparison alone is enough to get her to show us more of what we hate in her.
Nixon did not occupy the White House for fun and profit.
Why do some people love her? What has she done?
Actually, her gender did play a role: she misunderstood the concept of feminism, which has something to do with achievement, and instead used her marital status and gender to get ahead by strictly political and even criminal methods.
This is the great danger of political correctness. If we elect someone because of their racial or gender status, we are not getting the most qualified person.
The character of HRC is maligned as being honest, true and lovable.
Well. . . she does have that great braying donkey laugh that ends in paroxysms of coughing? And she does great imitation Southern accents?
Nixon was a patriot.
>Nixon was a patriot.
And a good man who cared about this country. Hillery is neither.
Seems to me President Trump is the most maligned president in history.
With every breath I draw
I remember Whitewater,the FBI file
scandal,your pompous Health Care Plan,
your role in hiding Bubba’s misdeeds
with interns and government employees,
the vast right wing conspiracy, Vince
Foster, The Benghazi epic fail, Ambassador
Stevens, Libyan Blunder, private servers
missing emails, and the list goes on and on,
How do I love thee?
You were the only candidate Donald Trump could beat!
And God Bless you for that.
I remember it like yesterday. Hillary’s healthcare bill failed miserably. That night, porcelain items were being hurled about the President’s residence. Within the next few weeks, Hillary’s husband, the President, obtained FBI files on all those in Congress(both houses), who sabotaged her healthcare bill. A few years later, she became a US Senator and used that information to become more powerful than any Senator should ever become. Aside from her Bimbo battles, the FBI files on Congressmen, puts her in a class all by herself. She turned the honorary position of First Lady into a weapon, and has used that power along with First Lady kid-glove treatment from everyone for the last 19 years. Last November’s election was the first real slap in the face she’s been humiliated with in that entire time. She even turned losing to Obama into profitable crime machine for herself.
Not one mention of the “deplorables and irredeemables”... out of touch liberal professor.
Nixon was the first president I voted for. Would do it all over again in a heartbeat.
On her list of 39 reasons for her loss I haven’t seen “evangelicals” yet. She’s slipping; that’s an easy one.
