illegally aiding anti-government forces in Nicaragua Those trades werern't illegal. The Democrats charged it was against the Boland Ammendment, but the Boland Ammendment only said money from the U.S. treasury could not be used, it did not say about raising money elsewhere. The Democrats looked hard to find money that came from the U.S. treasury but couldn't, but they they charged them anyway hoping nobody would actually read the Boland Ammendment. Unfortunatly it worked with alot of people.
The Reagan admin raised private donations, and sold anti-tank missiles from Israel to Iran to repel the Iraqi invasion (conveniently supplied by USSR and FRANCE), We also were able to secure hostages in Lebanon, and with the money raised we financed the Contra's and enabled them to win their democratic freedom in Nicaragua. A win-win-win situation.
Democratic scandals including offing your political opponents and giving U.S. technology to our enemies, Repubican scandals are trying to defend this county!

It's just interesting. What if Congress passed a law that says the President must stay in the White House at all times. It's a law isn't it? So therefore the President must abide by it exactly. That's the conflict that arises between the slow and stupid Congress and the quick and informed (depending on who it is) administration.

Of course he was strange to Nixon. Nixon couldn't get elected Gov. of CA, but Reagan could. He must be strange.

Nixon switched the conversation to two Republican governors, Reagan of California and Nelson Rockefeller of New York. Both men unsuccessfully sought the 1968 Republican presidential nomination that Nixon received. Maybe my memory is going bad, but I can not recall RR runing for the nomination in 68. Reagan might have been a 'favorite son' for the California deligation, but I for the life of me do not remember his campaigning then. I recall Nixon, Rockey, Scranton of PA, and as always, Harold Stassen.

Translation:
In opposition to an unconstitutional usurpation of powers by the US Congress --- which illegally constrained the President of the United States from assisting freedom fighters battling for survival against a ruthless communist dictatorship --- Reagan gave them needed assistance. In the process, he thwarted the spread of communism throughout Central America. (Just to keep the record straight.)The Fascist/Socialist/Leftist Elites in the media and Hollywood will never forgive him for stopping the 'spread of communism' that was well underway throughout South America.Thanks for phrasing that so succinctly.

NIXON calle REAGAN STRANGE?????
HAHAHHHHHAHHHHAHHHAHHHAHHHHHAHHHHAAAAAAHHAA!!!
I can't stop laughing.
Nixon, the man who talked to portraits, eliminated the draft, lowered the voting age, originated affirmative action, and recognized Red China, called one of the greatest Americans in recent history STRANGE????
How absurd. It demonstrates even further Nixon's lack of touch with reality. He was one of the BAD Republicans.

This is from 1972, i.e., way past being based on just one initial impression.

Excellent analysis. Dick was the weird guy. Reagan is considered even by those who disagreed with him politically to be a great, affable guy. Dick was weird and the Left is now trying to use Dick (a guy they despised) to take more shots at Reagan. Unbelievable.

No Skypilot's post is right on target. Basically it has to do with NIXON, of all people, calling someone else strange. So it's like Britney calling Christina a slut and an airhead--but Christina CAN sing.

The real comedy will be if a liberal tries to use something Nixon said as a means to bash Reagan. They've done this before "Even Richard Nixon saw that...". Can't discount 99% of what someone says and claim that other 1% is where they must have been "correct".
JFK had extensive taping systems in the White House, in another 10 years we "may" be priviledged enough to hear them. LBJ had tapes made during the White House too (and they don't flatter him, they reference all sorts of shady business practices).

Pardon my French, but so what? As you pointed out, Nixon was a loner---if he were alive today, he'd be diagnosed as having "social anxiety disorder" and prescribed Zoloft.
Besides, a person's public persona is so often different from his or her private one that we really have no idea what the basis for Nixon's judgment was.
Maybe Nixon didn't curl Reagan's toes either---in fact, we know that Reagan had political differences with Nixon over things like China, and that could have colored Nixon's opinion of Reagan.

...eliminated the draft, lowered the voting age...
It had to be one or the other, at least with respect to draftees 18-20.
