Thank you SO much; your opinions are always appreciated by me. :-)

President Nixon was hounded, by the AMERICAN COMMIES, FELLOW TRAVELERS, and PINKOS, from the time he was battling and beat Helen Gahagen Douglas for the Senate seat from California. They were unrelenting! And it was the CHECKERS SPEECH, when he said "I AM NOT A CROOK", while he was VEEP, which nobody seems to know now and claim that he said during WATERGATE, which he did NOT!

He said that, because he was being tarred with accepting expensive gifts, which unlike almost ALL pols, at that time did. In that speech, he said that all he had accepted was a puppy, named CHECKERS. I believed him when he said it and still do!

Yes, Teddy is the complete antithesis of Reagan and Nixon, whom he claims to be like, FALSELY!

I had all the Ike and Dick buttons. When Chet & David's men climbed the ladders to change the numbers to reflect Cook County graveyards eking out a win for JFK, I began my political education.

Ted Cruz laid back and hid in Donald Trump's shadow. Trump cleared the brush--and the Bush.

When there were two, Ted Cruz revealed himself to be in short pants on the school playground. His PAC attacked Melania--and like Eddie Haskell, he proved he can dish it out but can't take it.

We were in the Nixon library in '98. There's a section of the Berlin Wall, and lifelike sculptures of the world leaders Nixon engaged.

There will never be a Cruz library--perhaps some rimshots on South Park.

Now we are engaged in a contest to determine whether America continues as a Constitutional Republic or a Saudi colony.

There are only two choices, Ted--and you ain't one of 'em.

Let divine providence continue to preserve the Republic.

Karma will match every man with his consequence.

Thanks for the additional comments. I had not known the “I am not a crook came from the Checkers speech.

It’s always a pleasure to talk to folks who get it.

Take care.
