[A Jovial Cad]

"absolutely nothing"? Wow...how old are you? Seems the liberals disagreed with you about Nixon being a "RINO"--they hated him with a passion.
Actually, as much as I admired and loved Ronald Reagan, he only completed the task Nixon started. By dividing the two powerhouses of the communist world against each other (China & Russia), he started the Soviet Union down the road to eventual bankruptcy. By the time Nixon left office there were more Russian troops stationed along the Manchurian/Chinese border than there were in Western Europe aligned against NATO. Nixon also saved Israel during the Yom Kippur war by making it clear (he put the country on a nuclear alert) that if the Soviet Union intervened there would be war. The concept of "federalism"--returning power and money to the states instead of centralizing it in Washington--started with the Nixon administration; as did the privatization of the Postal System. On and on and on I could go, but don't let me interrupt your "RINO" fantasies regarding Nixon...
