Can I assume you are one of the Hillary voters on here from your comments? Comparing Nixon and LBJ -- not even close. Nixon covered for his staff because he was loyal to people around him -- LBJ was involved in every detail of bugging the Goldwater campaign and dirty tricks and that doesn't even include his micromanaging the the war in Vietnam.

Watergate was a 3rd rate burglarly at best -- LBJ bugged everything in the Goldwater campaign not to mention stealing ballot boxes in Texas in his first campaign for Senate.

Again, I am going on old memory, but IIRC, the watergate burglary was attempted because they thought the democrat national campaign was guilty of treason and they were trying to catch them red handed, (no pun intended).

Of course they were probably trying to catch them for political purposes rather than national security.

"Can I assume you are one of the Hillary voters on here from your comments?" Not exactly sure how you came up with that. I have not and never will vote for Hillary. Or even consider voting for her. I despise her. It really doesn't matter which one is worse -- Nixon or LBJ. In fact, I'll agree LBJ was much, much worse because he was. What Nixon did was still illegal and if he hadn't quit he would have been impeached and convicted. Call it loyalty as somebody else did, but that doesn't make it right. I'm absolutely flabbergasted by the number of Freepers defending Nixon by pointing out Democrats who are worse.≥ That's a tactic I expect to see from liberals.
