Nixon had no one in his corner anywhere. He had Walter Cronkite on television yapping about the impending McGovern victory every single night. People believed those media hacks back then. They never reported a single good thing about Vietnam. There was no conservative media to rebut anything, none. All we heard was what the left wanted us to hear. Not so today.
Nixon had a Democratic Congress of almost two to one strength. He was more vilified than Bush has ever dreamed about being. So was Reagan.
I understand all you Bush worshipers want your own thread to kneel and cry. Fine. But stick to the facts. I was there. Bush has it great compared to Nixon and Reagan, if nothing else but by virtue of this website's existence. There was nothing and nowhere of this nature for people to come together and support the president.
And the converse is true as well. There has never been an opportunity for people who hate the President to come together either. This President has endured hatred well beyond anything Nixon or Reagan had to endure. It isn't even close with Reagan.
And if you think this forum supports him, you haven't been paying attention. The OWNER of the forum does, because he is wise, but there is as much vitriol and hatred of this President right here as there is on the left. The only difference is that the rules of the forum prevent the haters from being obscene and screaming for impeachment, and they get banned when they go over the line here.
Other than the outward controls of the decent people who run this Free Republic, the hate from some here is as bad as it is anywhere.
This article is spot on. The President hasn't changed. Those who have turned against him with a vengeance have.
