In 1974 I was so busy having babies and trying to put 2 cents together that I barely remember politics. My husband had returned from Nam in 1971 and he couldn't find steady employment until the summer of 76 when GM was hiring ONLY vets. So I'm ashamed of the fact that I don't remember much of that time.

I do remember something of that time. The shame of that era was how HORRIBLY this country treated its veterans who served in Vietnam. YOU were having children, trying to make ends meet and welcoming home a vet husband. You are the LAST person who should feel any shame over that era.

My dad told me that President Nixon did nothing wrong except protect his friends. Dad said he was just a very loyal friend.

That's what my father always thought also. What finished Nixon was the disclosure that he ordered the CIA to block the FBI investigation of Watergate six days after the break-in. That was indefensible, and when that came out he was forced to resign or he could well have been convicted in the Senate.

Makes Nixon look like a saint compared to the modern-day Democrats.
