Yes. That is why you hear the liberal press still gloating about their success with creating the Watergate scandal. The libs were in their glory. It got rid of Nixon, allowed the advancement of their beloved communism in Southeast Asia, and, among other things, it eventually brought in the likes of their golden boy, Jimmy Carter who, in actuality, was - and is - a disaster for this country, not to mention Iran.
You might say it had a rippling effect, and not for the betterment of mankind. Don't forget that millions were slaughtered in SE Asia after the democrat congress pulled us out. And just look at what we are dealing with in Iran today because of Carter.
Carter wasn't their golden boy. He was their Anyone-but-a-Republican. They turned on him when the country ran into economic problems.
