Georgia Girl 2 said: "Nixon’s crime of letting some of his guys sneak into DNC headquarters and spy on them was wrong and had he just admitted it early on and apologized he would never have been removed from office."

As I recall, 65 people were convicted of felonies in Watergate. I think it is truly naive to think that the laundered money was only used once, to obstruct justice in the Watergate burglary. One need not praise Nixon in order to point out the failings of Obama.

Given that Nixon was impeached and forced to resign based on what was known from the tapes, one can only imagine the seriousness of whatever motivated Nixon to erase 18 minutes.

Again you cannot equate Nixon to Obama. What Nixon did was wrong but its like stealing apples vs. murder.

I missed that. Clinton was impeached, but Senate rats rendered impeachment as a useful Constitutional tool.

Add to that their insults to common sense.

Add to that the dead, wounded and missing from Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, all courtesy of the rats doing everything they could to undermine and negate America's efforts overseas unless there was a rat in the White House. Rats hate this Constitutional republic, IMHO.

They'll be a civil war before there's another war overseas.

Nixon was not impeached. He resigned beforehand. He said he didn’t want to put the country through the impeachment process.

Clinton was impeached and could care less about the country.

Obama would stay if impeached to do as much damage as possible.

Nixon was not impeached. He probably would have been had he not resigned. I find this thread careening from comedy to farce. I knew the man and once worked for him.
