Having lived thru Watergate (and surviving)there was no need to read or hear about it by watching the flic. The entire age of Nixon was filled with anti-Nixon and government in general. The V.N. war, Watergate day after day. It was at this time, being so fed up I was pro-democrat for a time. That soon passed, after all Carter was soon to follow. The MFM pushing their own agenda is to be seen as a reality for years. Nixon lied to the American people, which was his largest faux pas found at the time. The fact that being pulled into the corral by a con man was disturbing and all in all, not an experience to be pleasantly remembered. Having grown up in a house basically empty of political discussion, a novice walking down an unfamiliar road. Years later, my mother told me ‘All politicians are alike, one as bad as the other’ This happened to be during the time of the eternal re-count in the state of Florida. At the time, I tended to agree with her but felt the Rs to be the lesser of the two evils but government in general consistently treading where they had no place to tread and attempting to rule and ruin our lives.
The irony is that the FBI was all-powerful in Nixon’s time. Today, they can’t even recommend a huge national security breach be indicted.
