I voted for Nixon twice and, to this day, don't give a damn about Watergate.
But, that said, when I look back at the Nixon years now and see how liberal his policies were and how liberal the country had become by the seventies, I'm amazed.

Nixon also came up with revenue sharing, a truly hideous idea.

Foreign policy good? When Nixon made his deal to end the Vietanamese war in 1973, he did it on the same terms which were available to him in 1969. Meanwhile, tens of thousand of Americans died in the interim.
