Nixon WAS a crook; it was about power AND money for him.

How old are you? What did Nixon do that other presidents didn't do? Did he die rich? Did he ever use power like Johnson or Clinton?

I find it hard that somebody who knows ANYTHING at all about Watergate...

Watergate was blown out of all proportions, just like how to spell 'potato' was. Look what was done to Gingrich and Starr. They were all reduces to 'despicables'.

Sad you don't see the Democrat stategy and are so nieve.

I'll say it again, Nixon was one of the best presidents ever. If you want I'll give you the reasons, they are numerous.

Howlin, you must be one gullible guy. How long will it take for you to turn on Bush?

A few of Nixon's greatest hits, since you seem to have selective amnesia:

Burglary
Breaking and entering
Bribery
Extortion
Phone-tapping
Conspiracy
Cover-ups
Obstruction of justice
Destruction of evidence
Tax fraud
Illegal use of government agencies (FBI, CIA, and the IRS)
Illegal campaign contributions
Defying Congress and a sitting District judge
Defying
"Dirty tricks"
"Slush funds"

and, oh, yeah:

one presidential resignation

one vice-presidential resignation

40 government officials indicted or jailed

H.R. Haldeman & John Erlichman (White House staff) resigned 30 April 1973, subsequently jailed

John Dean (White House legal counsel) sacked 30 April 1973, subsequently jailed

John Mitchell, Attorney-General and Chairman of the Committee to Re-elect the President (CREEP) jailed

Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy (ex-White House staff), planned the Watergate break-in, both jailed

Charles Colson, special counsel to the President jailed

James McCord (Security Director of CREEP) jailed

Now, that might look blown out of proportion to you, but most rational people who lived through that time got it and understood that, for the sake of this country, Richard M. Nixon HAD to go, one way or the other.

The only gullible person here is you; there is no comparison betwee what Richard Nixon did and what Newt Gingrich and Ken Starr did. In case you still don't get it, Nixon WAS guilty of riding atop the most crime-ridden administration in this country's lifetime.

And, yes, Richard Nixon DID die rich.
