>Mr. Nixon was NOT “dishonest” !

He was indeed dishonest. He used to stage propaganda events for the press like paying protestors to go after him and Nixon jumping on the car giving the V sign.

>Neither was he a “crook” and he had NOTHING at all to do with WATERGATE, which was NOT about getting Dem files. It was the coverup which did him in and it was a decades long WAR against him, that was really about the fact that he was an anti-Commie and his determined work to expose Commies and PINKOS in our government.

I totally agree with you, he’s not crook and he wasn’t at fault for watergate. Nixon’s screw up was fix everything in Washington at the same time. Even the military was trying to get rid of Nixon. For all his good intentions he wasn’t smart about how he went about it.

>Presidents as far back as FDR, taped/recorded conversations! JFK and LBJ did it too! If you’re interested in this, read “IT DIDN’T START WITH WATERGATE”.

I know. They’ve all been much worse than Nixon. That doesn’t mean Nixon was a great man.

How old were you when Mr. Nixon ran for the Senate?

How old were you in 1968?

As someone who was an adult in '68 and witnessed, FIRST HAND, the rise of SDS, the Weather Underground, the for real blood in the street, Abbey Hoffman and others TRAINING ( what to scream, how to throw bags of human waste at police, so that they would break open upon contact) the idiots/troops, on the Sheep's Meadow in Central Park, read the EVO ( The East Village Other and a few other such subversive lefty papers and magazines to know what the enemy was doing and planning ), throw in the old "BAN THE BOMB" lefties, the RED DIAPER BABIES' Commie parents, and various stupid children who thought that protesting was "fun" and THAT is who protested President Nixon!

He NEVER paid the protestors; he didn't have to.

What's next, you're going to tell me that he paid the protesters, in South America, who hurled rocks and veggies at him, when he was Ike's VEEP, for "PUBLICITY" ?

He didn't "screw everything up", the whole military thing was via the N.Y. Times articles about the new uniforms he wanted worn by the military at the White House, which was nick named "THE IMPERIAL GUARD" by the lefties and that never came into fruition!

I never claimed that he was "GREAT", but he was a GOOD president!

I would bet that Nixon and Cruz are with 10 IQ points of each other. Many of Cruz’s professors, including Alan Dersowitz, describe Cruz as brilliant.

But there's a BIG difference between the "TRICKY DICK" nick name and "LYIN' TED"! The latter is true

Why is it true? Because the Great God Trump uttered it?

Because the "TRICKY DICK" thing was given to him by stinking COMMIES, who didn't like that he was an anti-Commie and had beaten Helen Gahagen Douglas. Really, FACTUAL HISTORY ID NOT YOUR ENEMY and you should learn some !

Lyin' Ted was given to Teddy because he IS a liar; one who lies by both omission and commission alike.

He LIED to Texans about where he was born and his Canadian Citizenship!

He LIED to Teaxans that he and heidi were liquidating all of their assets to self fund his Senatorial race; he did no such thing !

He lied to the FEC, by omitting his loans.

He lied to the nation about his TPA vote/support of it.

He and his team have lied about Carson having left the race, in Iowa, by sending out that "YOU HAVEN'T VOTED" thing AND by sending out something that looked like one had gotten a check, all over the nation ( I got one ), which is ILLEGAL in many different states, and he has lied about being an "OUTSIDER", which he has NEVER been. There's more, but that should suffice!

And FYI....unlike Teddy, his father and CRAZY Glenn Beck, neither Trump, his team, nor his supporters have NEVER claimed that he was "anointed by GOD", "the face of GOD", and n obody has EVER claimed that he is "GOD"!

I was not talking about the Nixon part of your comment. I was talking about the Cruz part.

I agree with you about Nixon and I've heard that JFK contributed to Nixon in his campaign against Helen Gahagan Douglas.

She was a theater actress who was married to actor Melvin Douglas (she made one movie - the 1935 version of "She").

Getting back to Trump, some folks have compared him to Jesus.

It was Joe Kennedy who supported Nixon in his California Senate race, with donations. Nixon and JFK were actually good friends and severed together on the same anti-Commie committee under Roy Cohen.

Back then, almost all Americans, including pols, no matter their party affiliation were anti-Commies/Marxists and Pro-America.

Al,l true re Helen Gahagen Douglas and I have known about this for a very long time, but am glad that you posted it. I too have posted that info, many times over. Melvin Douglas was also a damned PINKO, but his wife was far worse; she was more of a FELLOW TRAVELER.

I've seen many Cruz supporters comparing him to GOD and to the Christ, but NEVER a Trumpster say that about The Donald. *shrugs*

Hardly. An awful lot of us, myself included, backing Cruz, do so reluctantly and solely on the basis of ideas.
