>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 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!
