Liddy claims that the original reason was a scheme by Johnny Dean to shield connection between his wife and a call girl ring run by the Dem's and the purposes just grew. Once launched, and later discovered trying to hide the various activietes, Nixon then helped produce a broad enough coverup to protect his people.

Now, despite having lived through it, it hasn't been a item I have stayed with investigating in depth. Nixon, while extremely gifted, was a pragmatist and opportunist in the policies he promoted. I am much more inspired by people that lay down principles upon which they will act and base their service upon. McCain is much like Dick.

McCain ... wasn't he P.O.W. during Jane Fonda's treasonous activity with N. Vietnam? I don't believe he has as much integrity as Nixon ... and I don't attribute too much to Tricky Dick. Sad really, what with all the accomplishments of Nixon's terms and the left has succeeded in stamping only Watergate as his legacy, conveniently ignoring the degeneracy of clinton, Kennedy (the entire family, actually), Johnson, and FDR.
