Ted Cruz just compared Obama to Richard Nixon

____________________________________

Another Lying Headline.

At least what is printed in the excerpt. Cruz is comparing the LACK of democratic honesty against B. Hussein in comparison to the Repub honesty Nixon did have.

[Responsibility2nd]

Mugabe just called and demanded an apology.

Yeah, he served honorably in the Navy, legal field, House, Senate, Vice Presidency and Presidency with a few exceptions. Probably one of the best Vice Presidents/Acting Presidents in American history, actually.

[AdaGray]

This should cause some Rat-heads to explode.

Newsmax anchor John Bachman pointed out to Cruz that Democratic senators today would likely say Obama's controversies are not on the same scale as Watergate...

And from the article:

"Perhaps," Cruz responded.

Cruz then quickly shifted the discussion to the Obama's administration's IRS controversy, in which conservative-leaning groups were subjected to more tax scrutiny.

"But the point is when the IRS targeted citizens' groups for their political views, Democrats circled ranks around the president," Cruz said. "To be honest, Nixon tried to use the IRS to target his political enemies; President Obama's administration succeeded."

"Newsmax anchor John Bachman pointed out to Cruz that Democratic senators today would likely say Obama's controversies are not on the same scale as Watergate, which featured a massive White House cover-up and a burglary at the Democratic Party's national headquarters."

No. Obama's controversies and scandals are 100x worse than Nixon's Watergate. People have DIED because of Obama's negligence (Benghazi comes to mind).

Nixon for all his faults had at least two things Lord Foul lacks, Intelligence and Love for America.

[Lakeshark]

Absolutely. He's moving the debate, the spineless RINOs are going to have to deal with this as well.

He's doing an awesome thing here.

I’d much rather Richard Nixon occupy the White House right this minute than Mr. Obama, Secretary Clinton, Gov. Bush or Sen. Graham, wouldn’t you?

[fieldmarshaldj]

Nixon didn’t hate America as Zero does.

[NorthMountain]

Nixon was an honest crook. Soetoro is an enemy agent.

Yeah, I’d rather have Nixon.

No doubt about it.

[headstamp 2]

Nixon was a piker compared to this Peronista.

[Iron Munro]

Not fair to Nixon.

Nixon loved America and his transgressions were miniscule compared to Obama’s.

[newfreep]

Watergate was a John Dean operation to recover a “Black Book” of prostitutes the DNC used for entertaining. One name in that book was Dean’s future wife.

Eventually, Dean turned on Nixon and fingered him for the break-in.

Regardless, Watergate was child’s play compared to Comrade/Imam obamatollah’s destruction of the Constitution.

[2ndDivisionVet]

President Nixon was maybe 5% the “crook” that his two predecessors were.

[Awgie]

Please Ted continue to bring it...as only you can!

[2ndDivisionVet]

Many think that President Nixon had the highest IQ of any president in US history.

[samtheman]

Of course Obola’s abuse of power is not of the same scale as Nixon. No one is saying or claiming that. Obola’s abuse is 100x worse. In addition, no one has ever said Nixon did not love America either.

You are right. Nixon was guilty of poor judgement, not just in Watergate but in Wage and Price Controls (although I read that basically he was calling the democraps bluff on that one, not so sure). But he was most definitely a patriot.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

"We've had presents in the past who have abused power.

You mean like birthday and Christmas presents?

[2ndDivisionVet]

If my name was Colin Campbell, I’d answer that. But it’s not.
