Nixon did win re-election even while watergate was gearing up, the war in Viet Nam was still on, and he was moving leftward on domestic policies. But then again- his opponent was George McGovern! Let's hope Howard Dean gets the nomination for the Dems.

Hey, Nixon had a second term. They aren't the same.

If Rush said that, he should shut up. I can't think of any (ugh) Democrat I'd like better. Gee, In some ways Rush helped derail the first President Bush's campaign, and we ended up with (puking sound) Clinton.

Rush has been wrong about Bush before. Seems I remember an on air apology after the last season of complaints he had before the election.

President Bush would never cover up criminal activity. Bush Sr. did not take out Saddam, Bush Jr. did. Bush Sr. did not read his Bible everyday, Bush Jr. does. Bush Sr. raised taxes, Bush Jr. cut taxes. Rush ain't always right.

Agreed. I love Rush, but his anti-Bush stuff is stupid. Does he seriously think a Dem would be better?

Being a Republican does not make one a conservative. GW is an OK enough guy, but he rates only a 50/50 chance of re-election.

Economy, growth of government, elusive WMD, unemployment, foreign entanglements etc. are still unresolved issues.

I was around during Nixon's time. I see no comparison between Bush and Nixon. Bush is a much more straightforward and honest person than Nixon ever was. Nixon never had so many people of unswerving conservatism around him. True, Bush has shown a disturbing tendency to embrace a few big government concepts. But Nixon never gave us tax cuts, he imposed wage and price controls, he clinked glasses with Mao -- he was never considered by the Right of his day to be really one of its own. Yes, Bush has shown a tendency to not focus on smaller government, but he does so many other things right and unlike Nixon really does believe in the basic precepts of Conservatism. Nixon, who had some undoubted strengths and was truly anti-Communist, was nevertheless a dishonest man who was not at peace with who he was. Bush is a man of deep faith who is almost incapable of lying like Nixon. People used to criticize Reagan for not being 100 percent pure either. With time we forget these things.
