i think the boys on the hudson got him. they as well as others never wanted america out of southeast asia. it took more than one term but he pulled us out. just as today the war mongrels drive to the white house and brief the president on the top threats to the nation. men who believe that secrets and weapons keep a country safe.the war mentality grows and kills all civil society. we are experts at war.peace is the hard work. i never did buy that break in story about nixon. who would care
Nixon was not a great president. Not solely due to Watergate but mainly because of the Cambodian massacres. He, along with Kissinger, are war criminals so I can't believe there so much support for him on this board!
I have a queation to ask to all of you fellow Americans, HAVE YOU EVER EVER IN YOUR LIFE SEEN A POLISH TERRORIST?? if NO - tell me why do we need to have visas to go to your Kingdom od America?
I'm a big time big Democrat...always voted Democrat , except for some local judges...Nixon was the best Republican president in the 20th century.
A peaceful man who listened to reason, looked for peaceful resolutions and froze gas prices in 1973 to keep the greedy oil companies from taking advantage.
Too much hostility from the Republicans now...no bi-partisanship whatsoever.
Nixon would be sickened by Sarah Palin who showed no humility when she resigned as governor and spoke longer !

Nixon could have been the most beloved figure of the latter half of the 20th century. He is still respected by many, but his endearing qualities were shattered by Watergate.
There is one of the best Leaders in the world. If you take out the controversy, which he didn't need to win, then he would've won, and maybe, just maybe, America would be a better place and it would still be one of the world's best countries and the presidents wouldn't be so stupid, because they wouldn't of voted for Bush(es) and we would still be great. God bless America.
hey TeganX7, that bushwacher spent this country into the debt were in now, he took office with a surplus and passed it all out to his friends, haliburton, Cheney and all them Huston Oil boys along with the pharma industry.
Nixion was a crook. They are all crooks. How can you tell if a politician is lying to you? if their lips are moving and you here sound.
He sold this country to China, YOUR friends, and makers of all the crap tou buy in Walmart.
N Vietnam said we would have won that war if it had not been for those at home (in the U.S.) who fought for us to lose it. Not a fan of Nixon cause I was about 13 when he took office. But I can tell you one thing, he was no Marxist commie rat like we have now. We need some one like Eisenhower right now (Google Illegal immigration and Eisenhower) to clean up this this mess. I feel sorry for the next generations that will be left with the massive burden of paying off the liberal debts .
@jackson5781 Get a grip on reality. Nixon, like every Republican since him, was a crook and a scumbag. Otherwise he wouldn't have needed to accept a pardon from President Ford! And if you really think Obama was not born in the US, you need to step back across to this side of the looking glass and get in touch with reality. Your comments reek of the tea partiers; perhaps too much tea has pickled your brain (unless you were just born stupid.)

i wouldnt call set up internation relations with China, or end Nam nothing. Just because you dont like the guy doesnt mean you can overlook the good things he did
@dduble07 Nixon lied from start to finish with regard to Viet Nam. It was the college students at the time that brought about the end of that war. And look at the result of his relations with China. He taught the Chinese about the power of capitalism and they learned the lesson so well, that they are about to surpass the US in economic power. If the Chinese called in all the US debt they own, it would break us. And apparently he taught them nothing about Democracy.
@stephen714a I got one ? for you are you a liberal democrat cause look up what a liberal democrat means. A.K.A. Gay democrat. I voted Democrat before I just look who I think is the best required to represent my nation its called and independent mind an independent view and an independent Iam. Thank you Double peace signs.

@stephen714a I feel sorry for you numb skull kids standing up for commies and Marxists.

@stephen714a It is not as black and white as you are making it ... if China called in their debts, there would be no one left for them to sell anything to and their economy would implode. Yes, the college kids did force him out, which did have to happen, but now we are stuck with senior citizens whose lives for the last 45 years have been based on entitlement because their generation has controlled the electorate.

watergate was nothing. they should have let Nixon finish his term. He was bad, sure, but he wasn't Satan. Now George W. Bush-that was a moment of pure hell in American history.

Why don't you try being president when your country and congress aren't for you, see how you like being called Satan, or the Anti-Christ.
Sorry, but if you study history and not just the cowboy action hero way George Bush tried to sound like and act like, you'll see he was extremely unqualified for the job, and not fit to be commander in chief. Bush has basically ruined America, and Obama has to try hard to restore it, even with some pig-headed Republicans who hate change trying to stand in the way.
@Theblizzardking We were not attacked by Afghanistan. We didn't need any troops there or Iraq and we don't need any troops there now. Now we have military in Pakistan, but we all know that anyone who disagrees with Barak Obama is of course every nasty word in the book. He is just as pro-war as the previous administration, but democrats will support everything he does just like the other party did with Bush. Country first not party first.
Typical liberal Democrap blindness and ignorance that is contributing to the downfall of what was once a great country. Cowboy? No one in America uses such a description these days...And how ironic that libs keep saying how unqualified Bush was when he was elected by a majority. TWICE. Maybe YOU should study history and learn that there were other presidents besides Bush and Obumma.
@inoitall999 "...Bush was ... elected by a majority. TWICE. Maybe YOU should study history..."
He was elected by a majority once. He was elected without a majority once. Maybe you should study history and learn how the Electoral College works before throwing around words like "typical... blindness and ignorance" so you don't continue to sound foolish.
@inoitall999 --whether Bush was elected twice by popular vote, or once by vote and the other by the Supreme Ct (funny how Bush seems to abhor lawyers and litigation)---he will go down in history as one of the most immature, shallow Presidents ever, as well as getting us into an unnecessary and expensive war in Iraq, wrecking the economy and contributing to the near bankruptcy of banks and other financial institutions. Nixon, by contrast, was brilliant in conducting foreign policy, at least.
We do need a president that's badass like Reagan, can have a cool enough scandal as Slick Willy, and who won't take no lip. Therefore, effective immediately, I nominate Clint Eastwood for president :)
This is what's great about the internet; you can look up this footage in a second. The problem with it is it's faceless and people make off the cuff remarks w/o thinking sometimes. Look at the spirit of this guys mind at work, it is a work of art.
Man I do love trolling. I mean, where else besides the internet can a dull-witted coward (based on the tough talk Mr. Cunnilingus) go out and try to get back at all the women who turned him down. The best part is, I just know you wouldn't have the stones to voice these lies/gross over generalizations in public due to fear of getting destroyed socially/physically. So resort to the tough talk on YouTube you coward.
Again, go run home to mommy, you're going to be late for school tomorrow!!!
Women do not "love to vote liberal". There are several factors contributing to a persons political ideology beyond sex, such as social status, marriage, education level, etc.
I'm glad you cling to Rush Limbaugh. Perhaps you can go listen to an actual intelligent conservative, not a talking head who is trying to make mountains out of mole hills on every single issue to piss you off.
But hey, congratulations on proving you are a sexist moron. I wonder what women embarrassed you in the past...
Wow. This is great stuff. If the measure of a great president is to have a legendary scandal during your term then we should include Clinton with those two.
As for you comment on "giving" the vote to women, I suggest you run along to mommy and ask for that hug she never gave you due to her deep regret for not going to the abortion clinic that warm spring day when she found out that she was going to give birth to a pure moron.
It's not 1963, sane Americans don't buy into Red-scares anymore.
Pretty much considering fort knox holds the united states main gold supplies and federal reserve banks hold the rest some even hold other countries for the purpose of an easy swap
I absolutely agree with Iam Nixon. Nixon reopened relatios with China. Signed ABM treaties (Anti-Ballistic Missile) with the Soviets. He got us out of Vietnam with dignity and our prisoners. So don't automatically associate Nixon with Watergate people.
Good point.... he just you know, secretly killed a few thousand innocent people in countless illegal bombings of Cambodia, letting the Khmer Rouge take over, and yes, Watergate. While he may not have been involved in the crime itself, lying blatantly to the public is NOT ACCEPTABLE from the president of the United States. But yeah, GREAT guy.
Nixon wasn't corrupt he was paranoid as hell and he thought that the Democrats were trying different ways to sabotage him so he sabotaged them first. The Committee to Re-elect the President was illegal as hell and so were the Plumbers, but he had no idea about Watergate when it happened. He tried to cover it up, thats what his problem was. Unfortunately this guy didn't know shit about technology so he didn't realize that every conversatio was recorded. He was a paranoid dummy.
to everyone who thinks that only republicans are corrupt, they are not....ALL of the presidents that we have had have been corrupt...including your precious obama...nixon just got caught. Obama, I believe, KNEW about AIG...how does he NOT know, HE IS THE PRESIDENT...its fishy to me
I agree with ya, Nixon was a good president. I hate it that whenever people think of Nixon they think Watergate. They completely ignore the things he accomplished during his presidency. He reopened relations with china. He got us out of Vietnam. Just to name a few examples. Nixon is awesome.
bush is a piece of shit i was not born wen nixon was in term but seems like a great president wich im doing a report on so thanx to u fags get of his dead nuts
Bush was one of the greatest presidents. How can you say something that is demeaning to the presidency. You need to respect the president no matter who he is.
seems like presidents back then werent such dumbasses..well except for Carter..and Bush may of havent been the best president...but (i know alot of u will disagree) it cant be that easy being president..and he had a pretty hard term with the 9/11...but really how would any of u ppl of reacted the day after? yes his 2nd term was not a major succes but he kept America safe and he has my respect
I meant it with all sincerity. I agree wholeheartedly with your comment. I am so sick and tired of people portraying Nixon and Bush as complete idiots who couldn't find their behinds with a map. Both are intelligent and did the best they could with the situations that were handed to them. Nixon- Vietnam and Bush- Osama Bin Laden. It's very refreshing to hear an intelligent comment that says that while Bush has made mistakes, he did the best he could to keep America safe. God bless him.
o ok im sorry for thinking you were sarcastic...but yes when people say bush was bad thats all they say, people are not that intellegent and always remember people for the bad and not the good they have done
I totally agree with you but alot of dumbasses in this whole are to stupid to know that the president doesn't even have as much power as they think he does. If anyone wants to really point a finger always point it at congress but it's way to easy to blame the president for every damn thing but by some comments you can always tell who gets it and who doesn't...
thanks i only call it as i see it..as of right now with the obama factor i fear for america but maybe jst maybe he can do some good but as of right now id think so
Carter had a B.S. in Nuclear Engineering and a M.S. in Nuclear Physics. You may not have liked him as a president or agreed with is politics, but to say he was a dumbass is simply untrue.
Carter was not dumb. He was unqualified to be president and knew nothing of wielding political power on the national level. He was so bad at it he set up the Reagan presidency very nicely.
@smonk76 Bush kept us safe? From what? Are you expecting the terrorists to nuke us? They don't even have modern weaponery. The most advance weapon they have is the roadside bomb! You're truly an idiot.
@Theblizzardking oh thats right i forgot..terrorists only use nukes..thats why 9-11 pearl harbor i forgot we got nuked...and i forgot about allys..you know back in 1960 when cuba didnt have any nukes but russia sent some over..man i cant believe they never thought of that...so why dont you shut the fuck up and dont message me back because its dumbasses like you who cause problems in the world..open a history book you might learn something
I was in high school when Dick N. was president. Refresh my memory, I remember this speech very well, but I do not remember any attack against our country at the time.
What is "back then?" At least people that grew up "back then" could spell and use proper grammar. To many of us from "back then", today's yahoos are a bunch of dumb asses; current POTUS included. At least you admit respect for the guy- most people living today have no knowledge of nor any interest in American history let alone knowing anything about old Tricky Dick. Carter is remembered as the "Do Nothing" president and there were two Bush presidents by the way.
Now if only Bush had taken this route years ago, maybe our country would not be in the state that it is i today! Think about it, Nixon might have turned out to be a incompetent crook but I have nothing for the utmost respect for the fact that he had the sense to realize that he had fucked up & resign. That is more than I can say for Bush!
He established relations with China, which has made for a more peaceful and prosperous world. Now Obama and his protectionist,isolationist, socialist allies will destroy these relations and destroy American freedom and prosperity forever.
Did you ever think that maybe protecting your own isn't a bad idea? No need to argue, we'll find out who's right in the months to come. I'll come back to this post. ;)
Hearing his voice just makes my skin crawl...blame every problem on nixon...he feeds off our sadness to run his A/C in hell. He's raped happiness in American politics. He's the reason happiness, trust, and change is sobbing in the corner holding a gun to her head. He gang raped her...now's she's too ashamed to show her face again...to demoralized and humilated; at least in American Politics. You killed happiness Nixon....you killed happiness.... I hope your keeping cool in Hell Dick...WTGGWTWGP
the whitehouse help said Nixon was very gracious to them, and solicitous of them and outgoing and friendly, whilst the Clinton's treated the help like slaves...Nixon here admits wrong decisions...our leaders today are just not even close to this level..
well he pretty much had no choice BUT to admit his wrong decisions. Watergate was too big of a scandal for the American public to overlook. no other president has been trapped in a corner like this.
Look...he never balanced the budget, he escalated Vietnam and never achieved withdrawal with dignity,his fiscal policy never benefitted the middle class or the poor, he breached his constitutional rights...all he has if foreign policy....shit, what about serving his country and respecting ALL it's citizens? He certainly didn't do that and he basically got thousands of GI's killed for years to come! Fuck Nixon!
Bill Clinton's impeachment saga was about a blow job. It was about a lie he told in a deposition regarding a personal indescretion that the REPUBLICAN judge threw out of court because she found it IRRELEVANT to the case for which it was submitted (Paula Jones), and then she wound up tossing out the Paula Jones case altogether, saying it was frivolous. Paula Jones, who claimed she only wanted an apology and not money then went on to spread her legs and advertise her vagina for Penthouse Magazine.
@thecrimsonfloyd Reagan and Clinton both got caught doing some decrepit stuff ... in Reagan's case, he was almost out of office and to popular for action to be taken. In Clinton's case, he was simply too popular for action to be taken. Nixon lacked the popularity, and lived in an era where there was a vocal minority willing to push against him while keeping this on the front page ... which pushed Congress to act. These days, people in the US tend not to care too much what their leaders do.
Say what you will about this man- and in no way is this a defense for the crime that you did- but he at least had the decency to resign in the better interests of the country unlike some president's.
Can anyone point out any legit sources or give any good argument on why Nixon was a bad President. And don't say watergate since that's a cop out. Nixon protected the men who tried to help him, unlike Bill Clinton who fed all his loyal sheep to the goats. So please give any good argument why Nixon was bad.
It was a little more than just his sex life. Tyson, the McDougals, White Water, rape allegations, etc... I'm not going to write a book based on my memory just because you live in a cement cage and seem to be completely unaware of how evil he was. I will say that it's funny how people like you think that Water Gate would have been okay if the CRP folks would have just had sex. Witch hunt? Look up all the people, departments, and one ASPIREN FACTERY, that the clintins ruined (or killed).
1. I'm well aware Clinton had his share of corruption. What I find ridiculous is that of all the things he did, a lot of people regard his affair as the worst.
2. However, if we're going to go by "lesser of two evils" with Clinton and Bush, it's Clinton, no questions asked.
3. It's just stupid that Clinton was for impeached for lying about his sex life and that Bush has not been impeached.
4. FYI, contrary to the revisionist myth, the factory in Sudan was producing chemical weapons.
Not to mention that considering the era of economic prosperity that took place during the Clinton administration now makes his whole affair seem trivial. Compare to the economic turmoil the country was in after Nixon resigned. Kind of funny though how Republicans blame the Democrats for economic problems but as soon as a Democrat takes office and prosperity takes hold the Republicans take complete credit for it, citing their policies as finally taking effect. How convienient.
So true. I've actually heard people claim that it was Reagan and Bush Sr's economic policies that caused the success under Clinton and that they just didn't take effect until Clinton was president.
I'm not just refering to "that lady". I'm refering to many other ones. You have to be on crack to think none of that happened. I mean "seriously", what could these women possibly gain? Why would the highway patrol, FBI, white house staff, and business associates lie about it as well? To better there jobs by selling out there boss, or to do what's morally correct. Get a life!
Um, yea im the one who needs to get a life. You seem to be outraged a little too much about a president who left office 8 years ago. I dont know that all allegations against Clinton are false. But im sure he is not a rapist and much of the shit thrown at him were lies by conservatives who literally wanted to see the man dead. Now if you'll excuse me, I must get back to my crack pipe.
Mr. Nixon was not a bad president at all. The liberals never forgave him for exposing Alger Hiss for the Communist that he was. Hiss, the darling of the New York media. Mr. Nixon played by the same old rules as JFK and Johnson--he was just on the wrong side and it was decided to run him out. More brilliant than any of our recent presidents, and certainly tougher.
can you imagine how hard it was for him to resign the office he worked so hard to win? he loved this country more than anyone will ever give him credit for. i wish clinton would have done the same thing, maybe then, more attention would have been paid to the terrorist threat that eventually led to 9/11.
you know dude. i totally agree. he is like, my hero, and he was great. he just gets too much bad publicity from watergate. i mean, most people, if theyve heard of nixon, it was watergate, not the good things.

Sorry, but if you study history and not just the cowboy action hero way George Bush tried to sound like and act like, you'll see he was extremely unqualified for the job, and not fit to be commander in chief. Bush has basically ruined America, and Obama has to try hard to restore it, even with some pig-headed Republicans who hate change trying to stand in the way.

@Theblizzardking We were not attacked by Afghanistan. We didn't need any troops there or Iraq and we don't need any troops there now. Now we have military in Pakistan, but we all know that anyone who disagrees with Barak Obama is of course every nasty word in the book. He is just as pro-war as the previous administration, but democrats will support everything he does just like the other party did with Bush. Country first not party first.

Typical liberal Democrap blindness and ignorance that is contributing to the downfall of what was once a great country. Cowboy? No one in America uses such a description these days...And how ironic that libs keep saying how unqualified Bush was when he was elected by a majority. TWICE. Maybe YOU should study history and learn that there were other presidents besides Bush and Obumma.
inoitall999 10 months ago
@inoitall999 "...Bush was ... elected by a majority. TWICE. Maybe YOU should study history..."
He was elected by a majority once. He was elected without a majority once. Maybe you should study history and learn how the Electoral College works before throwing around words like "typical... blindness and ignorance" so you don't continue to sound foolish.

@inoitall999 --whether Bush was elected twice by popular vote, or once by vote and the other by the Supreme Ct (funny how Bush seems to abhor lawyers and litigation)---he will go down in history as one of the most immature, shallow Presidents ever, as well as getting us into an unnecessary and expensive war in Iraq, wrecking the economy and contributing to the near bankruptcy of banks and other financial institutions. Nixon, by contrast, was brilliant in conducting foreign policy, at least.

Women do not "love to vote liberal". There are several factors contributing to a persons political ideology beyond sex, such as social status, marriage, education level, etc.
I'm glad you cling to Rush Limbaugh. Perhaps you can go listen to an actual intelligent conservative, not a talking head who is trying to make mountains out of mole hills on every single issue to piss you off.
But hey, congratulations on proving you are a sexist moron. I wonder what women embarrassed you in the past...

Wow. This is great stuff. If the measure of a great president is to have a legendary scandal during your term then we should include Clinton with those two.
As for you comment on "giving" the vote to women, I suggest you run along to mommy and ask for that hug she never gave you due to her deep regret for not going to the abortion clinic that warm spring day when she found out that she was going to give birth to a pure moron.

Good point.... he just you know, secretly killed a few thousand innocent people in countless illegal bombings of Cambodia, letting the Khmer Rouge take over, and yes, Watergate.

Nixon wasn't corrupt he was paranoid as hell and he thought that the Democrats were trying different ways to sabotage him so he sabotaged them first. The Committee to Re-elect the President was illegal as hell and so were the Plumbers, but he had no idea about Watergate when it happened. He tried to cover it up, thats what his problem was. Unfortunately this guy didn't know shit about technology so he didn't realize that every conversatio was recorded. He was a paranoid dummy.

Bill Clinton's impeachment saga was about a blow job. It was about a lie he told in a deposition regarding a personal indescretion that the REPUBLICAN judge threw out of court because she found it IRRELEVANT to the case for which it was submitted (Paula Jones), and then she wound up tossing out the Paula Jones case altogether, saying it was frivolous. Paula Jones, who claimed she only wanted an apology and not money then went on to spread her legs and advertise her vagina for Penthouse Magazine.
Beejjjjjj 3 years ago 6
@thecrimsonfloyd Reagan and Clinton both got caught doing some decrepit stuff ... in Reagan's case, he was almost out of office and to popular for action to be taken. In Clinton's case, he was simply too popular for action to be taken. Nixon lacked the popularity, and lived in an era where there was a vocal minority willing to push against him while keeping this on the front page ... which pushed Congress to act. These days, people in the US tend not to care too much what their leaders do.

Scotty7617 3 years ago
It was a little more than just his sex life. Tyson, the McDougals, White Water, rape allegations, etc... I'm not going to write a book based on my memory just because you live in a cement cage and seem to be completely unaware of how evil he was. I will say that it's funny how people like you think that Water Gate would have been okay if the CRP folks would have just had sex. Witch hunt? Look up all the people, departments, and one ASPIREN FACTERY, that the clintins ruined (or killed).
pansch1138 3 years ago
1. I'm well aware Clinton had his share of corruption. What I find ridiculous is that of all the things he did, a lot of people regard his affair as the worst.
2. However, if we're going to go by "lesser of two evils" with Clinton and Bush, it's Clinton, no questions asked.
3. It's just stupid that Clinton was for impeached for lying about his sex life and that Bush has not been impeached.
4. FYI, contrary to the revisionist myth, the factory in Sudan was producing chemical weapons.
Scotty7617 3 years ago
Also, I don't know how you reached the bizarre conclusion about Watergate and sex.
Scotty7617 3 years ago
Not to mention that considering the era of economic prosperity that took place during the Clinton administration now makes his whole affair seem trivial. Compare to the economic turmoil the country was in after Nixon resigned. Kind of funny though how Republicans blame the Democrats for economic problems but as soon as a Democrat takes office and prosperity takes hold the Republicans take complete credit for it, citing their policies as finally taking effect. How convienient.
