Cool stuff. I was age 11 and 12 during 1972. My dad and uncle almost got in a physical fight over the beginnings of Watergate. My mom and her sister made a stern rule that Nixon WOULD NOT be mentioned anymore 'tween those two. Of course my dad was livid and shamed, because Nixon turned out to be every bit the paranoid crook that my uncle said he was.
@xxxMrSuspendedxxx Well, I'll tell you something, Richard Nixon, as flawed as he was (for Christ's sake, he gave us the EPA), had the 1960 election stolen from him, by his "friend" Jack Kennedy, the child of bootleggers. He could have contested this, and won the presidency, but, unlike his despicable successor, Albert Gore, he put his country above his own fortunes. Well done, Sir!
@theshadow1932 Props to ya. Every time I bring up the fact of the Irish Catholic mob getting Kennedy elected I get pert much booed out of town. I even lost a Yahoo e-mail account for telling the tale on Jack Kennedy's early political election wins as he climbed the ladder. I got "Thumbs Downed" so many times that Yahoo auto deleted my account I guess-- I tried to sue, but I got told by my State's Attorney to shut my butt, lol.
