Right. Though, we're all a little corrupt. No, he wasn't a saint. Though, I'm not going to base my feelings on him solely on Watergate.
-
@Gmancrap He was just a bit corrupt.
To bug that Watergate building in 1973 when he had already won the 1972 election was ridiculous.

43 years later, Nov 6, 2011....where did the time go?
-
He was an ok president.

Nixon said he "knows how it feels to lose a close one." At least dead people didn't vote in this election!

i was born in 1970, but as a dem if i were 21 that year i would have voted for humphrey. back then only 21 and above could have voted.

@atrios28 He most certainly would not be. He was a classic example of a dealmaker. He was never solid on any issue. One example was during the 1972 election, when he opened up ties with China. Obama's been doing the same type of appealing to the other side of the political spectrum as Nixon did. Nixon courted Democrats by making statements like "we're all Keynesians now" and Obama did the same with Republicans by giving us a record-breaking $282 billion tax cut with his stimulus package.

@hulkyone -Nixon certainly had his faults, and it is unfortunate that they seem to overshadow his strengths and accomplishments. Bottom line----he was just not a likeable guy, and the media never treated him fairly. And many liberals and even moderates never forgot how nasty he was during the Hiss hearings

@RightWingHunter666 ---it is amzing how much times have changed, and so much of the country has moved to the far "right". Nixon deserved a much better fate
Thank you so much for uploading this wonderful piece of history!
