At one point, the interviewer asked Clinton why he thought there was so much animosity/tension between the two parties. He had a really interested spin on the whole problem. He said he thought it started back in the 1960s during the Vietnam war. He believes that the Republicans in this country did not want to withdraw from the war [sound familiar]and they felt the liberals forced this country to pull out. Secondly, he thinks the Nixon impeachment intensified the right's anger level, causing it to go up another notch; that they believed what Nixon did was not an impeachable offense and that the liberals pushed it just to get Nixon out of the WH. After that, the GOP was hell bent on seizing power and maintaining as much control as possible. Right, and so there became a vast right-wing conspiracy to seize power and install a series of Republican presidents, each of whom garnered a higher percentage of the vote than Clinton ever did. In actuality, Clinton was AWOL in 1968 dodging the draft and so probably missed the fact the Nixon was the one claiming to have a secret plan to end the war while the Democrats ran Humphrey the hawk, who fully supported and defended the Kennedy-Johnson war.
