Watergate was nuttin', but for the fact that Nixon was so hated by his opponents He lied. Had he admitted the break-in appears to have occurred though he didn't know anything about it, that would have been the end of it. In those days you did not lie to us. Today on the other hand you can stare into the camera and point your figure at me and say I never had sex or whatever in the world that asshole actually said and you can get away with it. The proof was in the blue dress In those days you did not lie to us. Today it's politics as usual.

Poor Nixon was probably the most hated President to sit in the Oval Office ever. His enemies were all the liberal press and Hollywood, and they were out for blood. Bush would probably be third behind Reagan... What Bill and Hillary Clinton did throughout his Presidency, was treasonous...but not one demand for their head by the liberal media or Hollywood ever. It's wonderful to finally have found a voice for our side. It was lonely at the top!

Attempting to cover up a felony is a felony. If boinking an intern was sufficient reason to put Clinton in the dock, obstructing the investigation of a burglary has to be enough to put Nixon there. Either that or only partisan "justice" is "justice" and I for one won't accept that. He also tried to get the IRS to audit his political enemies. That is illegal and an abuse of power. Look, even NEWSMAX admits this as part of slamming Clinton: Nixon's IRS commissioner told him to take a hike when he demanded that his enemies be audited. newsmax.com Maybe the Commissioner refused, but from that statement Nixon clearly made the demand. It was that discovery that was the tipping point. That got him impeached and swayed enough Senators that he would have been convicted had he not resigned. How about "I want to be sure he is a ruthless son of a bitch, that he will do what he's told, that every income tax return I want to see I see, that he will go after our enemies and not go after our friends." That's how former President Richard Nixon described his ideal commissioner of Internal Revenue to top aides Bob Haldeman and John Ehrilchman on May 13, 1971. cnn.com He may have been our SOB, but he was still an SOB. Come on, guys. There ain't no "Saint Nixon".
