Blankley's column recalls Nixon's ruthlessness -- his characteristic heedlessness regarding means and ends. Blankley does not pursue the comparison, but he clearly sees Ms. Hillary in the same light. Indeed, no one on the national scene more resembles Nixon in this respect than the Clintons, and it seems to me one more reason to fear, rather than to approach with equanimity, the prospect of another Clinton administraton. The operative word is "paranoia", which can serve a politician well if he/she doesn't it let it overwhelm reason. Hillary plainly has it like RMN did, as well as his desire for revenge on his enemies.

Nixon had one major allegation against him during his Presidency and that was Watergate. Could he have handled it differently----think so. Should he have been impeached and drummed out of office by the Democrats. No. Hillary and Bill (The Clintons) have so many allegations against them that I see no valid comparison between Hilary and Nixon---------Nixon served with dignity while Bill groveled in the Oval Office. Comparing Hillary to Nixon may deter some people from voting for her if they were Nixon haters because of Watergate or the Vietnam War. That is perhaps a valid point. The more I consider the coming election, the more I realize that this is not about electing one person. This election is about who will be the leaders in this country for the next four years and longer. Whose policies do we want in place? Do we want Hillary appointing our Supreme Court Justice? What President do we want as the Commander in Chief of the Military-----determining our policies in the international arena. mj
