Once again politicians prove that crime pays in America for the privileged. Crimes; Secret war in Laos and Cambodia without Congress approval. Coverup of Watergate crimes. Payoffs to criminals. Violating Civil Rights of Daniel Elsberg. IRS audits of political enemies. Failing to uphold oath of office, violating the Constitution.

Dear Ruth and Leogirl; Richard Nixon was Never tried, but if you say it often enough, someone will believe you.

Can we please understand that a presidential bl*w job is no where near the seriousness of a shadow government spying on its citizens and waging unapproved war in direct contradiction to the laws of the land? Once you understand what Nixon did you want to barf, that is if you truly love the ideals of this country. Should he have stood trial? Yes if for no other reason than so we can know and recognize the danger he put this country in for the sole purpose of consolidating his power. He presented a true challenge to our rule of law and should have served time.

In fact, every president should, but that's not normal in any country.
What's worse, confiscation has been erased from many constitutions. Why? Corrupt Politicians protecting Corrupt Politicians?
If anyone supports 'redistribution of wealth', then go and
suggest that 'confiscation' should be reinstituted. Only corrupt politicians should be affected by it -not hard workers.
As always, either we must accept the facts or get involved into politics to try to change what most people don't accept.

He replaced right into a truly intelligent guy, and as a rule a reliable chief (i imagine he had the optimal iq of all the presidents in workplace.) He did nicely for overseas coverage in China, and elsewhere, and stood up for the country. having reported that, he replaced into paranoid and had a clumsy and unfriendly personality. He replaced into truly intelligent, and he knew it, so he concept he replaced into above the regulation. the most well-loved get at the same time is watergate, besides the indisputable fact that it replaced into later stumbled on out that there have been many, many different unlawful offenses; mendacity, bribes, and spying on his fighters. at the same time as Nixon may have made an excellent chief, he replaced right into a foul man or woman. also, for the period of his very last days in workplace, members of his team say that they said him talking to pix of former presidents interior the midst of the evening. (This replaced into under no circumstances shown, besides the indisputable fact that.) in spite of this, I doubt Nixon replaced into undermining our authorities in help of China. His public image replaced into important to him, and he replaced into keen to save an excellent recognition. Even after his resignation, he wrote books and toured the international to attempt to attain his good rep. decrease back (with average success.) Nixon wanted the country to do nicely because he wanted to be efficient and regular, and does not have offered the U. S. out to China because there replaced into not some thing in it for him.

At the time I didn't like it at all that Nixon was pardoned and I voted for him. But in retrospect it was probably better for him just to get out of office so the country could get on with it.

Nixon also helped open China which later led to 300,000,000 chinese peasants getting out of poverty. The most ever in history. He also got China to drop the Soviets as an ally which was the beginning of the end for Soviet Communism.

Yep...Nixon should have been impeached, and then removed from office...just like Bill Clinton should have been.
The biggest difference was that...when it became obvious that Nixon was guilty...the Republican leadership went to him and told him that if he did NOT resign, the party would NOT support him just because of politics. They would vote to impeach him, and then vote to remove him from office.
When it became obvious that Clinton was guilty...the Democratic leadership raised teetotal hell, and supported the lying sack of sh*t even though they KNEW he had committed perjury.
And when a political party makes the REPUBLICANS look honest and principled in comparison...that's pretty damn pathetic.
