Some people have argued that WATERGATE was both good and bad for America, how is this so???

Answer 1

I'd be hard-pressed to say it was good for America. The government practically had a nervous breakdown. However, the system eventually worked, and the bad guys finally lost. There's something to be said for that.

Answer 2

Yeah, it proved that even the president is not above the law, which is good. I wish we had more people like that today so we could bring down the corruption that currently exists (and yes it's bipartisan, you only assume i mean the current administration, conservatives, because you know it's corrupt and are totally fine with it)

Answer 3

Because it brought in the open how dirty politics are. Everyone running for office depends on inside information and hardly ever gets caught.

Answer 4

It allowed people who have had their heads stuck in the sand finally see that our government can and will break the law, lie, steal and kill if it suits them.
