It must be a shameful thing. Afterall, they are so honorable and full of integrity.

This is a very good question. And its interesting that Bush is already tied with Nixon historically as one of the least liked, least popular presidents in Ameican history. The Bush administration far exceed what Nixon did towards creating an imperial presidency. I am hopeful something similar will happen to Bush and Cheney.
Their greed for power and paranoia may well be their undoing.

What has Watergate got to do with any of the important issues of today? If you can make a logical connection then we'd be happy to discuss it. Otherwise, you are talking about something that happened 35 years ago! So what's your point?
Edit: That's a response? You list bogus Lib talking points and call that an argument. No, I do not see a connection at all. Just someone who has drunk the Lib kool-aid. Ya gotta do better than that to have any credibility.

My take on it. Nixon should have gone to jail. Nobody but NOBODY is above the law and that includes the President of the United States.
Add to that Teddy Kennedy should have been serving 20 to life in Walpole after leaving the scene of a fatal accident istead of 20 to life in the Senate. Bill Clinton should have gone to jail just like Nixon should have. Hillary deserves it to IMHO, she just hasn't been caught yet.

Can you stand a little truth?
Watergate can now be seen as the old media's first great success at striking at the right through verbal Crucifixion of a right wing political target. That target then was Richard Nixon.
The old media is at it today thinking they can influence the political landscape by their unabashed support of Dumocrats and leftist agendas.
Look at what the nightly news does to any number of Republicans from Tony Snow to Chaney, Carl Rove, and especially the President.
Yes, Bushy has brought some of that negative attention on himself, But, it is also painfully obvious that the old Media is biased beyond all reason, just hoping to score another Watergate-type of knockout for their leftist agenda.
To that person just below me...I think I've answered your question adequately.

Nixon resigned the presidency in disgrace, thus avoiding being impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors. In the election of 2004, an election fraught with irregularities, questions and fraud, George W. Bush ostensibly defeated John F. Kerry by a mere 3,319,878 votes, with the electoral college margin of 286 to 252, hardly a mandate by comparison. Richard Nixon's precipitous downfall provides evidence that the people have a limit to how much noise and lying they will put up with. The time will soon come when the people will make their own noise demanding that the Constitution be once again returned to them from corporate fascism that has taken over the United States government.

Watergate, isn't that almost ancient history? Maybe we can ask why Cato dissed Julius in the Senate house so much? Christ, and your side whines when a neocon mentions Clinton. Get over it already.

Ain't you tired of beating a dead horse yet...
We got some new stuff;
Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) and his aides improperly conducted partisan political activities out of his Detroit congressional office;
Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA) violated House ethics rules and standards in handing over a tape of an illegally intercepted phone conversation to the press;
Rep. William Jefferson (D-LA) misused his public office for personal financial gain;
Sen. Ted Stevens, currently the subject of an FBI corruption probe, is questioning the modus operandi of the FBI in the daylong search of his home in Girdwood, Alaska

The neo -ons don't care about the past. They seek to steal and control the future and wealth of our nation for themselves and the tiny handful of their soul-less and super rich selves that support them. They have no integrity. They are driven by greed, lust, selfishness, dishonesty and a loathing for the Americans their policies seek to dissenfranchise and send to die for their wars of greed, graft and lies.

Nixon was guily of protecting subordinates, not comitting the actual, and by the way petty, crime. Liberals who ignore whitewater are better how?
