Wow, you really know how to scare a guy, don't you.

So, if you make time to respond to "drivel", what does that make you?? Never mind, we already know.

But since you have served notice, you never responded to the fact that the Washington Pasters who lynched Nixon over the Watergate fiasco said amongst themselves: "Well, if the public doesn't buy this, guess we'll all have to go out and real jobs."

The Hard Left's confession that they themselves see their campaign as simply one of killing the reputations of people they don't like. "All the President's Men" (1976): Dustin Hoffman, Bobby Redford, and a cast of slanderers, bearers of false witness, and killers of a president, all for the personal glory of that golden calf of Pulitzer. Short term happiness, at best. Seem to be your idols. Not mine.

Wait, I'm confused, you don't have a problem with Nixon's actions during Watergate? From your post it sounds like Watergate was just an attempt by the left to discredit a president they didn't like?

What Nixon did, trying to cover-up an obvious illegal act by the "plumbers", was wrong, but it by no means was the "constitutional threat" that the Hard Left tarred him with. No way, no how. He was concerned that McGovern was making nice with elements determined to destroy America and the West -- namely, North Korea and Cuba -- and he allowed too much leeway to Liddy and his boys. But, my God, it didn't deserve the political lynching that it turned into. Well, Billy-boy Clinton had to pay for that. What goes around comes around.

I just hope for the sake of the country no idiots are stupid enough to try it again on Bush.

Hope that clears up your "confusion".

The big mistake these two a$s holes made was "They Got Caught".

You have senators & congressmen right this minute sitting in Washington that are far worse than these two "Political Scum Bags".

Show me a successful politician and I'll show you a back stabbing, disloyal, dishonest, ruthless, crooked piece of *****.

If your in politics and you make it to the Senate, Congress or the White House your a poor excuse for a "Honset Human Being", because if your a "good guy" you won't make it out of city hall.

Just count your blessings for all the things Nixon could have gone to jail for but didn't. A president authorizing a break-in, lying about it, and then firing two Attorneys General for their refusal to fire the special prosecutor doesn't seem American to me. What would Jesus have done?

Fogbuster

Oh, please. Count your blessings that Henry Hyde got all mushy in the knees and let Clinton go with a slap on the wrist.

Jesus would have forgiven Nixon, loved him, and let him carry on with his last two years in office.

I've asked you before to provide information or links to the charge that McGovern was cavorting with "America's enemies" (as if Cuba and N Korea could have done ANYTHING to us at that time) but you haven't yet. Could you please provide backup to your claims if you can?

HOpe this doesn't turn into a conversation about Nixon...regardless of why I don't think any President should do that it is beneath the office. I was too young to understand what was going on, but everything I learned about it..he needed to go.

Now as far as the press goes I personally have seen the warped view of the press and it used to further an agenda. Now by agenda I do not nessecarily mean a right or left slant but please can someone honestly say that DOESN'T happen all the time. I mean "sell" a story. Look on the Pats main board how many sports writers are writing crap just to "sell" does it have fact in thier story? Many times they leave out FACTS that are well known to achieve thier slant.

I also have been on scene where I KNOW what information the press was given and later read or watched them report the incident and hear basically an outright lie. They have skewed the FACTS to sensationalize it or to make it a story that they think will "sell". I have seen the same thing at trials where they will report on something that came out at trial yet leave out that it was totally disproved with cross examination yet they NEVER mention that even though they were there and I watched them take the notes. Watch the news weather it is local or CNN, sensationalization. Maybe an event like 9/11 or hurricanes (during only) but after the fact? I'm sorry but you will only get the facts THEY WANT you to hear and that they think will "sell".

So spare me the bastion of the "free press" it isn't "free" it is a slave to the almighty dollar and egos. That is a sad reflection that our soceity WANTS these negative stories or at least they are the ones that make the $$$. The days of Edward Marrow are over. Not saying thier aren't good journalist out there I am sure their are ones with integrity and morals, but thier story will never be printed before page 6 or on the news except on late night weekends. So while I don't know what goes on in a news room I sure have had plenty of first hand experience with wathcing news peverted by reporters or an editor or someone in between when it got handed down to the journalist and made it to the public.

Lol, but I bet Jesus would have hung Bill Clinton? I think the reason Clinton "got off" was because they didn't have the votes to convict him in the senate. 50/50 on their best one, 45/55 on the other was it?

I know all I need to know about you now .... sheeple.

Your name should be PressSheeple.
