Re: I Like Nixon
As a president he was better than most democrat presidents
meh. Probably, but I can't get past the wage and price controls.
I think the watergate break-ins were WAY overblown.
The break-ins themselves didn't do him in. The cover-up did. All Nixon had to do was go on national TV and admit responsibility despite not directly giving instructions. He'd have been chastised in the press but still would've beaten McGovern. Tragic flaw. He let his paranoia get the best of him.
read "Will" by G.Gordon Liddy
Awesome book. Especially the part about Liddy bugging the Warden's office while in he was an inmate at Danbury and nailing him for embezzlement.
I like Nixon
Excellent poker player.
