Richard Nixon was a true american hero

That small watergate thing taunted a legacy that should last for centuries

What legacy? Watergate wasn't little, you moron. Aside from opening China and "ending" the Vietnam War(by bombing them to kingdom come), he failed as a President. Plus, he was paranoid and blamed everything on the Kennedys. He was the worst President this country has ever had, until Bush, Jr. came along. Are you even American? It sounds like you don't know what you're talking about.

Nixon was certainly no more corrupt than Clinton or Obama.

I think that you meant to say Bush or Reagen.

Nixon was a man of great accomplishments who did plenty to sabotage his office- OUR office.

And I'm sure he had plenty to blame on the Kennedys.

But we need to re-establish our position as citizens that misbehaviors by our elected officials will not be tolerated. We have been noticeably lacking in this arena for a great many years.
Is it any wonder the corruption in politics is now taken in stride?

Freedom has a lot to do with tolerating the crap you don't like

I thought we couldn't do worse than Nixon until we elected Reagan (twice). Just about the time I thought Reagan was the worst, we got GWB. The only thing that could top GWB (for sheer ineptitude) would have been Romney. Thank God we averted that mess.Anyone who thinks Nixon was a decent president surely didn't live in the USA during his presidency.

"Thank God we averted that mess."
Um... Obama's foreign policy is Bush tenfold... What are you talking about? Nothing was averted...

At least we aren't currently invading or occupying countries just for the hell of it.

Libya certainly begs to differ.

We neither invaded nor are we occupying Libya.

Oh yeah, the United States totally didn't drop bombs on Libya with their NATO partners, killing 40,000 unarmed citizens and toppled a regime that ushered in a racist, terrorist controlled opposition puppet government that they couldn't even control properly, leading to even more deaths in Benghazi after the uprising.

And Obama has not been drone bombing innocent civilians in Yemen or Pakistan. Nor did he murder three American citizens without a trial.

Silly me. I was just paying attention to world events.
