"You don't think Nixon did anything wrong because he was a Republican President."

Not at all. I don't think he did anything wrong because there was no evidence that he had foreknowledge of the Watergate break-in -- much less that he orchestrated it. His only sin was the cover-up in response to Congressional pressure.

Once Nixon assumed the presidency, he governed much like a liberal, eg. wage-price controls. He also chose a SOS (Kissinger) who counseled a policy amounting to gradual negotiated surrender to the soviets. I was no fan of President Nixon.

What's up with you, afv? First you say I wanted Nixon imprisoned, then you tag me as a knee-jerk Nixon supporter because of his party affiliation.

I understand that you enjoy putting words into my mouth, but can't you at least misrepresent me consistently?

Oh, I did not realize you required consistency. Then I'll suppose you agree with all Bill Clinton's fans that his faults were sins and not crimes ...
