“did not end when he waved, flashed a victory sign, and got into Marine One on the White House lawn.”

I have a framed copy on my office wall. It was a painful day for me. Frankly but for a short respites in the 80’s and 2000s, it serves to remind me how the enemies of the nation have grown in power, prestige, and worse of all acceptance.

Nixon’s greatest crime was defeating McGovern in a nationwide landslide. No one in the press voted for him and they didn’t know anyone who had.

Clearly Nixon had to be punished.

There have been an increasing number of stories about Nixon lately - either comparing Nixon with Obama or explaining why Nixon was so much worse than Obama.

You know things are bad for Obama when his apologists are reduced to trying to convince the public that he isn’t quite as bad as Nixon.

The truth is that Obama’s lawlessness compared to Nixon’s transgressions make Nixon look like a rascally school boy caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

Had Nixon followed his own advice given the day he left, his presidency might have survived.

It is so true that hate and envy are self-destructive emotions. You see it a lot in liberals - hate and envy. It is written all over their scowl-lined faces. And they are by and large miserable people as a result.

This was indeed Nixon's fatal flaw. He allowed his hate and envy to get the better of him and it destroyed him. He finally realized it at the end but it was too late to save him. Otherwise Nixon was a decent man.

Nixon’s greatest crime wasn’t Watergate. It was taking us off the silver standard. Now US dollar has no intrinsic value.

Look Nixon's “crime” was he thought he could play by the same rule a Democrat could play by.. you cant.. the press is hypocritical the game is hypocritical.

We see this with Obama vs Bush.. to the media Obama can do no wrong..and Bush could do no right.

There were people with power out to get Nixon from day one and he gave the the window.

Sure, Nixon was smart, but he was also a liberal. He gaves us affirmative action, the EPA, wage + price controls, etc. Tom Wicker, NY Times decades long columnist published "Nixon: One of Us" in 1991, meaning that Nixon was a liberal. This would be comparable to Paul Krugman writing a book on George W. Bush in 2026 that Dubya was really one of us.

The Libertarian Party was founded in 1971, when Nixon imposed wage + price controls, which was a sure sign of impending tyranny.

The only thing that was different about Nixon from your standard big government liberal, was that he was an anti-communist.

Nixon was a brilliant pro-American in foreign policy and a complete liberal schmuck on domestic policy but the number one thing I think of when I think of the Fall of Nixon is: without Watergate, there might not have been a Jimmy Carter. Without Jimmy Carter, there might not have been a Ronald Regan.

So the Downfall of Richard Nixon is not one of those things I’ll be targeting for change when I perfect my time machine.

Richard Nixon made a number of poor decisions while in office, including his appeasement of a dem held Congress that left us with new alphabet agencies that now terrorize us. That said, I’d take old Dick in a New York second over the filth that now soils the White House.
