Took a year to gnaw through the straps again.
Supposedly he quit more than a year ago. The public never seemed to care very much anyway.
I will give anyone a hundred bucks if they are actually able to ask him that on camera and capture his reaction and answer. I’m serious, I’ll do it
He wouldn’t flinch for a second as he responded “To the extent that we were able to frustrate the job-destruction of his radical socialist agenda, every sacrifice we made on behalf of the American people to defend the Constitution and protect our way of life was well-worth the price we paid.”
My most sincere hope would be for the GOP not to veer even further to the right. Hopefully, cooler heads prevail and the party works toward projecting a more moderate and practical image to the American public by reaching at least a few accomidations with an Obama administration.
However, given the violent images at the birth control hearings two weeks ago, one worries that real right wing armed violence with the tacit approval of top Congressional Republicans is at least a possibility.
While that looks like the case alot of top Democrats thought the same thing in 1992.
Snowe’s successor, Collins, Brown, Kirk, Murkowski, and Rubio (despite being a Tea Party candidate, he is quite moderate).
So like how the left was out to get Richard Nixon from day one?
The American Right is not a violent faction with the exception of certain deranged individuals (ie Tim McVeigh)-indeed is is interesting to note that while the violence by the American Right has been by isolated individuals violence by the New Left in the 60s and by European leftists now have been far more organized and in the form of mobs (ie the various college riots or the Greek riots). And your amusing expectation that most of the Right has any desire to assassinate the President to the extent that they could have penetrate the extensive security detail merely shows your ideas of the Right-wing is no different from Tea Partiers who think Obama is Stalin and out to put them in gulags.
So said his famous persecution-mania, at any rate.
Poor Nixon. The left made him send those “plumbers” to the Watergate and bug the DNC’s headquarters. Oh, the humanity.
Worse, they had all these possibly-electable-in-1972 candidates . . . CREEP had no choice but to sabotage every campaign but McGovern’s.
First off, the odds are on Snowe’s successor being a Democrat, and possibly a quite liberal one, not a Republican. Second, if her successor is the one Republican who’s running for the seat, he’s an extreme-right Tea Partier, not a moderate. You’re not only counting a chicken that hasn’t hatched yet, it’s a grocery-store egg.
The liberal elements of the country hounded Nixon long before Watergate.
I’m pretty sure more candidates will announce sooner or later. Are the independent in the race, BTW, including the former governor more GOP-leaning or Democrat-leaning/
Better make it sooner: They’ve got two weeks until the deadline.
Out of curiosity, just how many years of hounding by those evil liberals is required to make rigging an election, breaking and entering, illegal wiretapping, and obstruction of justice peachy keen in your book?
Cool! List some crimes that are totally acceptable to you for Obama’s people to commit now that Tea Party elements have “hounded” him for years?
I was twelve years old when RMN had his “day one,” so I admittedly wasn’t paying much attention; but in 1972, I walked for McGovern a little. The most “hounding” thing I recall being brought up was something he had said during the Johnson Administration about four years being enough time for ANY American President to finish a war, and if a President couldn’t manage it in one term he didn’t deserve a second.
Your memory is perhaps better than mine. Could you share with us some stories of the pre-Watergate “hounding” that RMN endured? Bonus points if you didn’t learn about them at the inappropriate shrine in Yorba Linda.
You’re just embarrassing yourself at this point. Best quit while you’re behind.
#1 Top goal…
To fight tooth and nail to kill any policy, piece of legislation, executive order or constitutional end run that furthers AGENDA 21!
I’m about four times as old as Qin, and I remember, slightly, the election of 1960. There was indeed great antipathy against Nixon even then. My father told me he was a crook. “Know Nixon: No Nixon” was a popular bumper sticker. As far as I recall, the antipathy was directed more against his character than his policies. Recall that Nixon achieved his initial fame by being, in effect, a disciple of Joseph McCarthy.
Given what we now know of Nixon’s methods, I think fairness requires that we view those who “hated” Nixon in 1960 as wise judges of character, not merely “liberal hounders.”
