I think the relative 'good' Nixon did was because it was expected, because both sides wanted it, etc. Today? I think he would be right smack in the middle of the Rove/Norquist/Cheney, etc bunch - and THRIVING on the steady diet of hate-n-ugly. This is the same guy that spend much of the late 40s/early 50s as McCarthy's whip, hunting down (or conjuring, more like) and destroying the lives of hundreds and thousands of "red Communists." Oh, yeah, he had the hate thing down from the git-go.

I feel the same way. Mittens is just as dumb as Dubya but far more ruthless. nt
