Reply #85: NO. And, YES, in 1972 we had criminals running the RNC and the WH.

NO, because there were far fewer bad apples then. There has been a considerable re-grouping since Nixon's resignation and pardon.

I can remember exactly where I sat watching the hearings then. What memorable times. I missed a lot of work and income to view that part of history.

The big difference is Watergate was about one simple issue, illegal political spying and the cover-up.

Today we have illegal political spying to cover-up dozens and dozens of crimes, and it seems every R is in on it!

It is important to remember that a group of Rs went to the WH to tell Nixon to take a permanent vacation.
Who is going to do that today, Vitter? Guys elected in fixed elections? They all need to stall the inevitable!
