Reply #229: Because the notion that Obama is ideologically less liberal than Nixon is absurd

[Hippo_Tron]

If the OP had wanted to discuss how far to the right the country had moved they could have started an OP like "will the country ever be as liberal as it was in 1970?" Nixon wasn't a liberal or a conservative on domestic policy. He outsourced domestic policy to congress in hopes that doing so would get them to look the other way while he continued fighting in Vietnam even though he promised to end the war.
