Reply #7: This is why the pardoning of Nixon was a mistake

[SoCalDem]

Had Nixon been tried and not pardoned, the rest of the sleazy stuff would have come out..

These people needed to be discredited , IN PUBLIC,....and LOUDLY...when they commited their sneaky deeds.. By giving Nixon a pass, these folks breathed a sigh of relief, and were carefully folded back into the Reagan/Bush /Bush administrations.. They have had 30 years to "get their game down" ,and by now they are very good at it..

If Negroponte had been politically "taken out" back then, how many people would still be alive today???

If Cheney had been taken down then, would he have ever made it to congress, where he could affect policy/legislation??

Would Rove be the player that he is today, if he had been exposed for the little albino cockroach that he truly was/is???


Who knows??? We may not have even HAD a Reagan administration without the shifty , behind-the-scenes- stuff that these guys no doubt pulled with the Iranians ultimately led to the downfall of Carter..

People have got to start thinking "long-term" like the repubbies have always done.. They see the game next week and the playoffs, and we are concentrating on the next play..


It's kind of like pest control.. Do we just chase the roaches out of the kitchen, knowing that they will return the minute the lights go off, or do we get out the Raid, and snuff them out ???
