The other side of the coin...who is the NIXON of our generation?

[Vickers]

Whoever the JFK turns out to be, I sure hope they spank the living shit out of whoever the Tricky Dick of the other side turns out to be.

[no name no slogan]

1. Well, if you go on their platforms

I'd have to say most of the Democratic presidential contenders are.

If you go on their actions, I'd have to say GWB.

[THUNDER HANDS]

2. Cheney comes really close to Nixon

but Nixon was waaaaaaaaay smarter than Cheney.

[rosesaylavee]

3. And yet Cheney has managed stay involved

in three administrations. I think he is worse than smart. He is clever and cunning.

[melody]

4. Nixon, Cheney, Rumsfeld, et al all came out of the brow of Zeus at one time

They're like the Boys from Brazil.

I think any of the current crop of neocon Sock Monkeys have it in them to be Nixonian.

[featherman]

5. Good one... I'm thinking Giuliani tempermentally

But he seems to be sinking and at least Nixon knew how to win elections

[Fed_Up_Grammy]

6. Old Dick was one of a kind. I always remember the posters in the

late sixties with a picture of the little weasel and the caption,"Would you buy a used car from this man?"

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. You Do Know That Nixon Almost Won -It Was Like 49.7 -49.2

And fairly close in the Electoral College...

[TwilightZone]

9. If the debates hadn't been televised, he probably would have won.

They seemed to influence a lot of voters.

[Didereaux]

8. Nixon was the young Neo-CONS benefactor...he didn't

support them, they were all snot-nosed neophytes, but he gave them a job, and access to the system. Nixon, as despicble as they were would fight Cheney & Co tooth and nail today. he was a mis-guided red-baiter, but a true believer in the ultimate authority of the Constitution...the proof of that was he handed over those tapes when the USSupCt ruling came against hiom, he did not burn them, he did not misplace them. That was his single shining moment in a long career. Such an act by todays Repugnant Neo-CONS would not even cross their minds.

10. Here's a couple...

Joe Lieberman and Zell Miller. (I'm sure there's more).

[AlCzervik]

11. Cheney but in a way Cheney makes Nixon's shenanigans look like amateur night in dixie.
