And he never did give up. What he says about TR, could easily apply to himself.

He lost in 1960, then fought back. He lost in 1962, and hit back at the media. And he came back in 1968 and won.

And, when he was betrayed in 1974, he came back - and he fought on. He always fought for his country. He never gave up.

From the last paragraph.

Always remember others may hate you,but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them, and then you destroy yourself

I remember that President Nixon, spoke of his mother. She was a Quaker by religion. He said "my mother was a saint". Perhaps that statement reflected her influence on him.

Even today, inspite of those two wretched men- Woodward and Bernstein, some of us wonder what was the measure of his sin? What if others in that office were recorded in every private conversation?.

1. His SIN? Uh, black bag projects on the opposition party, maybe?
Shaking down every possible potential donor for heavy, intensive cash? Of course, after DeLay, that doesn't look so impressive anymore.

4. Interesting that someone is posting there under the name Francis Urquhart
-- aka "furquhart". Just like for the vile character of that name in the excellent, excellent British mini-series House of Cards, it's all tumbling down hard with no where to run. Let's just hope that unlike the movie, something "very special" is not in the works for Dear Leader, too.

(These freepers are some REALLY, REALLY sick people.)

5. They would have hated Nixon
standing where they are now. Compared to the Neocons, he was one of us.

6. Actually, there were times during the last six years that I would have
preferred Nixon! Oh my god, things were bleak!
