Nixon was a warrior. He knew why we hated him, and he didn't care.
I picked an awful decade to be born. :sad: I can only imagine what it was like back then.

I was just a tyke, but I remember the big party my parents had when Nixon got on the helicopter.
Meh...I was an infant-in-arms. HOWEVER...I remember the Carter-aftermath. And the resultant-Reagan-gasms...does that count?
QuoteNixon was surely the worst person other than Dick Cheney ever to control the executive branch.
Has this man never heard of Andrew Jackson?

Andrew Jackson was a gloriously unhinged loon with a taste for personal violence.
What's not to
love?
Jackson usually gets the blame for the Trail of Tears for one (though I think it was actually Van Buren?).
It was under Jackson that the Indian Removal act of 1830 that started the whole thing. He pushed it, the South favored it, and it happened.
Shudder.
I'd rather vote for Robot Nixon then Zombie Reagan
I liked Reagan, he wanted to put lasers innnn spaaaaaace. Not just wimpy comm lasers, but zap-u-dead ones that would blow up missles and planes, and toasters.
That said, glad his reign ended with Bush sr.
I don't like Regan. He gave us the modern Republican party, complete with fundies. Also, my high school had a really creepy copper bust of him in the library. His teeth freaked me out.

Any man who beats a failed assassin with a cane is all right in my book.
