ORIGINAL: tazzygirl That comment was meant for both sides of the isle. Weiner isnt as bad as Arnold who isnt as bad as Clinton, who isnt as bad as Nixon. See my point? Why dont we hold them responsible for their own actions as opposed to how bad their actions are in comparison with someone else? No...I don't see your point. I want to know why Nixon was so bad. The Watergate Scandal? Is that it? The President that ended the war in Nam, opened up relations with China, furthered civil rights, created the EPA (which may continue to prove to be a huge mistake), what made him so bad? Is the Watergate Scandal all you got? You know, there are books comparing Clinton's Whitehouse to Nixon's and Nixon looks pretty good if only by comparison. Also, if you are talking about affairs, please tell me the affairs or other lewd behavior engaged in by Truman or Dwight or Nixon or Ford or Carter or Reagan or HW Bush or W. Bush....or Obama, for that matter. We elect scumbags and then we defend them for no better reason than they advance our political agenda. You forget about how Nixon declared war on the Hippies, and was responsible for the death and disappearance of many people, including some quite famous rock-stars you've probably heard of now and again...
