Nixon was a crook and thus...IMPEACHED
He resigned his seat as president and left in SHAME
| Quote: |
Beginning on June 17, 1972, events began that would force President Nixon to resign in disgrace and turn into the worst political disgrace in the history of the Unites States. That night five agents on the Committee to Reelect the President were arrested while burglarizing the Democratic National Headquarters in the Watergate complex. Over the next couple of year Bob
Woodward and Carl Bernstein of the Washington Post, and the Senate Select Committee uncovered numerous actions carried out by, or from orders given from, President Nixon.
They found that the Nixon administration had bugged the Democratic Headquarters. The Republicans had attempted to sow dissention among Democratic candidates in an effort to weaken the party. The White House, and even the President had authorized payment to those scheduled to testify on Watergate, and to cover other criminal activities. A "plumbers unit" had broken into psychiatrist Daniel Ellsberg's office. Ellsberg was a former government official who leaked the "Pentagon Papers," a top-secret study on the causes of the Vietnam War. Nixon's White House had also created a list of political enemies that included Bill Cosby, Jane Fonda, Paul Newman, African-American Representative John Conyers of Michigan and Daniel Schorr of CBS news.
President Nixon denied everything, and were it not for "secret" White House tape recordings, might have cleanly escaped. The Senate committee asked for the tapes, but President Nixon claimed that executive power denies him from having to release the recordings. After the Supreme Court ruled unanimously in Nixon v United States that the tapes were to be turned over, they were given to the committee. When the tapes were delivered one tape had more than eighteen minutes erased from it. As event unfolded special prosecutor Archibald Cox and his successor Leon Jaworski prosecuted Nixon official for criminal conduct. In July of 1974 the House Judiciary Committee approved three articles of impeachment against President Nixon. The first, Obstruction of Justice, charged that he withheld evidence, condoned perjury, interfered with investigations, attempted to misused the CIA, made false and misleading statements to the public, and other infractions. He was charged with abuse of power for misusing the FBI, the IRS, the Secret Service, maintained an illegal investigative service, interfered with the Watergate investigation, and failed to prosecute his subordinates for criminal actions. Lastly he was charged with failure to comply with congressional subpoenas.
Effective August 9, 1974 Nixon resigned from office, realizing that his impeachment was almost certain. He said he quit because the investigations would consume all his energy at a time when the nation need the President to focus on peace abroad and the nations economic difficulties.

I'm pretty sure he was never impeached. And he wasn't the crook, others did the break in, he just tried to cover for them.
He was a stand up guy.
He set the stage for Presidents like Reagan to win the cold war.
Nixon made the world a safer place, he was a great president.

Yep Ill give you that, he was never officially impeached because he left his post before he could be so he could retire with presidential benefits like a pension and secret service.
He set the stage for making the Republican party looki like shitholes back in the 70s

Winning the cold war was more important than watergate and he will be remembered for his very important input.
These facts make him a great president.

See, I tried.
I tried to speak to you in a calm tone with no name calling.
I laid out the facts and you come back with this gibberish. So now the USA didn't win the cold war. It was just the USSR imploding on itself because it was a "sucky ass piece of shit failure of a goverment" The fact that what Nixon did with China trumped a move by the USSR to become very close partners with communist china. If that would have happened the USSR will still be here today and close friends with 2 or 3 billion? chinamen.
Its so much easier to call you a liberal scumbag and move on to the next thread.

If you tried to debate with no name calling and I did not notice its because of your endless pattern of replying to anything I say with "liberal scum" and the like.
If you want we can agree to not sling personal affronts for the rest of this thread and I will use only the kings english as well here on out, for as long as this thread stays active.
And while I feel nixon did help to normalize relations with China back in the early 70's, that does not by any means excuse his criminal behavior while in the Whitehouse.
Presidents are not immune to laws, and he seemed to think he was.
As a result he gave the republican party a black eye for years.
Oh and vietnam did go to hell as well, which didnt help

I did not argue any of your points.
All I'm saying is watergate is not the end all of Nixon. What he did with China resulted in an ENORMOUS positive effect on the world due to the fall of the USSR. Watergate, it can be argued, helped make this country stronger. It was bad for Nixon/repubs yes, but in the end just made these activities much harder to do.
Over all, looking at what Presidents accomplished important, positive things, Nixon will be at the top of the list.
He will be remembered as a great president and a major player in the downfall of the USSR.

Watergate and his leaving in disgrace will always overshadow anything Nixon has accomplished in my opinion.
Even the President needs to obey the laws of the land.
Ill admit that it greatly Irks me that Arnold is on the Republicans side, heading back to topic.
I am probably the mans hugest fan.
