#1 Becuz when former POTUS Jimbo Carter "tried to do the right thing" in his time, the Soviets invaded Afghanistan, besides other thingys, + deep unilateral US concessions from Jimbo + Admin. weren't enough to motivate the Soviets to peaceable-like pack up their Troops, Tanks + go back home.

#2 One difference - the lies Nixon got in trouble for were not for his own benefit, but in defense of his team. And had Nixon just thrown his people under the bus like Zero does he'd have finished out his term.

#3 In retrospect, the Democrats of Nixon's time were terrified to incontinence that Nixon was going to start a major investigation into "Who lost Vietnam?", which would have just annihilated the radical wing of the Democratic party.

To counter this, the whole Watergate affair was started over a petty act by some underlings, puffed into a giant balloon. And still Nixon did nothing to counterattack, so the Democrats pressed on.

At almost any point, had he even mentioned a Vietnam investigation, the Democrats would have gladly horse traded away Watergate for a song.

#4 Even though he said he voted for Barack Obama for president in 2008 and probably will do so again next year...

Whooaa...hold the bus there Danny. First, you specualate that the President is so ethically challenged that his war time decisions are motivated from selfish power lust. Then you advance the notion that he isn't just fudging the facts but that he's an outright lier. OK, well your certainly welcome to your opinions. In fact, alotta folks believe the same thing. But let's get this straight. Your still gonna vote for the guy? What no true anti-war type primary challenger? Hey, hows 'bout a true Taftian Pub like Ron Paul...no?
Yeah...we can see why your such a hero to the subversive left.
