#1 they're likely to end up with a narrow view and a feeling that the whole world is out to get them.

In addition to simple paranoia, it can also lead to aloofness, arrogance, feelings of superiority, acute chip-on-shoulder, cult victim or 'you owe me' syndrone, group think, and other more serious non-treatable dimentia such as racism.

#3 No question in my mind that Obama is governing in Nixon's paranoid style.

#4 I don't understand Alexander. How can they not do something that they have already done? And they are increditably open about it. The Senator needs to move on to the next phase of the conversation.

#6 I don't understand Alexander. How can they not do something that they have already done?

I don't think he's expecting Obama to actually listen to him. He's planting a meme. He wants people to start associating the concept of "Nixon" and "paranoia" with the concept of "Obama."

#7 Nixon?? Look more closely at UK politics, he's more like Brown.

Never worked in a real Job.
Jinxed.
Chip on Shoulder.
Paranoid.
Narcissist.

#8 Pebbles, does not matter, people know little of Brown, but know a lot of Nixon. A shrewd meme plant.
