Rah: Possibly.

Kuci: Nixon was so corrupt he was forced from office. The only President so condemned in US history. What makes you say he was a great President? Were you alive during his years in office? He was a genuine hypocrite and used Government agencies to serve his own ends on a scale never seen before or since.

Yes, I actually had the privledge to vote for him in my first presidential election.

His dealings with CHINA were considered historic at the time. He also had the Vietnam war to deal with. I don't think he was any more corrupt than his contempories. JFK was not the saint that he was portrayed as. It would have been interesting to see how history would think of him if he hadn't been shot. To this day I still believe that Nixon was a good president. He may have been a bigoted ass-hole but being an ass is almost a prerequisite of being a good president. Good men like carter, ford, bush I weren't reelected for a good reason.
