Hear Them Roar

The Wonkette left joins the reactors to Ben Stein on Nixon, Felt, and Cambodia. Plus: Throwing Danica’s weight around.

(Page 3 of 23)

Ben hit the nail right on the head. Why is it that the rest of the world cannot see this? You ask people why Nixon was impeached. They answer because of Watergate... that terrible... dreadful Watergate. Yet NOBODY thinks it's terrible or dreadful that Hillary made off with 400 FBI files. That's okay. And, why is it that the Watergate files were stolen? What information were they seeking? If I recall, it was just so that Nixon could find out what they were saying about him.

p>On the other hand, don't you have to wonder why those 400 FBI files were taken? And, I personally wonder if that isn't the reason DeWine and Voinovich, Senators from my state of Ohio, didn't betray the GOP. Was there something in those files that the Democrats had on those two that made them turn on President Bush? Guess we will never know unless another upstanding Deep Throat "who only has the good of this country at heart" steps forward. br> -- Sharon C. Gingerich /p>

Another observation that relates to the political landscape today since then is that there are many sorts of Republicans in the big tent from the "vast right wing" clear to those leaning liberal, particularly in the Northeast and others in pockets of the nation, some of whom are commonly known as RINO republicans. In contrast, if you look at the (so called) Democratic Party you will be hard pressed to find even one conservative member such as the outgoing Zell Miller. Indeed, the Democratic Party knows but one step to march in and that is to be out of step with the majority of America. All this despite the massive effort to make it politically incorrect to verbalize support of our late President Richard M. Nixon.

p>May God Continue to Bless America! br> -- Kathy Jamison /p>

While I appreciate Mr. Stein's missive, I felt that there was some fault of logic in his thinking. Not being a philosophy major, I would not know but it does seem that "A" doesn't necessarily lead to "B."
