Now lets be honest .

Nixon also talked about using the IRS to audit his political enemies. But he only talked about it, he never did it.

Obama did use the IRS to target Americans who opposed his socialist policies.

Count two of Nixon's Articles of Impeachment dealt with abusing the powers of the IRS...
 
I seem to have pushed a number of hot buttons lately. Once I put sangha on my "ignore" list that freed up a lot of time.:2dance:

I don't use ignore lists. I just see what's happening on the Spy page and self ignore... :mrgreen:
 
Well I'm not very good with this history as I was too young then, but didn' Nixon at least defend the Embassy that was attacked in Vietnam?

There was no alternative but to do so...
 
Really? He could have blamed it on a video?

As was the case in Benghazi, reality on the ground made the choice obvious. It's a shame we now don't have the backbone to back our overseas operations due to political reasons...

When I started reading Nixon's Articles of Impeachment I thought I was reading Obama's Articles of Impeachment and they left out 90 % of Obama's crimes. Then I looked at the top and saw Nixon's name.

Article ll of Nixon's Articles of Impeachment only made a claim that was never proven. Obama has already admitted that the IRS under his Department of Treasury has targeted conservatives.

Obama really should hire a lawyer to be his spoke hole so he doesn't incriminate himself any further.

Articles of Impeachment of Barack Obama should be introduced in Congress with only one charge, dereliction of duty as Cn'C.

At least you read them. Kudos...

Thank you for the compliment AlabamaPaul.

Even though you didn't provide a link, I took it upon myself to re-read Nixon's Articles of Impeachment because it's been over thirty years since I read them.

As for impeachment, it's no different than a county grand jury. It's not the job of the grand jury to weigh the evidence. It's their job to decide if the prosecution has a case to go to trial.

Many legal scholars believe that Nixon would have prevailed in the House and if he didn't he would have been found not guilty in the Senate. But then again there were just as many legal scholars who say the opposite.

I knew many Republicans back then who believed that Nixon should have allowed himself to be impeached and then fight the charges in the Senate. When Nixon resigned those Republicans turned on Nixon saying he was a pantywaist who didn't have a pair.

I think Nixon did the honorable thing by resigning. We were out of Vietnam and those wounds were deep and still bleeding and fighting the charges would only cause those wounds to become infected.
