"We saw what happened the first time we entrusted the White House to a person with behavioral traits like this."

Yes, it was pure hell:

1)The end of the Vietnam War
2) Opening to China
3) Stability among the major nations in the Middle East
4) A weaker USSR
5) A decrease in nuclear weapons around the world

Yes, he wasn't perfect, but no president is, was, or will ever be. We'd be lucky to have another Nixon.

And fiscally, even more liberal than Bush.
