Nixon, man..you were really an amateur when it came to lying. Now, when Truman identified Tokyo to the American people as a "military target" and killed nearly 100,000 people in minutes..now that was a real, knowing lie. JFK, RFK..the myriad affairs while parading themselves as good Catholic's, their still-standing record for
unauthorized wiretaps, including MLK..the stolen elections..a family built on lies.
Reagan and Iran Contra..George H.W. Bush and Iran Contra..lies, lies and more lies...many historians say a far greater challenge to the Constituion than Watergate ever was. Hillary and Bill..Whitewater, Monica, their charade of a "marriage"..like the Kennedy's..lives built on lies. Bush/Cheney...well, they're in a league all their own...the truth is totally foreign to both of them. Nixon, man..the press always characterized you as a liar, because they hated you, when really, you were very run-of-the mill when it comes to deception.
Remember what David Geffen, one of the Clinton's former friends said..."It's not just that the Clinton's lie..it's that they do it with such ease." Think about it Dick..you sweat through every lie..I guess that means that while you weren't as cool at the Kennedy's or Clinton's..at least you had a conscience.

Dick, I still don’t believe you got impeached over a single break into an office suite…
If you just told them impeachment would mean the communists won…
They dared to impeach a leader of free world at the peak of the Cold War?!
Richard, why did you hand the tapes over?
If you kept Vietnam War going on, nobody would impeach you…
Listen George, my Democrats weren’t as scared as yours…
W, they did it for the old Democrats still had a backbone…
W, during my impeachment the media were really independent…
W, ending the war, protecting the US jobs and respect for Constitution weren’t at my time some partisan gimmicks but the patriotic moves…

We hold these truths to be self-evident!
Apparently there's some paper that says we're supposed to check with Congress or the Supreme Court about some things.
It's just not in our constitution...
Apparently there are two other branches of government that don't appreciate us going out on a limb.
