Nixon was nothing compared to these thugs. Hell, he even managed to eventually end the damn war.

5. At least Nixon ran the government in a competent manner.

6. Nixon's crimes pale in comparison to Bush's

[hokies4ever]

7. Many people surveyed don't have a good basis for comparison

like me for example. I'm in my late 20's. Fact is that American History nowadays is taught with a VERY negative light of Nixon, so I'm not surprised that some people would say that Nixon is worse than Bush. Most people are taught that Nixon was pure evil, so even if you think that Bush is pure evil it might be viewed as a toss-up.

8. Bush is only worse

because he and his cronies don't even bother being shady.

Nixon probably didn't begrudge the average citizen being able to live and eat.

9. Nixon was incredibly shrewd and a brilliant guy....

of course he was evil...in his day he was scurrilous...but by today's standards he'd be run-of-the-mill in terms of dirty tricks. In terms of brain power, I don't think any of these repubs could have held candle to his prowess, literacy, and political 'genius' - whatever that really is in America.

10. I don't know why there is as many as 10%

12. I suspect that Bush Jr. will go down in history as THE worst US president. n/t
