1. Nixon never would have had to resign, Watergate is poppycock compared to this illegal war...

[redqueen]

2. Yup.

Shameful and sad.

Congress is FAR more corrupt now, obviously.

5. Pelosi would replace the tape on the door lock.

12. They wouldn't have needed tape!

The Dems would have just given Nixon the keys....

[TomInTib]

13. Unfortunately, I am afraid that you are right.

Probably would've erased the tapes for them, too.

6. There wouldn't have been a Watergate

This congress wouldn't have even gotten that far.

[librechik]

7. There would never even be hearings, because that would be off the table.

So even though these are BIGGER and more serious crimes, there will never be accountability.

Whew, that was close--Congress almost had to be a real check against the imperial power of the president! Good thing they scraped out of that one!

8. Actually it was Nixon's fellow Republicans who went to

him and told him they didn't have to votes to save his ass, so he had better resign. That doesn't appear to be the case now.

9. Republicans have happily given up their seats with Georgies guarantee of finanacial reward.

They may be losing the ropes of power but they are making a freaking KILLING off the treasures of this nation.

It's like a huge mafioso scheme!!!

10. What's pathetic is impeahing Bill for a BJ. and allowing Bush to make war for oil...

11. *bingo* n/t

14. Nixon would be on the 5 dollar bill
