Richard Nixon ended the Vietnam War, supported affirmative action, created the EPA and was sympathetic to environmental issues, eased relations with the former Soviet Union, oversaw a prosperous economy and took a middle-of-the-road approach when it came to domestic issues.Tonight, when Democrats retake the U.S. House of Representatives with some candidates far more conservative than the "he now looks liberal" Tricky Dick, please remember that we still need Nixon, now more than ever.
Somewhere, either looking down from heaven or up from the fiery depths, I can only imagine that Richard Nixon is swilling a double scotch, prepared for him lovingly by Pat, and shaking his head.
