Anything good Nixon did is forgotten and rarely mentioned (usually by a liberal these days).<br /><br />And I don't think justice can ever occur in Washington, D.C. Not for a Democrat who screws up and not for a Republican.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18171427857308042830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18677418.post-52488434310387004342006-12-29T09:50:00.000-07:002006-12-29T09:50:00.000-07:00In a way, President Nixon did pay for his mistakes...In a way, President Nixon did pay for his mistakes. He lost the presidency and his legacy, probably the two most important things to any president.<br /><br />But I think you bring up some good points. Would the US have been better off if our president was sent to jail? Or is it better off because we were able to "move on"? Part of me tends to think that the country would have been better overall if he had not been pardoned. Something akin to the "cleansing" your liberal blog commenter wrote about. Perhaps that would have set a better precedent for future holders of the office of the president. Maybe government would be held in higher regard and even trusted a little bit if President Nixon had been held more accountable for his misdeeds.<br /><br />However, perhaps there is a component missing in this argument. With the partisan nature of Washington DC, can true justice ever be attained?Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06016275707476655364noreply@blogger.com
