"Nixonian Palace Guard Now Protects Hillary"

[warrprayer]

"It has taken almost 50 years, but the Democrats have finally found their inner Nixon. Make no mistake about it: Hillary Clinton is the most Nixonian figure in the post-Watergate period. Indeed, Democrats appear to have reached the type of moral compromise that Nixon waited, unsuccessfully, for Republicans to accept: Some 71% of Democrats want Clinton to run even if indicted."

1. If her policies

were as far-left as Nixon's she'd be less vomitus.

2. The author of the op in USA Today

Is an interesting guy.


"While Obama could be criticized for embracing Nixon’s imperial presidency model, his personality could not be more different from his predecessor. Clinton however is the whole Nixonian package. On a policy level, her predilection for using executive and military power is even coupled with praise for (and from) Nixon’s secretary of State, Henry Kissinger. However, it is on a personality level that the comparison is so striking and so unnerving. Clinton, like Nixon, is known to be both secretive and evasive. She seems to have a compulsive resistance to simply acknowledging conflicting facts or changes in position. She only makes admissions against interest when there is no alternative to acknowledging the truth in a controversy."

3. I remember Turley on Olbermann speaking out against Bush's unconstitutional practices such as

torture, rendition, and spying on American citizens. He was definitely a good guy then.

4. It appears he defended whistleblowers

This does not bode well for a Hillary Presidency.

"When moderator Anderson Cooper asked Clinton whether she regretted voting for the Patriot Act, she gave a flat: “No.” "

"
Sanders – who voted against the act multiple times, including against its original incarnation in thehttp://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/oct/13/clinton-sanders-snowden-nsa-democratic-debate House of Representatives – said unequivocally that he would end bulk data collection by the NSA."
