Why I am supporting NIXON in '08

[no name no slogan]

* He's got a great "universal" health care plan. It doesn't provide universal coverage, but it mandates that EVERYBODY has to buy their own health insurance-- OR ELSE. Better yet, his plan's been around since 1974, so you know it's stood the test of time!

* He's got a "secret plan" to end the unpopular war in Asia. He won't just pull our troops out, because "we broke it, we fix it", right? He'll not only prolong the occupation for at least another five years, but also bomb Iraq's antagonistic neighbor (Cambodia, Iran, I forget what it's called). More troops to fight a losing battle, that's what we need!

* Nixon has a tremendous welfare reform plan that makes welfare queens take any job-- that's right, ANY JOB-- that's available, even if it pays sub-poverty wages-- just like the great Clinton "welfare reform" plan of 1996. Nixon's Family Assistance Plan is an idea whose time has come!

Not only that, unlike the other candidates, he's already won TWO presidential elections! He's a politician who knows how to win-- because winning isn't everything, it's the ONLY thing!

It's time to put a real Dick back in the White House


NIXON NOW!

[demnan]

1. Then can we put impeachment back on the table?

n/t

[no name no slogan]

2. I think so-- but can the undead be impeached?

Constitutional crisis, indeed

[Kurovski]

11. Maybe that's the problem with Cheney?

"Impeachment is off the embalming table."

13. ...

[NYCGirl]

[no name no slogan]

4. Dig 'im

[NYCGirl]

5. LOL! And he does have a great movie coming out next year...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0870111/

Saw it on Broadway — it'll bring Dickie back with a vengeance!

[no name no slogan]

6. Oh yeah! Think of the tie-ins!

I'm sure he'll be on all the talk shows too!

[NYCGirl]

7. Check out this from YouTube I found after seeing Frost/Nixon.

I think the entire interview series is available on DVD.

16. Sadly enough, I'm old enough to remember some of these

but in the interest of full disclosure, I was only in the single digits age-wise, AND I was a weird little kid who followed politics in grade school.

[NYCGirl]

30. I'm older than you, nnns, and I remember those interviews vividly!

That's pretty cool. My earliest recollection of politics was a "Madly for Adlai" Stevenson sticker on the front door of our house. And my parents worked in the SF campaign for JFK.

29. I watched Frost tell Nixon

"fold it 5 times and put it where the moon doesn't shine."

[Armstead]

8. At least he didn't come out vocally for the Iraq War

[no name no slogan]

9. Yes. Or at least that we know of

We still haven't consulted the paranormal activity community.

[rockybelt]

10. There is a real dick in the white house

Two of 'em in fact.

[no name no slogan]

12. But there won't be in January '09

Unless we put one back in

[rockybelt]

14. No, but there may still be bush in the WH

[no name no slogan]

15. can I get a rimshot please?

:D

[BeyondGeography]

17. Now if they would just stop taking those less than flattering photos when he's tired...

[no name no slogan]

18. Oh, almost forgot: Nixon's cuddly, too

[BeyondGeography]

20. I have high hopes for his "My Moment with Milhous" tour

cuz people need to discover the real Dick.

[no name no slogan]

22. Once you discover

the real Dick, no other can compare.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

19. As one who remembers Nixon well...

:rofl:

[no name no slogan]

21. Kind of sad to think

that many of our "leading" candidates are afraid to take positions to the left of a Republican president from the 1970s, isn't it? Ed Muskie is spinning in his grave

[RandmXs]

31. Nixon makes some look rather Pachydermish

Kind of sad to think that you are one of the few people on this site to even recognize that!

[no name no slogan]

32. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[sniffa]

23. you're lying

[no name no slogan]

24. Like hell I am

Why do you hate America?

[sniffa]

25. because it's filled with stoopid people

[no name no slogan]

26. Hmmm.... good point.

Lyndon LaRouche '08 :patriot:

[sniffa]

27. sorry, i'm backing McKinney/Nader

28. You're not just going for crazy, you're going for BATSHIT crazy

:thumbsup:

[roguenkatz]

33. He's tan rested and ready...

When asked for a quote on his party's platform, Nixon replied, "BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAINS!"
