He was guaranteed to win the election and only tapped the Democratic National Convention because he still wanted to know what they were saying/doing/planning.
a) he didn't tap anything or order anything to be tapped, he covered up for others once he realised what they'd done....
b) your point is hilariously absurd
Nixon was a vicious anti-semite, a crook and an all round bad person who permenantly damaged America
Ye gods, with such attitudes around no wonder Bush won two elections......Nixon lied to the Senate too......
oh and incidently more troops died in Nam under Nixon ''lets get our boys out' than under Johnson 'lets send more boys in'.....
but kudos to Nixon for authorising the carpet bombing of a city
Oh, really?
Nixon is noted for his diplomatic accomplishments in foreign policy, especially d?tente with the Soviet Union and China, and ending American involvement in the Vietnam War. He is also noted for his middle-of-the-road domestic policy that combined conservative rhetoric and, in many cases, liberal action, as in his civil rights, environmental and price control policies.
As President, Nixon imposed wage and price controls, indexed Social Security for inflation, and created Supplemental Security Income (SSI). The number of pages added to the Federal Register each year doubled under Nixon. He eradicated the last remnants of the gold standard. Nixon created the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), implemented the Philadelphia Plan, the first significant federal affirmative action program, and dramatically improved salaries for U.S. federal employees worldwide.
