I lived through Nixon too.

Texas is still paying for what he brought to the party and that 'Le Coiffure' (Perry) has continued, and then he carried the same load of carrion to the national level.

>>The major networks (with the exception of FoxNews) have tried to make him fail for years. The entertainment industry (the same bigmouths that are pushing for socialism now) have been publicly pushing failure for years. Democrats in Congress have been hoping for failure (and have been able to leverage their positions to try to make it happen). Same ones who are pushing for Obama now.
