My mom was a Democrat and I was scared to death that she was gonna blow it. First I was going to hell with Monroe, and now to Republican hell with Nixon.

I kept a very full diary of my relationship with Nixon, for some strange reason, until he became president.

When I was younger, I thought of myself as a Nixon Republican because he was the anti-Communist.

Even I felt sorry for Richard Nixon when he left; there's nothing you can do about being born liberal - fish gotta swim, and hearts gotta bleed.

Nixon probably was a nice guy.

I remember going through the cafeteria line and telling every kid that Nixon was in favor of school on Saturdays. It was my first political trick.

I'd walk over my own grandmother to re-elect Richard Nixon.

I became a Republican in the summer of 1972. I was involved in running President Nixon's re-election campaign in California and became part of his administration at the start of his second term.

I became a Republican when a very wise young lady asked me how I could remain a Democrat when I didn't agree with what they stood for and did agree with what the Republicans supported.

It was my sister Maureen who was responsible for my becoming a Reagan.
