Nixon was the beginning of people not trusting politics.

Nixon represents that dark, venal and incurably violent side of the American character almost every other country in the world has learned to fear and despise.

I greatly blame Congress, spurred on by its personal hatred of Nixon, for passing legislation in June through August of '73 which embargoed any further U.S. help to South Vietnam.

Experience helped Richard Nixon, but it didn't save him, and it certainly wasn't a blanket endorsement. He blundered terribly in dealing with Vietnam.

The number of illegal activities were so large that one was bound to come out and lead to the uncovering of the others. Nixon was too willing to use the power of government to settle scores and get even with enemies.

I never believed that Nixon could fully resurrect himself. And the proof of that was in the obits.

Nixon probably was a nice guy.

Even the most cynical can hardly be surprised by the antics of Nixon and his accomplices as they are gradually revealed. It matters little, at this point, where the exact truth lies in the maze of perjury, evasion, and of contempt for the normal - hardly inspiring - standards of political conduct.

While he was president, it was popular to be a Nixon hater.
