The followup to this is that cabal of posters that seems to fetishize Nixon as the "sane Republican" and then goes onto view him as greater than Reagan by mere process of deciding which one matches up with their political matrix score more. Also, it must be noted that if you hate Reagan, the natural thing would be to hate as well the man who laid the foundations for the approaching Republican resurgence.
Ah, the whole "Nixon was a moderate" meme.
Yes, there was nothing moderate about Nixon, only craven oppurtunism, which gets confused with being "moderate".
