(41,631 posts)I was just reaching the age where I was old enough to vote. In the 1972 presidential election I voted for the first time, and I already hated Nixon for extending the Vietnam War even though he had promised he would end it. That's how he got elected in 1968, and the Vietnam War was still in full play by '72. (If Nixon hadn't resigned in disgrace, it probably would have gone on even longer.)
THEN Watergate happened - even though the hearings weren't until 2 years later, we already had the news of the Watergate break-in during the summer of 1972. Woodward and Bernstein were publishing their stories and pursuing the evil stench of the Repukes before the election, but it seemed like nobody was paying attention. I did! I was already onto the Repukes' lying, their schemes, their greed and grift. I vowed that I'd never vote for a Repuke, and since '72 I never have.
Yes they are as you say - morally bankrupt traitors! Now in 2022 it's even worse than it was in 1976, and it will never get better.
