But in general I see a lot of people bringing up Reagan and Nixon as people who "weren't that bad" or even looked on with nostalgia. That's how bad things are, that's how far right the Democrats have gone. That's how utterly dysfunctional, bought off and idiotic Washington has become.

I'm sickened by this.
