Nixon was my first hated Republican! The Vietnam years were excruciating (the boy who sat behind me in 7th grade was killed). Watergate! Going through those horrible, nightmare feelings now is just as bad, as it was then. The GOP doesn't seem to notice what we the people are experiencing....they are very self-centered!
