The Nixon administration used all of our intelligence and law enforcement agencies to try to guarantee Nixon's 1972 reelection, while the Bush administration is trying to use all of our intelligence and law enforcement agencies to assure permanent Republican control of all the levers of our federal government. This is the only difference between the corrupt Nixon administration and the corrupt Bush administration, with the corrupt Bush executive branch and rubber stamp Republicans in Congress going far beyond what Nixon's administration attempted. I expect soon that the Bush administration will even find some pretext to declare martial law, seizing absolute, totalitarian, fascist control of our freedom-loving democracy...or at least they'll try. Even Nixon didn't try such a Communist, Kremlin-like stunt...but I wouldn't put anything past the corrupt Bush administration attempting to hold onto power.
