Case study: Richard Nixon's Election promises In the 1968 Presidential campaign, Richard Nixon stated that "new leadership will end the war" in Vietnam. He never used the phrase "secret plan", which originated with a reporter looking for a lead to a story summarizing the Republican candidate's (hazy) promise to end the war without losing. When pressed for details, Nixon retreated to the position that to tip his hand would interfere with the negotiations that had begun in Paris. Nixon never disavowed the term.[1] In his own memoirs, Nixon stated he never claimed to have such a plan. [2][3] Nevertheless, Nixon's critics have continued to accuse him of campaigning on a "secret plan" to end the war. According to one historian, "it became obvious in 1969 that Nixon's 'secret plan' to end the war was a campaign gimmick..."[4] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electio...ction_promises

That I will never forgive... Also, Nixon's famous "I am not a crook" speech -- he resigned from the presidency shortly thereafter to avoid an impeachment.

NIXON: The only place where you and I disagree ... is with regard to the bombing. You're so goddamned concerned about civilians and I don't give a damn. I don't care. KISSINGER: I'm concerned about the civilians because I don't want the world to be mobilized against you as a butcher. conversation with Henry Kissinger as quoted in Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers

Nixon was just a sack of lying shit.
