That's true, now that we're though the ice age everyone was predicting in the 70s it'll be the warm age.

The 70's?

Really?

Is that the best you can come up with Pete?

I was a Nixon voting conservative back in those days.

Tricked by Dick, fooled by Ron.

IIRC Nixon was a moderate.

Ron did not fool anyone; he said it would trickle down.

That is: just look for a little, if any...you knew what he was about.

I agree.

I'd say Nixon was to the left of Obama.

Probably true. He created OSHA and the EPA, after all. Beyond that, he cozied up to the Chinese commies.

And how about this:

Quote:
In February 1974, Republican President Richard Nixon proposed, in essence, today’s Affordable Care Act. Under Nixon’s plan all but the smallest employers would provide insurance to their workers or pay a penalty, an expanded Medicaid-type program would insure the poor, and subsidies would be provided to low-income individuals and small employers. Sound familiar?

Private insurers were delighted with the Nixon plan but Democrats preferred a system based on Social Security and Medicare, and the two sides failed to agree.

Thirty years later a Republican governor, Mitt Romney, made Nixon’s plan the law in Massachusetts. Private insurers couldn’t have been happier although many Democrats in the state had hoped for a public system.
