don't feel too bad; Nixon was quite the liberal: - Created the EPA; - Opened up Red China; - Was responsible for Affirmative Action; - Initiated wage and price freezes (a very liberal thing to do); - Said: when you run for the Republican nomination, you run far right of center; when you run for president you run right of center; when you govern, you govern from the center. However, Nixon governed from the left. He was MUCH more liberal, of course, than Bill Clinton who oversaw a veritable Conservative Agenda which he wholeheartedly subscribed to and supported. That's why I am amused when arch-liberal Judy Stein is unwavering in her support of Clinton who was anything but a liberal (except perhaps in his patronage appointments). Judy defends Clinton at every chance she gets but he was anathema to pretty much everything she stands for.
