I was 22 when Watergate started. I did not particularly love Nixon (although many of his policies I liked) it seemed at the time the national media just was not interested in Watergate. There were just these two reporters that kept hammering at it. Later it came out Nixon had an enemies list and sicked the IRS on them. Nixon actually had no involvement in the Watergate break in. Only later in covering up what had happened. Stonewalling was the tactic that Nixon's group used to slow everything down. The truth seemed to come out at a snails pace, with the President not wanting to come clean on what had really happened. At one point Nixon faked a supposed Russian attack or something like that, just to try and take everyone's eyes off the ball.
Most everyone who was my age or older remembers all of this. The press may have smelled blood in the water today. The bloom may be off the rose. Things may have changed today. We will see.
I know the democrats wished now they had a stronger vice president.
Gun control will be off the front page for a while.

Re: IRS APOLOGIZES FOR TARGETING TEA PARTY GROUPS
What I find the most interesting in recent news regarding the current government is that it tends to confirm all the tin hat conspiracy theories.
Here is an loosely knit group of individuals whose only goal is smaller government and more freedom. The government's reaction is to place them under greater scrutiny than other groups. Even though such an action is with out question illegally in violation of the charter of that same government.
At the same time that same government wants to regulate and register all guns.
At the same time that same government wants to restrict the freedom of speech regarding a simple home made gun.
At the same time that same government has switched from a simple paper ballot with auditing capabilities to a complicated computerized system with no auditing capabilities.
At the same time that same government has encouraged many in the population to go on the public dole, so as to be permanently dependent on that same government.
At the same time that same government supports a policy of allowing undocumented aliens to vote, at the same time supporting a policy of amnesty for these same people.
Naaw. All in my head.
