If you don't want to be treated like Nixon, don't be Nixon. He also forgets that Ford sucked.
"Jimmy Carter won the White House in 1976 by riding the wave of anger and disillusionment that followed Gerald Ford's pardon of Richard Nixon. Carter tapped into that anger with the slogan "I will never lie to you." An angry electorate, disgusted with Nixon, decided that was reason enough to give Carter the presidency. He won, in large part, because he made it clear that he wasn't Richard Nixon."

There is a lot of pain ahead. Grow a Victory Garden!
