The biggest surprise out of the book (for me anyways) is the fact that there was strong evidence that Richard Nixon was set up to take a fall or to discredit him.
I am sure he wasn't a perfect man & had his failings, but he was nowhere near what they say about him.
Suffice it to say that pwerful men helped get him into the highest office in the US & when he, like Kennedy before him, thought that he was going to call the shots, he found out later that it doesn't work that way.
Texas is the one State that was a seperate country before it joined the union & probably has a good a basis as any State to secede than other States.

Yes, I knew that about Nixon and no they don't call the shots. I agree with Gov. Bobby Jindal that the Republicans need to have their heads examined if they are thinking about running in 2016. We can't win the debate, how do they think we can win the WH? The main problem I see is the GOP Rhinos trying to silence the true conservatives. That keeps us divided in purpose. We aren't going to win on that account.

Yes, Texas has and always will be independent in our thinking. We lead the way in may ways. I think Gov. Perry is going to run again. Abbott is saying that he will not run against Perry, if he decides to do that. He's done really well for us even with the Texas Monthly and others pushing again him. lol

Do you know what year the book was written?
I may check with another library a town over from me and see
if they carry it. I really don't want to buy it.

Started reading it. Amazing how far back the Bush family goes, and how deeply they're involved in everything. I'm only a couple chapters in...have a loooooong way to go, and I'm already disgusted.

I am on the last 30 pages & it is due back this Friday.
Unfortunately, politics in general most days disgusts me.
