Well I'm sure he would have ended quite a few of Roosevelt and Johnson's programs if he could have, but that wasn't a possibility with a Democrat controlled congress. Welfare created a black underclass? riiiight ustwo, couldn't have had anything to do with the previous 400 years of history...Glad you find this thread so uninteresting that you've replied 7+ times, that's just the kind of disinterest this board needs more of!
back on topic: W. Felt seems to regret having snitched out his superiors, but clearly it was the right thing to do. He could have gone public long ago and reaped all kinds of promotions, book deals, etc but his secrecy speaks to the nobility of his motivations.
The million dollar question is, of course, whether Nixon would have won in '72 without the Watergate break in.
