Watergate Election Analysis

Seven men involved in the Watergate break-in, a break-in of the Democratic National Committee's headquarters located in the Watergate complex, were indicted by a federal grand jury. President Richard Nixon was named by the grand jury as an unindicted co-conspirator. Archibald Cox, who had been appointed as special prosecutor to investigate the Watergate affair, obtained a subpoena that required President Nixon to deliver to the district court tape recordings of his meetings with various assistants. The president released certain edited versions of the tapes to the public, but refused to yield the full transcripts to the district cou

As a nation, America has seen its fair share of corrupt executive administrations. Whether it be the Whiskey Ring scandal under President Grant or the Teapot Dome scandal under President Harding, Americans are no strangers to scandal. However, Watergate is different. In June of 1972, five men (revealed to be working for CREEP) were arrested in the Watergate apartment complex after a bungled effort to plant “bugs” in the Democratic Party headquarters. While Nixon denied any accusations of his involvement, it was soon revealed in subpoenaed tapes from the Oval Office that not only did Nixon know about the break-in, he endorsed it.

As the election creeps increasingly closer nervous liberal onlookers had all their attention on the Democratic National Convention. On Monday, the 25th of July, Bernie Sanders approached the podium in the Philadelphia Convention Center to deliver his much anticipated speech. Although a formal announcement had not been made on the nominee, most individuals knew that the race was all but over for Mr. Sanders. With that being said, the audience which was overflowing with liberals, could not have been more upset with the imminent nomination outcome. The audience 's age gap varied but many of the crowd were in the 20-40 year old bracket. Given these points, my decision on the success of Sanders rhetoric will be given at the end of this paper.

This was a major victory that inspired the U.S to have confidence with foreign threats to our security and our

The Watergate Scandal was the downfall of Richard Nixon. It made Americans put less trust in the government and built trust in the media. It all takes place at the Watergate Hotel. He led an extremely corrupt administration to get him re elected. He also was the first President to resign. The unethical organization that was formed was called the CRP (later creep). They helped Nixon get re elected in 1972. They used illegal tactics to get him re elected. They paid lawyers for the burglars who broke into the Watergate Hotel. These people were known as the Plumbers. That was directed by John Ehrlichman. They were the White House investigation unit. They prevented information leak and burglarize any of Nixon reveals. Watergate seven was Richard Nixon closest comrades. They were in charge of the Creep and the plumbers that carried out many illegal activities. Christ the Transformer of Business culture is a good trait to obtain. “These people are intimately involved with those in the business, but their distinctive Christian standards are not lost” (Ruddell, 2004, p. 40). The people that were involved in the Watergate scandal should have had this trait.

Richard M. Nixon was a former vice president who barely won the election in 1968 against Hubert Humphrey for the Republican party. Once in his presidency, President Nixon pleased and displeased citizens in the United States. He was not necessarily the most liked president, but he was not the most disliked either. By 1972, it was time for the

And how did the President handle them? I remember that he had an affair with an intern, and lied about it consistently. I think the person in charge of the country should be above reproach because their actions represent our country, and he dishonored his country, his wife, and his daughter.

Under the watchful guidance of President Bill Clinton and the Democratic Party, America is finally moving in the right direction. In 1996, we, the Democratic Party, adopted and enacted a platform that has reinvigorated the

Watergate is the popular name for the political scandal and constitutional crisis that began with the arrest of five burglars who broke into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office in Washington D.C. on the night of June 17, 1972. It ended with the resignation of president Richard M. Nixon. The burglars and two co-potters-G. Gordon Liddy and E. Howard Hunt were indicated on charges of burglary, conspiracy, and wiretapping. Four monthes later, they were convicted and sentenced to prison terms by District Court Judge John J. Sirica, who was convicted that pertinent details had not been unveiled during the trial and proffered leniency in exchange for further information. As it

Many people, myself included look up to individuals in an authoritative role such as; senators, governors, and presidents. We view them as being honest and sincere. They have to be right? They do want to run the country after all. Often our thoughts are “they would never lie to us or hide things from us”, but unfortunately that’s not always the case. One of the biggest political scandals to hit the United States of America was the Watergate scandal involving our very own President Richard Nixon. This scandal caused a lot of American’s to lose trust and hope in the presidency. The scandal received its name from the Watergate apartment and office complex that was located in Washington D.C., where a burglary took place on June 17, 1972 and five men were arrested. It then came to surface that the men’s intentions were to sabotage the opposite political party, when president Nixon was notified of this he order the Central Intelligence Agency to call the FBI to stop with any further investigation, that national security was at stake. President Nixon knew that it would come back to the White House and didn’t want to risk anything, even though he was never involved with the

For almost 200 years the American public viewed their government and its chief executive with virtual reverence. Presidents like George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy were the embodiment of every principle and value set forth in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. The events that occurred in Vietnam coupled with the Watergate scandal shocked the nation and irreparably damaged the publics’ view of politics and government activities. The release of the Pentagon papers

Everyday citizens often live unaware of their government’s inner workings. The knowing of political espionage is often too heavy of a subject to be inducted in conversation. True, prima facie, modest twists and turns of information may not be considered substantial, but this inconsideration leaves much to be uncontrolled. It is easy for political leaders to become power crazed, to not realize the massive implications that come of their actions. Only after all is said and done do the people actually realize their government is an opaque mask of deception. The Watergate Scandal substantially impacted Americans’ trust in their government.

My take on this is that you said it to prevent other women and/or attorneys from coming forward in an attempt to smear your reputation before the election; and that any further smears will be dealt with through the courts. Great idea; but, please do not let the salacious rumors, no doubt perpetrated by the Clinton camp, get in the way of explaining your plan to Make America Great Again

Thank you so much. You know, it's hard to believe that it has been eight years since I first came to this convention to talk with you about why I thought my husband should be President. Remember how I told you about his character and conviction, his decency and his grace — the traits that we've seen every day that he's served our country in the White House.

After gathering the American people’s attention, Obama states the “heroic work of our military and our counterterrorism professionals.” Generally he tells the American people that they made lots of progress on the war on terrorism. He says “our” because it tells the American people their efforts weren’t futile. He also uses this term to show the American people are part of the war on terrorism. Constantly using words of unity, Obama uses a mixture of ethos and pathos. He makes
