For four years this administration has had at its disposal the greatest military and economic advantage that one nation has ever had over another in a war in history. For four years America’s fighting men have set a record for courage and sacrifice unsurpassed in our history. For four years this Administration has had the support of the loyal opposition for the objective of seeking an honorable end to the struggle.
Never has so much military and economic and diplomatic power been used so ineffectively. And if after all of this time, and all of this sacrifice, and all of this support, there is still no end in sight, then I say the time has come for the American people to turn to new leadership not tied to the mistakes and policies of the past. That is what we offer to America.
It’s from Richard Nixon’s 1968 Nomination Acceptence Speech.

Oh - and Nixon was going to bring Honest Government BACK to the White House.
or not…
Conservatives think America is a Christian nation… Liberals think America ought to act like one.
