Have you any idea what Nixon did? How old were you when Watergate occurred? Me, I was already an adult, a veteran and married with two kids, so I can tell you that there was never a more disgraceful occupant of the White House, with the possible exception of Republican Warren G. Harding, than Richard M. Nixon.
By the way, you know why Nixon resigned? It wasn't because the Democrats hounded him pout of office. It was because principled Republicans - it wasn't an oxymoron then - told him he had to go. The House Judiciary Committee voted 27-11 in favor of impeachment. That included all of the Democrats and 6 of the 17 Republicans on the Committee. I think it's safe to say that something like that could never happen today.
Oh, and what exactly was it that Clinton did that was so terrible?
Your partisanship is really a serious impediment to your ability to actually think.
