Nixon -unlike George W. Bush (whom I know many are going to pick anyway) he threatened the very institutions of our democracy through his actions that led up to Watergate.

As opposed to Bush, who (together with Cheney) committed crimes on several occasions with no regrets.

Taking your partisan blinders off for a moment -what crimes did he commit that would outweigh those of Nixon?

How on earth is the answer anything but Nixon?

Because most of the participants here don't remember his presidency first hand, whereas with George W. Bush, his presidency is still (frighteningly) recent.

As for myself, I wasn't alive during Nixon's time in the White House either, but I am trying to keep perspective here.
