Talk:Committee to Re-elect the President

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"CREEP" is the predominant term in the Watergate articles i saw, but there is no acknowledgement that (IIRC) this was never a term used by its supporters. It may predominate outside WP as well, but inside it, the PoV of the term (just as the effect is!) should be noted. E.g.

CREEP (as its many critics' usage has made the dominant term for what called itself CRP).

It may be but it's still partial. I think mentions of the Committee to Re-elect the President should have CRP unless in a specifically anti-Nixon context. Dbiv 22:21, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

CREEP may be derogatory, but it has become the generally used term - it's even in my history book, which I never saw mention CRP. CREEP is best known as the agency that planted bugs, monitored the democrats, and other "creepy" things. I think CREEP is accurate and generally accepted - CRP is a suprise to most people, I would guess.

Also, shouldn't this article just be a redirect to Watergate? It's kind of small, and in the Watergate article. --The Human Spellchecker 04:00, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
