Are you saying that no Democrats have?
I was just a kid and only remember family members with Ford stickers so i don't have your history.
But is this a misquote then? "Unlike many of us at the time, President Ford recognized that the nation had to move forward, and could not do so if there was a continuing effort to prosecute former President Nixon," Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., who opposed the pardon at the time, said in 2001 as he awarded Ford a "Profile in Courage" award for leaders who make unpopular but correct decisions. "So President Ford made a courageous decision."

Did I say any or all Democrats hadn't?
Did I say all Republicans had?
No
I said History hadn't, last check Teddy Kennedy wasn't history.
I also don't see forgiveness in that quote, I see understanding of circumstances from the perspective of a politician fighting new fights.

Mom was telling me about this article in the Washington Post, where Ford told Woodward that he strongly opposed the justifications for the war in Iraq:

Also, don't forget that it was Ford who appointed John Paul Stevens to the Supreme Court. I think he was pretty moderate compared to most republican presidents.

I saw Kennedy's quote differently. I suppose I assumed too much inuendo in your post.
I need to view this blog through less polarized glasses.

Innuendo?
My post was quite short.
