Debunking the Reagan Myth (page 3)

Are you (the country) better now than 8 years ago? If you say yes, you need to put some new batteries in your calculator and get better reading glasses.

You can't argue what it is today. It's a freaking mess.

I just wonder if the debt will ever be paid off. It looks more like an endless spiral.

Now does it matter just what party is running the country right now? If it was Gore and co. I would feel the same way. Line 'em up and shoot them all.

Republicans sometimes remind me of JW's. No matter what, they are God's chosen politicians. Sure they are.

Dawg: why do you hate America? Are you kidding me? Whatever happened to free speech? Just because someone is unhappy about a part of the country does not mean hate! To the contrary, it means the opposite. Anyone criticizing a conservative viewpoint , out comes the "hate your country" crap. Utter nonsense.

Again you know your a crap president when the racist S.O.B. who got you into office in the first place bails on you because you don't care about the common American people. Unfortunately Dave it is you who are delusional. It's like there was this Reagan fad for a couple of years all because of how horrible Bush II was. All these republicans had to resort to the only memory they had of a republican who wasn't Nixon or Bush in office which was Reagan, so to keep the republican's afloat they inflated Reagan's worth. They would have touted Bush I if ol' sonny boy wasn't so shitty. Of course at this point Reagan was dying/Alzheimer's/dead so no one in the media had the balls to call out these pandering jerks, so all of the right saw the opportunity and ran with it. When he died I said, "Good riddance to bad rubbish". I am just glad I am young enough to see him for what he was a old hollywood hack.

Reagan The Great:

He brushes off the Krugmans like the fleas they are.

Reagan looks down on Burger Time and smiles, pulls a silken pearly white kerchief and wipes the little foamy bit of drool from Burger's chin.

Dawg,
Why do you hate America?

Why do you beat your wife Burn the Ships?

Dawg,
Why do you hate America?
Why do you beat your wife Burn the Ships?

Why do you kick puppies 5g0?

Why do you beat your wife Burn the Ships?

I see you are not aware of the fallacy of a loaded question let me enlighten you.

loaded question

A loaded question is a question with a false or questionable presupposition, and it is "loaded" with that presumption.

The question "Have you stopped beating your wife?" is a loaded question that presupposes that you have beaten your wife prior to its asking, as well as that you have a wife. If you are unmarried, or have never beaten your wife, then the question is loaded.

Reagan led us away from the morass of (Misery Index) Carter.

I asked very distinctly what Reagan's presidency did that was good for america, if you can't name it and yet you think Reagan as an icon, or even should be in anyway admired, then anything you say after that is of course...IGNORED!

Please explain what he did that made the US stronger, anything that you can point to that will one day be looked back on and years from now people will say...boy, I'm glad for that man Ronald Reagan...no responses, just ad hominem attacks. Typical for those that are partisan and not patriots.

Sorry if the questions asked are too hard for you Republicans, but I'm really quite used to it... don't take it personal, but those that support policies that are destroying this country are NOT patriots. Can you tell me why you think you're patriotic and yet support policies and men that have played a part in destroying it? Didn't think so...

So, if you think the ending of the cold war can be attributed to Reagan, even after reading what I wrote and the web site link, then tell me Republicans, do you think Jimmy Carter wouldn't have bargained with Gorbachev? My answer to that is "of course he would have"... Reagan didn't end the cold war, Gorbachev did, Reagan came along for the ride, and histroy will always rememebr that for the truth that it is... Reagan ruined this country with debt... we will never fully recover...

You see, standing before a flag with your hand on your heart doesn't make you a patriot if what you did after that brought about the suffering sure to come... landing an airplane on a carrier and waving the flag, declaring victory doesn't make you a patriot... Bush should be in jail, plain and simple...and Reagan is no icon just becasue you have a few photos of him standing before a flag...

JUst look at your responses, childlike...simpletons and childlike... but I've come to understand that about Republicans, by far the worst of all the worst parties....not that any of them are correct, but you Republicans should be ashamed. Yet the real problem can be defined in last night's Democratic debate where they argued who has the least influence from Lobbiests...please! This uis the problem, this country is partisian and not seeing the real problem, and that's money influencing our politicians....plain and simple...
