I wish someone would do a huge survey that attaches Reagan's legacy to Obama

then ask Republican's what they think about it. You know, that wonderful legacy that:

A. Raised taxes numerous times

B. Added nearly three trillion to the National Debt

C. Amnesty to illegal aliens


Probably better to leave off things like Iran Contra because a small number of Republican's would know that was Reagan. You can tell Tea Baggers this stuff all day and yet they forgive Reagan. But had he been black and a Dem? The shit would have hit the fan!

The survey where Republican's blame Obama for Katrina is what got me thinking about this.

It's not easy to correct misinformation in people like that. I once had a conversation with someone who fell into that group, and at the end of an hour, any facts I presented were dismissed as just my opinion.

You can literally walk away feeling you lost because they are so far out in left field it's to the point of insanity.

Reminds me of this quote: "Don’t argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".

I have learned to just nod and then walk away now.

that Obama is the black Reagan.

They're already equal in dismissing the left.
