On Ronald Reagan, where do you stand?

[Colobo]

Let's see where DU is at.

[jlake]

1. Puppet of the BFEE. Disgusting individual.

The fact that the GOP worships him should tip us off....

[MadBadger]

2. Katz, are you that 1 at the top?

[Colobo]

4. What?

I voted "neutral".

[Tulkas]

18. None Of The Above

I need something like .......

I never liked him and never supported him.


The "HATE HIM" option is to strong a statement for me.

[William769]

3. OTHER.

THE MOTHERFUCKER CAN ROT IN HELL FOR ALL ETERINTY!

Does that tell you what I think?

[jlake]

5. Amen to that!

[girl_interrupted]

12. Reagan had our CIA train bin laden as a "freedom fighter"

which turned out to be blowback for all of us. Everytime I pass Ground Zero, I think about that. Not to mention Reagan and Iran-Contra, ignoring the AID crisis and so much more. He sucked...."BIG TIME"

[William769]

17. Don't forget the 200 Marines that died in Lebanon because of RAYGUN!

[girl_interrupted]

27. William769 Yeah & Reagan goes an invades Grenada!

Sound familiar? "Grenada" the bait and switch war. Repubs always whinning about 18 dying in Somalia on Clinton's watch, after Bush1, put us there, but over 200 dead marines in Beirut on Reagan's watch?? You never hear a word from them about it.

[William769]

33. Do you know why they died?

He wouldn't fucking let them have ammo in their guns! Sound familiar?

[girl_interrupted]

45. William769 yes, Bush took a page right from Reagan's book

Supporting the troops...by giving them nothing to defend themselves with. Ironic isn't it? Reagan trains bin laden, Repubs cry "Wag the dog" when Clinton goes after him, Bush ignores Richard Clarke and all other warnings regarding bin laden. 9/11 from Reagan right to Bush. I hate them both. 9/11 also happens on the watch of 3 republicans, bush, Rudy & George Pataki.

[Chovexani]

42. Word.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

6. On His Grave

[Oldtimeralso]

26. After I got out of the army I said

I will not stand in line again!

[sandnsea]

7. I agree with Barack Obama

he was very successful at communicating his message, even though I don't agree with almost any of his policies.

That's what he said.

[Blue_In_AK]

8. I thought the Reagan years would never be over...

The longest eight years of my life -- until George Bush came along. I despised Reagan.

[sandnsea]

11. 12 years really, the early 90's sucked too

Although I don't think Bill Clinton did as much for the economy as Bill Gates and Y2K.

[ProudDad]

29. Actually, 26 years and counting...

even clinton was the best republican president money could buy...

[sandnsea]

37. When was the last year FDR was President?

Well LBJ did some good things, so maybe it's 40 years and counting..

[ProudDad]

43. Crazy at it may seem

nixon was the last effective "democratic" president we've had...

So, yeah, about 33 years and counting maybe.

The right-wing "revolution" began after Goldwater had his clock cleaned in '64...

[PDJane]

9. I despised him then,

I thought the Iran-Contra hearings should have led to impeachment, I figured he was either drugged or utterly stupid, and remembered that it was Jane Wyman's cash, stolen from a joint account, that allowed him his comfortable life, his politics, and his second marriage.

Did I mention I thought he was corrupt? An oversight, I assure you.

[Colobo]

10. Dude was senile. He didn't run the show.

From what I've read, probably he didn't have a clue of anything during his whole second term.

[jlake]

16. He was responsible for his presidency. He should have resigned.

[inthebrain]

19. There was more to Reagan than just his presidency

that suggests he was even more despicable human being.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

21. Yes, but he was a deeply evil man for at least 15 years before he was ever President

So it evens out.

[ProudDad]

34. That fucker didn't have a clue...EVER!

He parroted nancy's father's bullshit right-wing crap from the day he met the old bastard to the day his mind went dead (probably around 1984)...

[TwilightGardener]

13. It's hilarious to see Clintonites going into convulsions about Obama's analysis

of Reagan's 1980 Presidential race, yet they have the beam in their own eye of Bill and Hillary BEFRIENDING Poopy Bush--so much so that they wanted him to be an emissary for her. Hahahahahaaaaa!!

[jlake]

24. That pissed me off too. I don't like Republicans no matter which candidate said or did what.

[PresidentObama]

14. Let's put his casket throw a wood chipper....That's where I stand....

[inthebrain]

15. Dude laid a wreath on a Nazi grave in Bittburgh, Germany

Never liked him.

Even before his ascendency to the presidency he was down some of the biggest racist and anti communist dickheads of the right wing. He's one of the reasons why we don't have universal healthcare.

He was one of the worst presidents we ever had and as Bush I was about to lose to Clinton, the country was finally coming around to it.

Lately the dickheads on the right have been propping this asshole up as a hero. Only those that have their noses stuck to their television screens watching MSNBC, CNN etc fall for this bullshit.

Have they ever really checked?

Ask the African American community at larrge how they really felt about that asshole. The war on drugs was a war on minorities and the poor.

Ask the gay community in regards to the AIDS crisis.

[Kucinich4America]

40. Bonzo goes to Bitburg

You've got to pick up the pieces
C'mon, sort your trash
You better pull yourself back together
Maybe you've got too much cash
Better call, call the law
When you gonna turn yourself in? Yeah
You're a politician
Don't become one of Hitler's children

Bonzo goes to bitburg then goes out for a cup of tea
As I watched it on TV somehow it really bothered me
Drank in all the bars in town for an extended foreign policy
Pick up the pieces

My brain is hanging upside down
I need something to slow me down

Shouldn't wish you happiness, wish her the very best
Fifty thousand dollar dress
Shaking hands with your highness
See through you like cellophane
You watch the world complain, but you do it anyway
Who am I, am I to say

Bonzo goes to bitburg then goes out for a cup of tea
As I watched it on TV somehow it really bothered me
Drank in all the bars in town for an extended foreign policy
Pick up the pieces

My brain is hanging upside down
I need something to slow me down

If there's one thing that makes me sick
It's when someone tries to hide behind politics
I wish that time could go by fast
Somehow they manage to make it last

My brain is hanging upside down
I need something to slow me down

[CreekDog]

20. He looks like Gandhi compared to the current resident

:grr:

[billbuckhead]

28. Like when Raygun secretly traded arms with Iran for the hostages?

Truly one of the most despicable presidents and a mentor for Cheney.

[CreekDog]

31. i said compared to

:spray:

[billbuckhead]

36. Keep drinking that Kool aid next you'll be saying nice things about Cheney

Cheney is better than Dracula,

[CreekDog]

41. Cheney is better than Dracula, barely

big deal, so what if i said it.

are you soooo looking for an argument that you're coming after me for saying Reagan was better than the current resident? Gimme a break, every president is better than the current one.

go argue against real threats, quit giving me a hard time.

hoser. :hi:

[billbuckhead]

50. It's a far greater distinction by multiples than what Hillary said about MLK/LBJ

Reagan might actually have been dumber and lazier than Chimpy. :tinfoilhat:bama has said he like to delegatelike reagan did so maybe he sees something else besides the evil. (A lazy man's management style)

[MADem]

22. Gosh, where are Reagan's cheerleaders? You know, those "Welfare Queens"

in their Caddys and fur coats??? Guess they didn't exist!! Maybe they're off at the diner, enjoying some vegetable catsup soup!!!

[MrSlayer]

23. I stand on his grave pissing.

He was a piece of garbage.

[billbuckhead]

25. When the Gipper was in office I said publicly he was traitor and should be hung

I'm really getting sick of :tinfoilhat:bamas endless fellating of Republicans. It seems BO will say anything to get elected.

[Nailzberg]

30. Hate him then, hate him now. But I gotta admire his skills.

Incredible politician. I just hate his policies.

[ShadowLiberal]

32. I hate him, but you can't deny that he was a good politician from his charisma

[billbuckhead]

38. Hitler was even better

One of the best orators of all time and he united his nation, made the trains run on time and used military spending to pump up the economy. A truly superior politician. When's :tinfoilhat:bama coming out for the Fueher?

[ProudDad]

35. As a "politician"

he was a "B" movie actor with a "B" movie actor's skills...

Among a bunch of "C" and "D" actors with "C" and "D" acting skills...

[balantz]

39. I don't like to hate people,

but he was an evil piece of shit bumbling enabler that hid behind a facade of fatherliness and his philosophy was spawned in McCarthyism and it made life worse in America. He was the puppet that the shrubs and Zany used for their agenda to capture full control of the government and facilitate the free reign of greedy corporate-elites who rule us now and are destroying our lives and our Constitution and murdering people around the world. I could go on for a long time....

[William769]

44. Like your answer so far Katz?

[Zorra]

46. I'm squatting. The guys can stand when I'm finished. n/t

[tangocash77]

47. Iran Contra was too much. He doesn't make my top 40 list n/t

[featherman]

48. Never a Reagan fan... preferred even Nixon and George HW Bush

to the phony, empty, puppet Reagan. At least the other two were actually Presidents however bad...

[rasputin1952]

49. Other than bush, Reagan was just about the worst modern

president we ever had.

For those who do not recall Beruit and the Marine Corps barracks...it was the seminal event that started the "terror" fiasco between us and the Middle East. When reagan, big talker about being so tough, skedaddled, he set the stage for more attacks. The taliban and others saw it as an act of cowardice and a lack of resolve. Reagan ran out on Beruit...and al-qaeda and the taliban came on w/force.

[enigmatic]

51. Puppet

For some truly evil people.

[spag68]

52. All this poll shows

is that there are 9 posters here who are eithr rethugs or idiots or both.
