WTF are all the threads invoking the name of Raygun???? |
|
He was the first puppet prez, he really didn't have gorby tear down the wall as so many believe (that was a Thatcher/Gorby idea, but they needed the good ol' USA to "say" it), and he was the one who said "government is the problem" which got that mantra into the repukes talking points since!

4. He didn't say he "liked" Reagan |

he said that Reagan did certain things effectively.
Which is true.
Just like certain other historical leaders have done bad things but have been very effective at getting people to go along with them.
The objective is to get a leader who will do good things, but have the ability to inspire followers as well.
Someone who would do good things if they could, but who can't inspire followers, is not much use.

9. my father`s assessment on ronny |
|
he was a nice guy who sucked up to the rich when he was in high school. he wans`t especially smart but he knew how to play the game to get ahead. he was a roosevelt democrat then converted to marry nancy. after he was shot ronnie basically slept through the rest of his presidency and the boys in the basement took over.
my father went to school with ronnie,bought gin from his brother and worked with ronnie`s dad during the wpa days. ronnie became a roosevelt democrat because of his dad finding a steady job with the wpa

6. NOTE: Most posts addressing Reagan are Obama folks-citing Dem quotes |
|
of praise for RR---many are quotes that congresscritters made at his funeral. Very low.

Piss on Raygun and his concrete crypt. He's responsible for the beginning of the disassembling of Democracy as we know it. And the Raygun worshipers can't remember what they had for dinner last night, but he was their best fucking president. Fuck that noise.:wtf: :mad:
