Nancy Reagan: Reagan would be ‘worried’

[kpete]

Nancy Reagan: Reagan would be ‘worried’ about Iraq and the state of the country today. In the “Good Morning America” interview, the former First Lady agrees with a recent Time magazine article by Karen Tumulty that noted, “The principles that propelled the (conservative) movement have either run their course, or run aground, or been abandoned by Reagan’s legatees.”

1. Would he feel any remorse? He's the one who started us down this

primrose path, after all.

2. "Commander AWOL is a total joke." - Nancy Reagan's dead astrologer*

"The stars and planets show that Commander AWOL and his cabal of corrupt republicon cronies hate America, and are determined to destroy it with lies, corruption and general malfeasance. These small-minded occult crooks need a good star gazer to guide them out of the cesspool of their own corrupt chickenhawk crap. Why don't modern republicons use good astrologers the way the good, old-fasioned republicons did?"

13. The republicons love their occultism. Then it was the stars. Now the Skull & Bones

I prefer the stars.

3. That interview was sickening.

I guess since GMA they did an Al Gore interview, they felt obligated to drag her ass out and interview her.

[stray cat]

11. I thought it was tasteful

[Iris]

14. Diane Sawyer dragging Nancy's body around behind her big head was tasteful?

I'll pass.

[11 Bravo]

4. Bullshit!

On his best day Reagan could not find his own ass using both hands and a compass. He couldn\'t locate Iraq on a map if you spotted him the latitude and longitude of Baghdad.

[blm]

12. Reagan-Bush administrations have been whitewashed up the wazoo, thanks to

certain Dems who have been handing them the polish and even supplying the elbow grease.

We need a Dem administration that will OPEN THE BOOKS on all of it - THAT will be a REAL positive move for REAL NATIONAL SECURITY.

5. No he wouldn't. He'd be too busy look'n for last years easter eggs.

6. Thanks loads nancy.

7. She's right

Reagan's principles were to fund people like Hussein and support tin pot dictators around the world on every continent in order to suppress people everywhere under fascist regimes. Those were the conservative principles.

Bush and the Neo-Cons have utterly demolished that with a policy of removing those dicators from power and replacing them with either straight up military occupation, torture, anarchy, civil war, and/or chaos.

8. ............

Welcome to DU SteelPenguin! :thumbsup:

15. Yes, that was great. n/t

[gatorboy]

9. No offense to nancy but these ARE the principles Reagan propelled.

Essentially many individuals that were in Raygun's admin. is in this one. And lets not forget the power of the religious right that started to swell with Ronnie.

[tabasco]

10. Lest we forget, Saint Ronnie is the one that gave chemical weapons to Saddam Hussein.

Nerve agent precursors, to be accurate. This is the stuff Saddam "used on his own people."

Yep, Ol' Saddam was our good buddy back then.

16. To his credit, Reagan called the neo-cons, "those crazies"

17. Reagan is greatly misunderstood by the GOP, which is no surprise.

Reagan is an example of how the POTUS can lose control over his office. That should be understood by all, Reagan was no longer (or he acted like) in charge of the WH, not the first, but really really pissed on the US Constitution. It was the beginning of the end for the GOP, ironically they don't understand it was the 1950s that was their decade.

The 'new blood' of the 1980s was nothing more than the increase of our fall as a just and free society. The UK seems to want the same kind of authoritarian control over their populace. It was all a decline in our society - granted technology and information never slow down - but the horrible bail outs, secret arms sells and causing war for profit are the last steps.

Reagan was a rubber stamp POTUS, sorry lurkers but it is the truth. Deal with it.

18. Why isn't MSM reporting this?

Isn't this news?
