1. You shouldn't discriminate

2. It's hard for me to hate anybody as much as I hate Junior

including Reagan.

[tsuki]

4. I agree with you.

[serryjw]

3. I can say a lot of bad things about Reagan

BUt he isn't as bad as * and he didn't try and destroy the Constitution.I think he really loved this country. I don't agree with much of what he did/didn't do, BUT in his heart he was trying. * is nothing to help. He and all the neocons have their own agenda and it doesn't include us.

7. Loved his country? Three words - "Arms for hostages":

[kliljedahl]

10. I agree with you

Didn't like Reagan & worked against him, but he wasn't nearly as evil as *. I have such a visceral loathing of dumbyah, & I'm old enough to remember Nixon. I've never felt anything like this.

5. I would go see Reagan's grave, but...

hauling down the big boom box sounds like such a pain in the ass...unless of course they planned ahead and installed speakers in his head stone with 24 hour dance music. Then I could do my jig on his grave with minimal inconvenience. Wasn't that what the eighties were all about?

6. bush is a million times worse than Raygun

at least bush should know better. Raygun was half senile and probably didn't know nearly as much about public policy as he pretended to. If you can't say anything else nice about Raygun at least the USA was widely respected during his administration. bush has made us public enemy number one.

8. I hated Regan for what his policies did to me personally but I hate bu$h

for what his ignorance is doing to our children's future.
Regan stole our present in the 80's
bu$h is stealing our kids future, that gets me madder than I have ever been and makes the hate in me swell like never before.

My hate for this guy is far greater than for reagan.

11. But now the good news

What can they name after Bush when he is gone


Think about that.

His father got his name on an aircraft carrier. They are not going to name a second Aircraft carrier after him.

Reagon has got him name on most things in DC.

Bush Senior got his name on the CIA building

Jr already has the Houston Airport named after him.

Maybe the Navy could name a sub after him, but then it would be along side the sub named after Carter.


I have a hard time thinking of things to name after him that they have not already named after his father....

12. How about the * Sewage System in Crawford, TX?

Or maybe the * Insane Asylum someplace?

13. The george W bu$h Neclear waste dump site.

The emblem for the front of the building could be a giant *

14. Without Reagan there is no Bush

Reagan was a true radical for his time; he pushed America and the Republican Party far to the Right. Reagan ended the era of Republican Party representing fiscal conservative libertarian ideals.

Reagan brought in the Religious Right - not Bush. To this day, both Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson say that Reagan is their favorite president.
Reagan was also the first Republican president to have total disregard for the fiscal responsibility; he ran up enormous deficits in his rush to cut taxes for the rich and to increase defense spending - once again Bush has simply followed in these foot steps.

Reagan also used racial code words to effectively bring down liberalism, and start a conservative revolution. He was also responsible for knocking traditional northeast "Rockefeller Republicans" out of party control, and pushing control of the party to the South and West.

I know this will not go well over here, but Bush does not represent some extreme wing of the GOP. He represents the mainstream of the Republican Party, and the next Republican presidential candidate will probably be just as conservative as Bush. Reagan put a great deal of the Party power structure in the hands of evangelical southerners; without their support it is nearly impossible to get the Republican nomination.

Reagan was personable enough to put a friendly face on extreme conservatism; thus, middle America which was terrified of Goldwater was willing to accept Reagan, Their acceptance of Reagan has subsequently led to their acceptance of the likes of Gingrich and Bush Jr.

I really don't see how Bush's policies are so much more conservative than Reagan's were. After Reagan's death I saw some liberals saying that he would be "rolling over in his grave" if he saw what Bush had done to America. Frankly, these people are either way too emotional regarding Bush, or they are using some revisionist history regarding Reagan.
If we are supposed to judge history by the context of their times, then Reagan should be considered much extreme than Bush ever was. Along those lines, I actually think that Reagan was probably worse than Bush.

15. I agree with what you say about Reagan

though I would use the term "reactionary" for both Reagan and *, rather than the no-longer applicable "conservative."

That said, and agreeing that Reagan was absolutely horrific, I think * is at least as bad. He is a pocket version of Reagan--smaller and meaner and, god help us, dumber. True, he's only following in Reagan's footsteps, but I don't think that makes him any less awful

Both of these men are monsters, plain and simple.

16. As Bad As Reagan Was...

At least he could sound intelligent during a conversation.
This Moron is a national embarrassment!
Other nations assume that he is the smartest American we have!

[AverageJoe]

17. You make a good point

* makes Reagan look smart and statesman-like. Hell, he makes Dan Quayle look smart and statesman-like.
