an amiable chap, from all accounts, perfectly suited to host a dinner party.

where he'd no doubt regal the guests w/ a brief lecture on the Evils of Socialized Medicine! :)

You know what? Fuck Ronald Reagan.
Good Riddance, Ronnie.

 

...and finally,

Peace not through strength, but understanding and compassion.

 

You tools are an angry lot, for sure. Confused too.

Well, there are election results, then there are actual results:

 

"And while Reagan somewhat slowed the marginal rate of growth in the budget, it continued to increase during his time in office. So did the debt, skyrocketing from $700 billion to $3 trillion. Then there's the fact that after first pushing to cut Social Security benefits - and being stymied by Congress - Reagan in 1983 agreed to a $165 billion bailout of the program. He also massively expanded the Pentagon budget. Meanwhile, following that initial tax cut, Reagan actually ended up raising taxes - eleven times."

 

You trot out election results in that "end of story, don't fuck with the myth" fashion when you've got nothing else to show for a candidate's 8 years on office. It's like trotting out Ken Lay's hiring offer to prove that he was, in fact, awesome.

Reaganmania, flimsy and misguided though it is, keeps the attention off the conservative's more recent wonderboy who can't leave the country for fear of being prosecuted for the war crimes he's admitted to committing. You can't blame them for wanting to light a match after laying that turd.
