That lying old fart sold out the nation in the Iran-Contra scandal. He was almost as much a traitor as the Bushwhackos with better stage presence. There's no reason to give a flying fsck at a rolling doughnut about anything he said.
Incredible. Reagan predicted the encroachment of socialism, how it gains roots and what it looks like and what the country needs to do to reject it.
Heh, Reagan is even better at drawing out the foaming moonbats than is Palin!

And we wind up with Obama. Awesome video.

What modern conservatives love about Ronnie is that he told 'em he loved them before he put the bone to 'em, and the rest of us, too...
Decried the $1T national debt he inherited, then turned it into $5T.
Talked a lot about smaller govt, expanded the military to new heights.
Cut taxes at the top, raised taxes at the bottom in the form of SS contributions.
Claimed he was for the forgotten man as he broke the balls off of labor, aka air traffic controllers.
Conveniently couldn't remember a thing about the Iran/Contra affair, where he financed terrorists with funds gained illegally and surrepititiously from trading with Iran, whom he decried vociferously...
The list goes on from there...
Yeh, Ronnie, the Conservatives' dream president... even more of a fantasy today than he was at the time...
What's even more funny is you're describing Bush according to the libtard playbook.
Bush is gone. Obama is the enemy now.

You wouldn't know a socialist if he kicked you in the nutsack.
if he actually stuck with it, you might have a point... but when push came to shove, he threw the public option under the bus like a racist grandma.You don't recall his main campaign promise of getting universal health care?
spidey is questioning someone's links?
how many links to crap sites should we have to put up with?
PS - you may want to learn how to spell REAGAN's name btw
you were a pre-teen when he was president, you only know about him from what you read, not anything you remember
Heh, good catch.
I remember the good times under reagan, I remember the good times when clinton was neutered, I remember the great times under Bush.
I will not forget the times under Obama and We The People are going to stop him.

Even Ford and Carter did a better job at cutting government.
The budget for the Department of Education, which candidate Reagan promised to abolish along with the Department of Energy, has more than doubled to $22.7 billion, Social Security spending has risen from $179 billion in 1981 to $269 billion in 1986. The price of farm programs went from $21.4 billion in 1981 to $51.4 billion in 1987, a 140% increase. And this doesn't count the recently signed $4 billion "drought-relief" measure. Medicare spending in 1981 was $43.5 billion; in 1987 it hit $80 billion. Federal entitlements cost $197.1 billion in 1981and $477 billion in 1987.
His budget cuts were actually cuts in projected spending, not absolute cuts in current spending levels. As Reagan put it, "We're not attempting to cut either spending or taxing levels below that which we presently have."
The result has been unprecedented government debt. Reagan has tripled the Gross Federal Debt, from $900 billion to $2.7 trillion. Ford and Carter in their combined terms could only double it. It took 31 years to accomplish the first postwar debt tripling, yet Reagan did it in eight.
If we look at government revenues as a percentage of "national income," we find little change from the Carter days, despite heralded "tax cuts." In 1980, revenues were 25.1% of "national income." In the first quarter of 1988 they were 24.7%.
According to the Treasury Department, the 1981 tax cut will have reduced revenues by $1.48 trillion by the end of fiscal 1989. But tax increases since 1982 will equal $1.5 trillion by 1989. The increases include not only the formal legislation mentioned above but also bracket creep (which ended in 1985 when tax indexing took effecta provision of the 1981 act despite Reagan's objection), $30 billion in various tax changes, and other increases. Taxes by the end of the Reagan era will be as large a chunk of GNP as when he took office, if not larger: 19.4%, by ultra-conservative estimate of the Reagan Office of Management and Budget. The so-called historic average is 18.3%.

You can tell how dumb someone is by the amount they venerate Reagan.
Reagan saved the economy? Bullshit. The economy was saved by Volcker. Reagan wanted to lower rates and battled with Volcker a lot over it. When he finally did get his way it paved the way for the S&L crisis.You're a damn investment banker and I'd guess you're just a few years younger than I (38). You don't remember what happened in the mid 80s and how regan saved the economy?
Similar situation that obama is in and he's killing it every day?
Fortunately I have the benefit of an objective mind looking at history.
Killing it? ROFL.
