Desperately Seeking Reagan!

[PoliticalChic]

Now that the American people have finally done what we on the Right implored them to do six years ago, kick the community organizer to the curb......we need to find someone capable of wielding the power given to the Republicans.


And we are desperately seeing a man of the caliber of Ronald Reagan.




1. "One of the first things the Republicans are going to do after today’s election is mount a search for Ronald Reagan.


2. The search is signaled in Commentary Magazine, which just put in the mail a November issue .... reprise the fealty so many Republicans are paying to Reagan....


3. .... Reagan had the jump on the Father of All Mercies when it comes to the Free Trade Union Movement. This is the element to the Reagan story that, for my money, has the most to offer the current crop of Republicans.



4. Today’s GOP stars.
..are fluent in free market economics..
.. are warming to sound money. ...
...oppose high taxes.
They’re onto constitutional fundamentals.

But the wisdom of the anti-communist labor unions, not so much.



5. Reagan had this down to the ground. He’d been president of the Screen Actors Guild in the years the communists tried to take over Hollywood. Reagan beat them. And he used the experience when, as president, he went up directly against Soviet Russia."

Reagan's party lost 8 Senate seats in his 6th year.

FDR started Social Security. Reagan saved it (FDR sent his thanks from the beyond).

Since then, the party that claims to be the party of Reagan has been trying to kill it.

I guess if we're going to have to see another Reagan, that's one silver lining. Bring back Social Security Saviour Reagan.

Have they tried putting in an advertisement in the paper?

Desperately Seeking Reagan!


Staring Madonna as Nancy Reagan....

 

[amrchaos]

Sounds like Rand Paul to me...Just need to make him a little more charismatic and this 'search' will become a question of "Who is brave enough to go as far right(economically) as you possibly can?"

That poster is one more of your lies.

There were no Iran-Contra convictions.

1. The Iran-Contra scandal involved the sale of arms to Iran, basically to ransom American hostages that Islamic extremists held, and diverting proceeds from the sale to the Contras in Nicaragua. Neither the sale nor the diversions of funds were clear violations of existing laws: subsequent independent counsel investigations directly charged anyone with crimes for either the arms sales nor the diversions. 2. "... reversal of NSC staff member Oliver North and National Security Adviser John Poindexter’s convictions. The Court of Appeals reversed their convictions because they successfully argued that witnesses in their trials might have been affected by publicized immunized congressional testimony, even though the prosecutors themselves had taken painstaking efforts to avoid encountering information about the hearings."

[The parallel investigation by Independent Counsel Lawrence Walsh secured criminal convictions of nearly a dozen senior administration officials and private citizens for acts such as perjury, conspiracy, fraud, and the destruction of evidence.

3. Two points should be made clear. The Democrat Congress was strongly in favor of the communists of Nicaragua, and the scandal was an attempt to tie the hands of the President, who was strongly anti-communist. And, two, congressional attempts to conduct foreign policy were, at the very least, constitutionally dubious. Reagan often complained [p. 222] that it was not possible to carry out foreign policy with 535 secretaries of state in Congress.


4. The outcome of the constitutional struggle over the Iran-Contra matter would be decided in that exact way: by public judgment of the political clash in Washington. The joint House-Senate committee investigation of the Iran-Contra affair—an investigation Democrats likened to Watergate and hoped would end with Reagan’s impeachment—took a turn President Reagan’s critics had not expected when Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North appeared and delivered a devastatingly effective attack on liberals in Congress for their irresponsible meddling in foreign policy. Public opinion decisively shifted in Reagan’s favor, and the liberal dream of driving another Republican president from office died quickly. In other words, the people judged, just as Locke said they should, and judged that Reagan had acted properly, if not necessarily wisely."

Please explain.

There were no Iran-Contra convictions.

Robert McFarlane pleaded guilty to 4 misdemeanor counts. (plea bargain)

Elliot Abrams pleaded guilty to 2 misdemeanor counts (plea bargain)

Alan D. Fiers pleaded guilty to 2 misdemeanor counts

Clair George convicted on 2 counts of perjury.

The rest of the Iran Contra perpetrators weren't convicted because they received pre-trial pardons by a co-conspirator by the name of

George Bush Sr.

Reagan's party lost 8 Senate seats in his 6th year.

Speaking of a presidential 6th year.....

"Second-term US presidents traditionally seek solace on the global stage. Barack Obama is no exception. Following last week’s drubbing in the US midterm elections, he lands in China on Monday for a summit with Xi Jinping. He is unlikely to find Beijing more pliable than Washington DC. As time goes on, it becomes ever harder to separate his domestic weakness from his global standing. Even the tone is spreading. “US society has grown tired of [Obama’s] banality,” China’s semi-official Global Times said last week."

So I remain correct....the convictions were not for Iran-Contra.

You're dismissed.

No, they were. Your childish denialism simply makes my winning of the argument more enjoyable.

You mean you want to find someone dingy enough to arm one of our potential enemies with advanced chemical, biological and nuclear weapons? Or you just want a slick talking corporate shill who makes you feel good?

Agreed that is what we need but it is will be impossible to find another Ronald Reagan.
