The Reagan lie continues today...

[Stephanie]

The left can't even let a dead person rest in peace. it's always with the nasty BS

LETS start digging dirt on the Kennedy clan, which clan fits that bunch of losers. Teddy boy, who did us a lot of damage and got away with drowning a young lady to save his own hide. Teddy the drowner : thank Gawd he could never make it as a President. the people were smarter back then. now look at them

 

[MisterBeale]

Okay. let's talk numbers...

Which President Added Most to the U.S. Debt?

Reagan increased the national debt 186% from the level that Carter left him
GW Bush increased the national debt 101% from the level that Clinton left him
Obama has increased the national debt 55.4%

So the Republicans talk a good game, but they increase the national debt even more than a Democratic administration. And many of us are still struggling to recover from the mess that GW left us.

You're tarnishing the reverent image conservatives have of the brain addled buffoon......who took guidance from his wife who took guidance from a fortune teller.....need anyone say more?

Yikes!


WASHINGTON, May 3— President Reagan and his wife, Nancy, are both deeply interested in astrology, the White House spokesman, Marlin Fitzwater, said today, and two former White House officials said Mrs. Reagan's concerns had influenced the scheduling of important events.

A California astrologer said she had been consulted by the Reagans regarding key White House decisions, but Mr. Reagan said astrology had not influenced policy.

White House Confirms Reagans Follow Astrology, Up to a Point

You think the Reagans following Astrology is bad? You should see the body count the Clintons have racked up in their quest for power, now THAT is deserving of a horror or a thiller movie.

For one thing, decades of rhetoric about waste in Washington—one of Reagan’s favorite talking points—have skewed voter perceptions. “People think that there are a lot of ways to end fraud that would help balance the budget,” Nyhan says. Forty-nine per cent of those surveyed in a 2013 Fox News poll agreed that cutting “waste and fraud” could eliminate the national debt. In addition, voters have a poor sense of how government money is spent. When Trump says that he wants to close the Department of Education and the E.P.A., it might sound like a big saving. Yet their combined budgets amount to a small fraction of his proposed tax cut. Likewise with foreign aid: polls show that Americans think as much as a quarter of the federal budget goes to other countries, when it’s actually less than one per cent of total spending.

The Republicans learned from Reagan that a HUGE LIE can be forgiven if your party keeps telling the work how wonderful a President that you were, as the GOP does Reagan. Now, all the GOP hopefuls, especially the fraud Phrump, have also taken to heart the Great Reagan Lie.

The other fact that the article points out in that FOX news viewers are very to fool. They believe most anything FOX swears is true.

Wow prior to Reagan no one talked about waste and fraud in government. Who knew?

Is that the best response that you have? Yes, he talked about waste and fraud and then told America that eliminating it would remove the national debt. Then he turned and tripled it. THE REAGAN LIE!

The best response I have is you are a fucking hypocritical piece of shit pawn. You are nothing. If only you were flushed, swallowed or wiped off your mothers chest with a damp cloth.

We would have all been better off. Especially me, since I would not need to read your utter fucking bullshit.

Now, go fucking vote for hillary as you attempt to call republicans corrupt.

How is that for a response you fucking loser?

Gee, I must be hurting your saintly impression of Reagan....

Reagan was a Great man; hence you cannot stand him. Tough shit, buttboil!!

As you can clearly see below Reagan had nothing to do with the wall coming down ... when it all started he tried to take claim for it ... typical reagan, taking credit for something he had nothing to do with ... but you republicans need a hero ... ya got one ... a budget raising, tax increasing, credit taking lair name Ronald reagan ...

In the early days of November 1989, East Germans turned out in massive street protests to demand Gorbachev-style reforms. Their dictatorial rulers tried to appease them by issuing "new" travel regulations. Though the rules suggested that there would be freedom, the fine print still included the national security exemptions that had always prevented East Germans from leaving. None of the people writing these new regulations took the obvious steps that would have been needed to open the border, such as consulting the Soviets or informing the border guards that such a move was coming. In short, there were no signs that authorities intended to open the wall on Nov. 9.

That night at 6, Guenter Schabowski, a member of the East German Politburo who served as its spokesman, was scheduled to hold a news conference. Shortly before it began, he received a piece of paper with an update on the regulations and a suggestion that he mention them publicly. He had not been involved in discussions about the rules and did not have time to read the document carefully before starting.

His hour-long news conference was so tedious that Tom Brokaw, who was there, remembered being "bored." But in the final minutes, an Italian journalist's question about travel spurred Schabowski's memory. He tried to summarize the new regulations but became confused, and his sentences trailed off. "Anyway, today, as far as I know, a decision has been made," he said. "It is a recommendation of the Politburo that has been taken up, that one should from the draft of a travel law, take out a passage. . ."

Among the long-winded clauses, some snippets leapt out: "exit via border crossings" and "possible for every citizen."

Suddenly, every journalist in the room had questions. "When does that go into force?" shouted one. "Immediately?" shouted another. Rattled and mumbling to himself, Schabowski flipped through his papers until he uttered the phrase: "Immediately, right away."

It felt as if "a signal had come from outer space and electrified the room," Brokaw recalled. Some wire journalists rushed out to file reports, but the questions kept coming, among them: "What will happen to the Berlin Wall now?"

Alarmed about what was unfolding, Schabowski concluded with more muddled responses: "The question of travel, of the permeability therefore of the wall from our side, does not yet answer, exclusively, the question of the meaning, of this, let me say it this way, fortified border." Furthermore, "the debate over these questions could be positively influenced if the Federal Republic [of West Germany] and if NATO would commit themselves to and carry out disarmament."

As NATO was unlikely to disarm itself by breakfast, Schabowski clearly did not expect much to happen that night. But it was too late -- by 7:03 p.m., the wires were reporting that the Berlin Wall was open.

Across the border, a West German television channel, ARD, reported the news cautiously in its 8 p.m. broadcast, first asserting only that the wall probably would become "permeable" soon. But for its next news program at 10:30 p.m. -- delayed to 10:42 by a soccer match -- the staff went big. Hanns Friedrichs, the moderator who enjoyed a Cronkite-like status in the country, proclaimed, "This ninth of November is a historic day." East Germany "has announced that, starting immediately, its borders are open to everyone."

It is unreal. Each thread you start and every post you make is dumber than the one before.

I agree that many in the East were heroic in what they did; I also agree that the USSR had massive problems that they could no longer hide. I also say that Reagan played an important role. Get over it; the WALL IS DEAD....stuff it and all those who supported it!!!

You're tarnishing the reverent image conservatives have of the brain addled buffoon......who took guidance from his wife who took guidance from a fortune teller.....need anyone say more?

A swingandamiss. No, you guys can't tarnish reality. It doesn't work that way. Many of us were alive then, I started a company serving other businesses and know full well the economy improved greatly, even with the added debt and lowered taxes. More activity = more income.

Nor will excusing/ignoring Democrat spending work. Nor will excusing 19+ trillion in debt we have now thanks to obama's social spending. The only tarnish here is between your ears.

Go right ahead Staph...the only problem? Democratic candidates aren't onstage fighting over who can be more like Ted Kennedy. The GOP candidates are all fighting over who can be more Reagan-like. Of course the ACTUAL Reagan wouldn't be welcome in today's GOP.

Let's ignore the fact that Doofus Bush started two worthless wars and provided tax cuts to the rich, which greatly increased the debt, and just blame Obama. Nice try, weasel.
