What is the over and under on how many times the Repugs will bring up Reagan's name in tonight's debate. It went way over in the last debate but that was at Ronnie's library. They will all of course have to say kind things about Falwell.
Reagan's economic policies put the screws to working class Americans. Ronnie was resposible for one of the worst recessions since the 30's. By the end of the 80's poverty was up and wages were down due to his military madness which created huge federal debt and deficits. Reagan was a bold faced liar and denied selling arms to IRAN which freed American hostages. He later retracted the statement but claimed he didn't know anything about it. Ronnie was a hitman for big business in the 50's, strictly anti-union. He fired the air traffic controllers thus breaking their union. Ronnie hated environmentalists.
Ronnie was almost paranoid about state directed redistribution of wealth and wanted to abolish Social Security (sound familiar), he didn't care about senior citzens. His biggest fib was that he won the Cold War by scaring the Soviet Union w/ Star Wars. Gorbachev changed Soviet domestic policies to the point where the old state was doomed. How about Manuel Noriega, S&L Scandal, Ed "you don't have many suspects that are innocent of crimes" Meese, the invasion of Grenada, Bill Casey, massacres in El Salvador, AIDS denial, Iran/Contra, Bobby Bork, a lot of napsZZZZZ, food stamp reductions and $640 toliet seats at the Pentagon.
It's ironic that old Ronnie died of Alzheimer's, his Religious Right is against research of stem cells. Yes it is really going to be a difficult task for the Repugs to find another Ronnie!
