1. RR, GHWB and GWB have all been mere figureheads.

Michael Moore nailed it.

3. The last time the Republicans had a "leader", it was Eisenhower.

He was a general who took orders from his elected Commander-in-Chief. He knew how the system was supposed to work. Every Republican wanker since has taken orders from a nefarious bunch of cronies bent on capital accumulation.

9. Agreed. Reagan just thought it was another B-movie acting job.

4. I know this is true because my job and 10 million others were moved out of the country under Reagan

Sad thing is they never could have gotten away with it without a lot of complicit Americans who were more than happy to be Reagan's useful idiots.

Unfortunately a lot of those useful idiots are still walking among us.

6. What all started with Reagan?

I don't understand what you're asserting that Raygun started?

[Owlet]

7. You're kidding, right?

I'm not asserting anything. Did you watch the video?

[hootinholler]

8. Apparently you're not asserting anything then

You said IT all started with Raygun.

A lot of stuff came to fruition with Raygun, but I assert not much started with him.

10. OK. I get it. You didn't bother to watch the vid. (eom)

11. Reagan was bad, but capitalism has been around a lot longer than that. nt

12. Actually it started with Calvin Coolidge, and then was handed to Hoover.

Reagan just resurrected Coolidge's idea of cronyism when he gave jobs to his cronies while he was in the White House.
Reagan also reinstated the "trickle-down economic" policies that Coolidge and Hoover had both followed in the 1920s and 1930s.

It was just hashed over hash that our grandparents and parents had seen before.
