(1,405 posts)My ex said to me when I said Reagan was stupid.
"Don't you ever say that to me in my presence.. He is brilliant. Every time he makes a policy statement it is strong. And then when he is asked a difficult question he says...."Oh I remember when Jack Warner and I were on the set of "Hell Cats of the Navy" .. I wish I could use his wisdom in Congress today" Or some such thing.
She clued me into the artful deception of Ronald Wilson Reagan.
He surrounded himself with smart and evil people. Unlike the conservatives today who are dumb and ... evil.
I kinda miss him.... Nah!!!
Love you Amy!! You married better than me.

(11 posts)"Little Ricky" ...is nowhere near ronald reagan,this A-Hole is so full of self righteousness that he can't see the forest for the trees.It must be a living hell to be a female in the santorum household...they must feel like indentured servants,and his wife's only purpose in life is to bear "lil' ricky" children and keep her trap shut...or else.Has anyone ever looked at that female version of little rick standing behind him...she has a look on her face that is almost worship like when she stares at her dad...CREEPY to say the least.

(7 posts)Reagan's administration may of been nothing compared to what Gov. Bush's administration's crimes, but man was the Reagan administration full of criminals and frauds. Still, he would probably drop out of the race after Jesus in today's republican primary. Negotiating with terrorists and giving amnesty? Isn't this what they accuse Obama of?
Santorum is like a robot overloading, screeching the last words of warning in an ever increasing pace. He'll be out before his home state.

(296 posts)The Reagan he compares himself to isn't the REAL Reagan, it's the modern, 2000ish neo-con fantasy Reagan. You know, the one people like Sarah Palin has been likened to also--the hateful, nit-witted war-mongerer who hates the poor, believed the founding father's real purpose was for America to be a plutocratic theocracy, have military bases in every nation in the world and tell every nation how to run their country, not burden big business with even one rule while regulating individual citizens in the most intimate of ways. That is the Reagan Santorum likens himself to.
The real one would immediately be branded a socialist and wouldn't even survive the primary.

Church of the Latter Day Yertle
( by Kenny and Miriam Lerner, with apologies to Dr. Seuss !)
Two gentlemen glowed in the light of the flag
And said, Just think of all we might have !
Romney and Ryan, oh marvelous we !
If elected, well lay waste to all that we see!
Were kings of the land, water, oceans, and air
We can drill, we can mine, we can frack everywhere
If you say that we lie then its not what we meant
everythings right from the top one percent.
But we dont own enough, thats the trouble, you see !
We need to give more to people like we!
So give us your jobs and all your factories.
And well set up business somewhere overseas!
A place with no health care, no rights and no pay,
No unions, no rules, and no EPA!
And then, since the prices they charge cant be beat
Its impossible for American shops to compete !
We saw ! We conquered ! We bought ! We came !
Now the only American business is Bain !
But thats still not enough! Mitt and Paul soon complained,
We will banish entitlements ! Keep government contained !
Health cares expensive, food stamps cost too much!
They all just want handouts! (Lower taxes for us !)
If Americans arent rich then blame THEM, sorry chaps
You should all just try harder and pull up those bootstraps !
Then way down below they discerned a vague sound -
The murmurs of millions scared folks on the ground,
The ones on whose shoulders their platform did rest,
The ones earning poverty wages at best,
The ones Romney said didnt need any help.
And Romney said, Stuff it ! I built this myself !
Thank god for loose gun laws, if they threaten Ill shoot!
Just a few less civilians - no one gives a hoot !
99% grumbled and soon their ranks swelled
strategizing the way that these windbags be felled!
What they say and they do seems deceitful and canned
For Gods sake, their idols are Reagan and Rand !
They make jokes about stalling demise of the earth
and ignore global warming, such a subject for mirth !
The ascent of these demagogues soon must be halted -
Their malicious agenda and plans not exalted.
Roll up your sleeves, time to work, so go do it !
Get ready to rumble, dont give up and say, Screw it !!
Our votes and our voices are not plain little things
Theyre the weapons we have to stave off future kings !
