(135,425 posts)I think it's funny how some people can confound an obvious pander with reality.
Would Reagan have repealed DADT? Would Reagan have provided amnesty to immigrants? Would Reagan have worked to bring an ACA to the nation? Would Reagan have provided federal benefits to LGBT couples?
Actions speak louder than words--but I don't expect anyone here to see that. It's too easy to zing on a thing than look at the big picture.
Tell you what--we can get together in six decades and talk to the grandchildren of people whose lives were saved by the ACA, and hear from all the descendants of the Garcias, Ramirezes, Hidalgos, Gomezes, and Riveras, etc. who weren't flung out of this country on their asses thanks to that Obama guy that no one here (who isn't a person of color or minority ethnicity, at any rate) can seem to tolerate. Maybe since Obama lifted that Bush stem-cell ban, they'll actually find a way to keep me alive that long so we can have that conversation. One never knows....
