Reagan Campaign did meet with Iranian Fundamentalists in 1980
despite all their denials.

Someone should do something extremely hard and challenging like finding evidence that republicans ever did anything good for our country.

3. Sure they did.
I heard the airliner carrying the released Iranian hostages take off from Teheran Airport as Reagan had his hand in the air, taking the oath.

11246Mhz. Strategic Air Command freq.

4. Was anyone fooled at all?
They announced it during the inauguration!

But of course no one will cover this on the news or do anything about questioning Poppie Bush.

5. We should rename Reagan Airport to Clinton Airport.
Edited on Thu Apr-07-05 04:08 PM by The Revolution
Next time the Dems are in control (and we will be again), we should rename Reagan Airport to Clinton Airport...and anything else named after Reagan as well :)

Two reasons:
1. I can't stand Reagan's name/picture being on anything. Including airports, schools, currency, or anything else.
2. It would drive the righties abolutely insane (well, more so than they are already).

I know, probably won't happen. But I can dream :)

7. 25 years from now, we'll see that Bush stole the election twice
Actually, this news shows just how evil Reagan was. It was the beginning of the bullshit we are in now.
