Hearing Reagan announce the return of the hostages again makes me sick...

[politicaholic]

The arms for hostages deal leading into the Iran-Contra affair should have been enough to get Reagan publicly hung if the Republicans weren't such a bunch of pathetic cowards who can't admit for a second that they might be wrong about one of their "icons" even though if you look at the numbers and historical records, Reagan was an IMPOTENT president AT BEST.

I'm glad he's dead. Republicans can justify all of the illegal harm he did to thousands of people in the US around the world all they want, but he's going to have to answer for it...and you know what? There isn't any "I don't recall" bullshit in hell.

Why did that ass have to taint what should have been a historically happy day of peace and reconciliation? Jerk.

Freepers just can't believe that their god actually caused the hostages to remain in custody for months to help swing the election.

6. Hey, Bush Sr. took credit for the fall of the Berlin Wall...

I would say Gorbachev/Yeltsen had a much larger hand in that.
