1. Yeah, I saw an ad for that during Law and Order SVU the other day

BARF.

[Maru Kitteh]

2. That ad was what got me into the WTF mode. Ended up here.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

3. Airing that ad takes hutzpah. People actually remember what he was like

He doesn't have the benefit of the haze of time. My whole family hates Reagan.

[Maru Kitteh]

13. I pretty much took it as a personal kick in the nutz myself.

It reminded me why I choose to avoid GE products.

4. Ha ha ha ha haaaaa! Hit the link and read what it says in the top left corner.

GE: Imagination at work.

Well no shit.

5. If by "progress" . . .

. . . they mean "Lighting an Equator-long Fuse to a 2008 Mountain of Economic Dynamite (With Smaller Stacks Exploding On the Way)", then yes, you couldn't get any more "progress" than that. The Trickle-Down Bailout Laissez Fail King was the Pre-quel to future Bewsh flop-o-ramas, which they got greenstacks, no criminal prosecution and we all got handed the bill.

6. To Quote Joan Baez at Woodstock

Refrain From The Song, "Drugstore Truck Drivin' Man"

He's a drugstore truck-drivin' man
He's a head of the Ku Klux Klan
When summer comes rollin' around
We'll be lucky to get out of town.

White House." - H.I. McDunnough.

7. What a bunch of crap. Lauding that corrupt grifter? n/t

[rfranklin]

8. I remember how Reagan raised my taxes and then spent every cent of my SS

I was making about $105 a week in those days and every penny counted. But I thought, hey, it's going to make Social Security solvent forever. Then he and his thugs spent every cent on tax cuts for the uberwealthy.

[Xenotime]

9. Exactly. Wingers still cling to his words...which are worth nothing now.

[unhappycamper]

11. Raygun's words were worth nothing to start with. n/t

[annabanana]

10. I sincerely hope that their responses are something other than

what they wish.. . Get typing, non-memory impaired friends..

[Joey Kidd]

12. "Do you recall meeting Ronald Reagan?"

Well yeah,the other night I had an out-of-body experience and decided to visit Hell.I couldn't have a chat with him,he was screaming too loud because of all the fire and brimstone.

[Berry Cool]

15. I saw an ad for that while watching MSNBC coverage last night.

How ironic that they ran it during the health care bill vote...their support for the deification of a man who tried to defeat Medicare and who ruined the country for decades as President.

Made me sick.

[LWolf]

16. While I don't miss him, I've felt catapulted back in time

since November of '08.

[Grand Taurean]

17. First Unrec! So what else does GE and Reagan have in common?

At some point, both did business with Iran.

[Kievan Rus]

18. Ronald Reagan? Progress? In the same sentence?

[TuxedoKat]

19. So sick of hearing him lauded

everywhere. Second worst president of my lifetime.
