Ronnie is largely responsible for the mess that America is in. He started the deregulation
and the way out for American business to ship everything to China. Someone should have
warned the American public about Reagan, and W Bush now there's a stellar fool.
Obama took over a mess and in the grand scheme of things he has started putting the pieces
back together again.
The American people will get what they deserve if they give the country back to the greedy and
those without conscience and that is what will happen if they vote Romney. Romney is one thing
the idiots like Ryan are even worse.

Reagan had early stages of Alzheimers while in office, but people like to skip over that.

If it makes you sleep better at night, hey, go for it. Far better to have a President who is lacking the mental capacity to run the country, than to have a guy who gets a bj at work.

Priorities, man, get your priorities straight!

What's even funnier is to see the right wing people actually worship a guy who was a union president. Isn't that a bad thing? Aren't unions all evil?

Suffered? I doubt it.

From the family members that I've dealt with, the earlier stages of dementia are the toughest, because you're aware enough to understand that the brain isn't working like it should. Once you're into the late stages, you don't even know you have it, so it's not as tough.

Reading my grandmother's journal was heartbreaking - she wrote about trying to talk to people, and knowing who they were, but she couldn't get her brain to say the things she wanted to say.

It's a very sad disease for sure, as a single case has so many victims. From what I can gather some progress is being made. Apparently if diagnosed early, the progress can be delayed.

Yeah, that's the standard right wing line, but the truth is the USSR collapsed under its own weight of corruption and inefficiency. Reagan's belligerence probably prolonged the Cold War by giving credibility to the paranoia of the Soviet military-industrial complex. He didn't win the Cold War so much as the USSR quit playing.

No and no.

Close maybe, but second to Harry for sure!
Truman certainly had balls unlike the eunuch currently in office.

Much of it caused by trying to keep up with the re-arming of the US under Reagan. Had Reagan not re-armed, the USSR would still be with us.

Ukrainian coal miners brought down the Soviet Union.

No coal= no power.

Walter....I never knew you were pro-union.

I'm always pleased when I see such an example of someone completely bamboozled by the PR machine and the American media. In case anyone wonders how effective advertising is, here is an example.

Reagan didn't even know Obama. During his last few years in office he hardly knew himself. I remember
Nancy coaching the pathetic twit during a speech. He should have left office years before he did.

We might all end up that way, #Juan. With Ronnie there was always an aura of optimism, I liked the guy!

When you live in a dream world of hollywood movies, and don't really understand what's going on, it's easy to have an aura of optimism.

You know what they say, ignorance is bliss.

Or you could have a galactic aura.

Right wing eggs. Oh the puns abound.
