actually it started under Reagen. your trying to tell me no republicans voted for this shit?

de regulation is something the republicans love. hell, its something every asshole in Washington loves. dont tell me Clinton started this shit, it goes back to the 80's with Reaganomics.

The Trillion Dollar give away to Corporations is extortion & theft.

The 10's of Billions of Dollars the Government give away in sweat heart deals is theft.

your a Reagan bot, just like all the other people who loved him.

Show me I'm wrong, please..but you can't you just love the guy. That's fine, but it hardly means I have to.

Well I'm certain that no matter what facts are revealed, Nazis will always love "Dutch" Reagan for his memorial speech at that SS graveyard in Bitburg.

What planet are you from? You need to smack yourself for your reasoning.

Reagan was terrible man. I don't speak about the man, but as a President I didn't agree with any of his moves. He's lucky, thats it.

you appear to be the one in denial. even when reality is biting you on the ass you say it isnt..

i will not stop with Reagen, his foreign policy caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people in south america and his policy's of deregulation have screwed us over. i thought selling weapons to terrorists is bad? i guess it only is if a democrat does it..

he didnt lie about there relationship, independent sources found that one out. the only formal ties he has ever had with acorn are 1 court case. the fedral government gives money to acorn also, in case you missed that.

[pokerfaceyes]

STOP with Reagan, he was the BEST President this country ever had, and many American's agree with my statement. Most American's. Obama and Acorn? His ties are much DEEPER than that. Just because he LIED about their relationship does not mean he states the truth. Look at the money he has sent their way. He trained them to do what they are doing today in elections. Come on, that has all been proven. Denial leaves you grasping at false truths. You are better than that, America is better than that.

Ronald Reagen sold weapons to terrorists(iran contra affair) and his policy's helped create the situation that led to a recession in the late 80's.

as for obamas ties to acorn, he represented them in a court case when he was a lawyer. thats it. as for radical, hardly. as for wellfare, god forbid poor people eat.

will there be bread lines in this depression? I think we can Avoid it. we have an unprecedented level of technology dispersed to even the lower income classes of society. use the internet to organize people, start businesses that normal people actually use, we need to start rethinking how we produce food and shelter

Bush and McSame have taken us back to the thrities!

Throw these bums out!

Obama, please save us from disaster and finally get Bin Laden!

They've had 8 years and failed us!

Thanks.
