We may never see another president as good as Reagan.

How typical of the dead neo-conservative movement. You wouldn't know what a Marxist was if one were eating Fruit Loops on your front porch.

@Mutlap

I agree with you that you are not writing your dissertation; in fact, you are barely writing at all! Perhaps if you DID have a union teacher, you would be able to express your ideas in clear, coherent sentences. "Stop deferring from my statement..." Could you please translate that into English for me?

According to the NY Times, "The richest 1 percent of Americans now take home almost 24 percent of income, up from almost 9 percent in 1976." THAT is Reagan's shameful legacy!

@AndreiKrakovsky I am not writing my dissertation. Maybe you were taught by a Union Teacher who's only objective is to dumb down the American youth. You get my point.

Stop deferring from my statement and you state a rational rebuttal. History has shown the result of Reagan's economic policies. Taxation is used by the left as punish and a tool to create dependabnce by shutting down businesses through excessive taxation.

@Mutlap

Perhaps if you could put together a coherent sentence, I could reply...

@AndreiKrakovsky Encouraging the poor to become educated and freed from the chains of dependency! The rich not paying their fair share? What 100% You mean punishment? Assistance turns into dependency? The left wants government dominance and business shut down. Shut down through excessive taxation. Socialism

[AndreiKrakovsky]

Senator Mondale was a good and decent man who championed fairness, equality, and decency; who wanted Americans to act like responsible, reasonable adults. Reagan told Americans it's okay to think and act like children, which is why he got re-elected. Notice Mondale is concerned about the very problems created by Reagan that we are still dealing with today: cutting aid to the poor, the rich not paying their share of taxes, etc.

Mondale was such a loser.

@shotten99 - that's because they are the inheritors of 1960's Marxism.

What the fuck is Barbara Walters doing moderating a presidential debate?

@Steelers26426 We're certainly not seeing it now! I'd like to see whoever runs against the incumbent, "How's that 'HOPE' and 'CHANGE' working for you now!" I'd like to remind people unemployment is 9.2%. That's higher than '08. Forty three cents on every dollar Washington spends in BORROWED. We are in FOUR SEPARATE WARS! We are $14.3 TRILLION in debt! And GAS is twice as high as it was in '08! All these numbers are since NOBAMA took office! NOBAMA HAS 558 DAYS TO GO!
