Or maybe that what's they say when you present facts to liberals 100 times only to have them disappear from the thread and then go start another so no one will find out how bad they got their asses handed to them, how bad they were lied to, how pitifully gullible they were, how horribly incompetent they are at something simple like using google and how shameful they should be of themselves for running off like a lil bia.

Why don't you try using the search feature if you can muster up the courage and squeeze enough brain cells together to do so? You'll find 100's of threads just like this one with nearly identical titles and all the same false claims.

What the Op doesn't remember is the extensive cuts RR tried to make with the budget and the political heat he took at the proposed changes. Just Google "David Stockman" Stockman took the heat but it was really RR who actually believed in this and tried to get it done. This is the advantage of having lived the events, rather than trusting "historians" who are always trying to destroy their enemies and praise their friends.

Seven Ronald Reagan Legacies The GOP Won't Be Honoring On The 9th Anniversary Of His Death

Typical liberal thread- the theme-

1. things are not that bad now (despite things being really bad)
2. Obama did not increase the debt as much as other presidents (despite the fact that Obama has increased the debt from $10 trillion to $17 trillion in five years).
3. It's okay do grant amnesty to 20 million illegals- Regan did (Reagan granted "amnesty" to 3 million illegals as a "one time deal" with the democrats in exchange for enforcement of immigration laws, which never happened).
4. Reagan was a democrat (yes he was- then he became older and smarter and became a republican)
5. It is okay for Obama to soft on Muslims- Reagan negotiated with terrorists (Yes he did. However, unlike Obama, Reagan played off regional enemies against one another and avoided wars as a result. Now that is the kind of foreign policy we need).


Back to reality- it is 2013 and Obama is president. The debt is up, we have had record annual deficits for the last five years, lower incomes, record citizens on food stamps, record citizens on disability, lowest full time percentage work force since the 1970s, and lower middle class personal savings. Now that is change that we can believe in.

Every thread that tries to rationalize Obama's failures looks more and more absurd. It must be tough to be a liberal and pretend to support abject failure, corruption and incompetence.

How? By learning "Well, I don't remember" got him a pass on his misdeeds?

And every thread that tells the truth about ol' Ronnie RayGun has the righties scrambling to deflect from that truth.

What in your fantasy world makes you believe we have forgotten?

Where is your proof? Or are you just blowing off at the mouth again?

So Ronald Reagan wasn't perfect....holy sh$$ thanks for telling us....I'd take him any day over the utter FAILURE Obama is-actually I'd take Clinton over Obama...

Don't worry when Harry or Nancy die, us neocons will be able to write a 2 page thread on the crap they suck at.
