Lot's of opinions...little facts. Go find a Reagan thread (lots on here) and DM me. I'll help you understand through the FOIA.

You are talking to the wrong person. I am an Independent center-left minded individual and feel that government needs to be more moderate in scope. We need to have severe oversight and transparency for all spending initiatives with a diversified commission in charge. I vote against big spending reps on the local level because NH derives most of its revenue from property taxes. We do not have a state income or sales tax.
I don't care for the far southern states, but would consider the mid-south.

I would have to say my outlook is very similar to "Mike" (no pun intended).

Why is it they keep replaying Ronald Reagan clips over and over. I mean, it's been 20+ freaking years since Reagan left. You mean the RNC can't find someone viable to put out front? I mean seriously.

I really used to like Rush because he was very ra ra ra about the USA- which I'm very pro-America (I believe anybody can be anything). But the venom that comes from his show now is to much.

If he *truly* cares, he should run from president in 2012. However he's always stated clearly he's an "entertainer" and doesn't want to take a pay cut (no faulting him over that) or perhaps the digging in his personal life would be to much or uncover to much.

But this is the economy of political talk shows, ratings probably would be pretty low if it was all happy talk.

As opposed to FDR? 50 year difference and about 36 trillion....

We are always going to look for an old patriot in a new leader. We get to see how truly great choice that looked absurd otherwise were. It's amazing really to me the intellect of ALL our previous leaders. They do not say, for no reason, the past will be repeated if not paid enough attention to.


Could you imagine being on the world stage and your ideas are it. there is no one to look to. You drop it you bought it...



The Gipper is missing excuse me while I wrap myself in what's left of the American flag.

When Clinton was doing a good job running this country this fat piece of crap still ran his mouth and whether Billy Boy got a blowjob from Monica--who the hell cares! Bush should have taken a lesson,country first! Now this tub of lard is criticizing but when Bush was sinking this ship we didn't hear much from this unamerican hypocrite.Bill Maher has a talk show and he goes after whoever makes mistakes but I guess when "W" was in office it was like taking candy from a baby with endless material on a daily basis.

Hey wiseguy,
get the scoop on Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac and all of the leftist corruption relating to those two quasi-government entities, I think it is safe to say that the economy has gotten the way it is because of the housing market and many agree that these two companies were giving loans to people who could not afford them.

You know we have always be nostalgic in our history and it's looking more and more like our monetary supply and the lost value of the dollar.

Obumer is a death sentence to this country !

Rush is just pointing out his stupidity.

The more important question is...When Obumer drives this country into the ground will you fools actually admit it that hes an [MOD CUT/crude]?

If that does happen I would be the first in line--Honestly; but because he has the word Democrat tied to him,fat a$$ automatically must tell us he's 100% wrong! Now if Obama is the antichrist,then what the hell was Bush? He was the cause of this problem,but you didn't hear that from lard [MOD CUT/crude],now did ya?
