No. They know. It is just a game. How do you think they can support Obama after criticizing Bush so much...yet Obama out Bushes Bush on most of the things they hated about Bush.

This has nothing to do with the good of the country, it is a team sport and team Obama and team Democrats must win at all costs.

Both sides do this, just no one more blatantly so then the Obamabots in my lifetime.

I don't hate Reagan, I laugh at the right's blind worship of a POTUS who was average at best, who despite claiming government was the problem proceeded to grow that problem during his tenure, who despite claiming to be for less spending would spend like a drunken sailor when it suited his agenda.

Libs thrive in a atmosphere of division. Pitting one segment of society against the other is the most basic tactic in the liberal playbook....For a time Ron was able to focus the majority of us on the same track. It was a short time and 100% of society wasn't playing along but most of us were on the same page....They (libs) hate that and will do anything to make it never happen again.......

Really? Conservatives seem to be incredibly adept at projecting their own divisive methods on others. Republican talking points are very divisive--by escalating class warfare with all this bs "taker" propaganda. You think that 47% statement isn't class warfare? Illegal immigrants ruining the country? Not divisive at all, right? Want proof? This forum is an excellent example. Majority of threads started by rightwingers are derogatory and insulting towards the left and are intended to provoke arguments and exaggerate divisions. These are not points of debate, because most of the attacks by the right are fallacious ad hominem attacks with facts simply assumed--such as yours. One of the reasons Obama won is that democrats were enthusiastically united behind their candidate. Contrarily, the right wing was divided with lots of infighting and anger behind their candidate. You guys are totally divided along amongst yourselves--want to try and blame that on liberals?. If you looked at the problems within your own political faction instead of blaming everyone with differing opinions for your problems, your party might make some progress. Look at people like Cruz and Palin--hateful and divisive human beings. Very nice.

Yes. Why would liberals hate Reagan? After all, he was the biggest "tax and spend" President of all.

They don't hate him. Rather, they hate some/many of the things and policies which he did/implemented when he was U.S. President.

His economics were ineffective

He spent 16.3 Million for his inaugural party ( that's more than funding for NPR and those are 1981 dollars) That's 39 million in todays dollars

He and Geo senior dealt arms with Iran paying back their secret deal to hold the hostages ( sounds like treason to me)

He took no action against aids for 6 years. Legionaires disease only killed a handful and they swarmed that hotel...
Ineefective is not the word. Detrimental is more like it.

Default Why do democrats/liberals hate Reagan?

He was a very good president, certainly far better than Carter, Ford and especially Nixon. He called the Soviets what they were, an evil empire. Funny how butt hurt they got over it, but then again Nazi Germany would have also if they had been called a genocidal lunatic country; the truth hurts.

He greatly helped Americans feel proud to be American and, for the most part helped to make a great economy. He helped in eventually taking down the SU and the Berlin wall. Yet dems/liberals hate him, why?
