What Joe Scum won't acknowledge
That every one of those conservative Reagan ideas that he believed in and still spews failed the American middle class and working class - urban and rural.

So please JoeScum - shut the **** up about when ReTHUGs were the party of ideas.

Because the Reagan years sucked so badly for the US...

 

During the Reagan administration, real GDP growth averaged 3.5%, compared to 2.9% during the preceding eight years. The annual average unemployment rate declined by 1.7 percentage points, from 7.2% in 1980 to 5.5% in 1988, after it had increased by 1.6 percentage points over the preceding eight years.

4. Thanks for bringing this up.... Raygun* was the beginning of the reactionary, rethuglican* party there were no fresh ideas or innovations. There was fear, suspicion and elevation of passive/aggressive racism to an art form in American politics.

21. Reagan picked Philadelphia, Miss. to .....

....announce his 1980 run for the White House. Hot bed of KKK history past and present. That right their is a legacy/indictment on his character. He lied/misled the American people most of the time (made up the "Cadillac Queen" out of mere cloth/racism) and set the tone for the Repuke party since. Lie and obfuscate.

25. raygun was remade and deified by limbaugh. without those 1500 radio stations excusing

him and bush and the rest of that criminal operation, attacking media and dem critics, and praising the old fart for 30 years we would have moved on long ago.

without limbaugh and spawn to worship that old dumbshit he would have been just a senile dumbshit who became president due to treasonous sabotage and interference in the election - paying the iranians to hold the hostages until after (i think it was the day after?) the election. and the dumbshit may never even have known what bush/cheney etc did.

reagan gets way too much credit for what has happened to the republican party and the US. even though he did kill the fairness doctrine in 87, paving the way for the monopoly that protected idiot rw radio liars like limbaugh and hannity and successive racist morans and 10 years later Fox, it was and is the victims of that incredibly successful fascist sex on the wrong brain propaganda operation that continue to ignore it that should now feel responsible.

10. He is a republican threw and threw .....

although he claims he switched to Indie. He thinks Ronald Reagan is the total greatest hero of all time.

Therefore, I will not watch his show.

Yeah. Right. Let’s consider some of those “ideas,” shall we?

Selfishness.
Deceit.
Hypocrisy.
Machiavellianism.
Greed.
Resentment.
Prejudice.
Intolerance.
Domination.
Short-sightedness.
Exclusion.
Hatred.
Segregation.
Cheating to win.
Willful ignorance.
Shameless pride in all of the above.

Just off the top of my head.

17. Scarborough and other mainstream republicans

still believe the myth of Reagan, a myth that barely resembles the real man, but was created to help sell their small government, low taxes ideas. Some of the smarter ones are beginning to realize that it was a sham all along, that the party increasingly made compromises to get back into power, until we ended up with Trump and his rabid base.

Scarborough spent so many years spewing the right-wing crap, he just can't let go of it entirely.

   Is mal POed at Joe LIEden or at Morning Marionette?   Either way, it's Blue-on-Blue.

Yeah, was thinking the same thing.  Is Joe Scum supposed to be the Accidental President or that goofball on MSNBC that no one sees outside the D.C. beltway?
