Nancy Reagan Helped A Racist Monster Hurt Millions of Americans
I am so sick of "The Media", and the Republican slime balls gushing over Ronnie (and Nancy) I want to puke.
Ronald Reagan's policies created the screwed up economy that only benefits the 1% while the rest of us are expected to work harder and harder for less and less every day. Reagan convinced millions to blame "welfare queens" for their problems. He claimed the government was the problem, not the wealthy "free market" economic terrorists who plundered our families savings. He cut aid to the mentally ill so much that millions went homeless who had no real way to cope. He ended affordable college. The list goes on forever. So what if he wagged his finger at Gorbachev after the Russians had been bankrupt for years. I give him zero credit for anything good.
Reagan was a f-ing monster.
When he took office was when the middle class began their plunge into the abyss.
For every good thing Reagan did, there was 10 bad things, or maybe 100.
I had to turn off my television today because of all the gushing bull crap.
No way anyone will ever talk about Reagan's "the bad" today, tomorrow, or forever.
Ronnie was a saint as far as they are concerned. EOM. All they will ever have to say.
It makes me sick because I live in the real world where real bad policies (and straight faced racism) hurts real good people.
Ronnie, the government (of, by, and for the people) isn't the problem. Having the oligarchs run it is the problem you asshole.

4. Ronnie screwed my family real bad and no, he was never forgiven.
My father some how ended up in Ballyporeen, Tipperary (where Reagan descended from) and he was delighted to find an anti-Ronald Reagan demonstration going on when he got there (~1985). I still have the flyer in fact.
My family had a real good reason to dislike him. He threw the disabled and those in need of mental health care to the dogs, and one of these people was my late brother.
Luckily, my parents didn't live to see my brother's death occur. That is the only good thing I can say about any if this.
As for Nancy ... *sigh*
To each their own I suppose.

6. Ronald Reagan was a puppet of papa bush and hurt so many so bad
Nancy want very bright and didn't do much, I've nothing against her. When papa and mama bush die, I put them into the same category as Ronald. But Nancy? Meh. She did good in her later years.

9. "When Ronnie got back from the war..." said alleged historian Michael Beschloss on msnbc. That's when i turned it off.

Hateful morons. Sad & pathetic.
Hey lying asshole: THAT WAS THE LIBERALS WHO INSISTED IN OPENING THE DOORS OF THE MENTAL HOSPITALS!
Your people, asshole. Your progressive politicians.

The AIDS epidemic rests squarely on his shoulders, Reagan is responsible for the death of millions of gay men, I hope he rots in hell and Nancy is right there with him.
The idiot OP never supported his assertion of racism.
Who are the people who had unprotected, promiscuous gay sex? Who are the people who willingly, gleefully shared dirty needles? Here's a hint: It wasn't Reagan.
Let's assume for a moment that Republican presidents want all gay people dead. Just assume.
We are now coming up on 16 years of Democratic presidential influence since Reagan left office.
Why didn't Clinton cure AIDS? (I'm sure he would have propagated it if Southern pageant winners carried HIV, but they generally don't)
Why hasn't 0bama cured AIDS?
Am I missing something? Did Reagan possess the cure, and he destroyed it? Is that why they blame him for the spread of AIDS?
Hey, DUmmies: the cure for AIDS has been known since it was called AIDS: don't **** or take drugs with someone who has it. How much funding do you need for that?
Let's assume for a moment that Republican presidents want all gay people dead. Just assume.Well, Octafish & other lunatic DUmmies think the BFEE spread AIDS and have been hiding the cure.

Well, Octafish & other lunatic DUmmies think the BFEE spread AIDS and have been hiding the cure.They also thought the BFEE was hiding Osama bin Laden at Bush's ranch in Crawford.
DUmmies also need to remember that the Democrat party controlled Congress for most of Reagan's term. They could have funded further research. Certainly President George W. Bush helped raise tons of $$$ into AIDS/HIV research & outreach across the globe.

I don't know, but didn't he cut funding for AIDS relief in Africa, after President Bush increased it by a boatload.
