I never used to hate Ronald Reagan.
Advertisements [?]
Growing up, he seemed to me like a kindly and likable old
man, almost grandfatherly. I never realized what he truly was.
What he truly represented.
I'm not sure how much of it was really HIM, and how much
was his corrupt neocon cronies...but his administration is
responsible for giving us George W. Bush and his raping of
America.
As we see the full brunt of the disgusting economic
policies of Bush, taken straight from Reagan's sleazy
playbook, I have just this to say:
As much as I can find it within myself to hate someone,
I feel that for Ronald Reagan. His outlook, his views, his
way of running this country...it's a disease that still
infects us all. The fact that so many on the right still
gleefully carry his water like he's some kind of ****ing
saint makes me ill. What do they admire so much? His cowboy
diplomacy? His cock waving? His disgusting disregard for the
environment and for the poor?
This country was doomed the moment Ronald 'rat****er'
Reagan took the oath of office. The poison will only be
expunged when Dems take back the White House and Congress and
show some ****ing progressive spine for once. The Reagan
Revolution is finally in its death throes. George W. Bush was
only a pathetic shadow of the vile evil that Reagon embodied.
The evangelicals are no longer the force they once were for
the right. Now is our time, our opportunity, to destroy the
loathsome legacy of Ronald Reagan and but to rest the notion
that America admires that kind of greed-based outlook. Time
to drive a stake into the heart of St. Rollie once and for
all.
In closing: **** Reagan and anyone who dares try to
justify his awful presidency.
Feel the love from the true fascists.

4. Now, THERE's something we have in common. That senile old **** did more damage
to America than anyone else, except for bushyboy, of course.

14. Without Unca Ronnie, there would be no Dubya.
Can you imagine where we'd be if Carter had won in 1980? It's like we've had a mini-Dark Ages.
We would probably be a Soviet satellite and you DUmbasses would be really imprisoned for your ranting about the good life you are entitled to.
On with the show.

29. Me too! Hated him in 1976
when he tried to steal the Republican nomination from Ford. My Mom and Grandma hated him too. Noni called him "old turkey neck." We all knew he was dangerous.

52. me too...always destested him
and i never understood why anyone voted for him.
You never will either...it is called love of our country and the freedom of opportunity it provides.
You want a guarantee of prosperity which no one or system can do so you have condemned yourself to misery.
Hope you find it satisfying.

and still do, for all the reasons you listed. Welcome to the club.
edited because I hate him so much I apparently can't even spell his name. lol
Lurking DUmmies......President Reagan is solidly listed in every way as one of the top 10 Presidents this nation has ever had.
What are you going to do when the same happens with President Bush in a few years.
I laugh at your hopeless hatred and lunacy.
