You have been anything BUT civil in this thread, so don't even try the civility crap on me. You said what you said about Reagan and it is there for everyone to see. When you claim that Reagan KNEW that the Therapeutic Abortion Act would be abused as badly as it was yet signed it anyway you cast some pretty terrible aspersions upon the greatest President ever to serve. Yet, when called on it, instead of retracting your statement you claim Reagan is your hero and say that the person who caught you is telling an outrageous lie. The tactic you were using, making Reagan look bad by telling lies about him to make a liberal candidate look better, is the same thing that got a number of other FReepers banned. You really need to use your head once in a while and stay clear of that area of debate.

I have never cast aspersions on Ronald Reagan. That's in your little mind, Spiff.

He continuously explained that we had to compromise to achieve anything of substance in those days. He did not have the luxury of a majority in Congress.

And please do tell all of us exactly where I was attempting "to make a liberal candidate look better"?

I don't support Rudy as the candidate. So I don't know what your talking about.

You need to slow down and take a breath, IMO. You're wound way too tight.

But you DID right here in this post. You said that Reagan signed an abortion bill, as Governor, knowing full well that it would be abused to legalize the millions of abortions it was never intended to. That's a terrible thing to say especially when Reagan himself said that he didn't know it would be abused like that. If he's your hero, as you claim, then you would not say untrue things like that.
