[hope]

I already did...Nothing suprises me. Of course I still say it was much worse around here in 2000.

[hope]

Take a break and don’t read anything but the facts. Forget all the BS editorials...Look at the records. Their on the net...Not hard to find.

[Eric Blair 2084]

So you're the McCain supporter here. Wow! It's a pleasure to meet you.

I'm considering voting for the Turd Sandwich, because I am being threatened with Stalin, Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Hillary, Giant Douche and Osama bin Laden as the alternative.

But you know, Giant Douche has some good qualities...they speak very well. Why shouldn't I vote for Giant Douche instead?

[Eric Blair 2084]

"If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals–if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is. Now, I can’t say that I will agree with all the things that the present group who call themselves Libertarians in the sense of a party say, because I think that like in any political movement there are shades, and there are libertarians who are almost over at the point of wanting no government at all or anarchy. I believe there are legitimate government functions. There is a legitimate need in an orderly society for some government to maintain freedom or we will have tyranny by individuals. The strongest man on the block will run the neighborhood. We have government to insure that we don’t each one of us have to carry a club to defend ourselves. But again, I stand on my statement that I think that libertarianism and conservatism are travelling the same path".

1982 - Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act
1982 - Highway Revenue Act
1983 - Social Security Tax Increase
1984 - Deficit Reduction Act
1985 - Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
1986 - Tax Reform Act
1987 - Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act

I don’t even think we need to bring up the 1986 Illegal Aliens Amnesty bill.

I haven’t WON even ONE stem cell for my very OWN. Bit I agree with you anyway because the science says you’re on the right track.

[Postman]

When do you think that Howard Deam moment will come along?

[DoughtyOne]

I know.

[the invisib1e hand]

does it reaally matter at this point?

if "the people" are going to have any say at all, they're going to have to start acting like it's more than a shouting match.

"Did Nancy Reagan endorse Hillary or was Cindy Sheehan elected to even dogcatcher? We may be headed off in a handbasket, but Nancy supporting the leading GOP condidate is hardly earth-shattering. BTW, I seem to remember that Nancy was widely despised by many republicans back in the day. Oh how we easily forget "

There is wisdom in this answer. I sincerely thank you for this pespective. My apologies to Nancy Reagan for my rude sarcasm. Please forgive me.

[television is just wrong]

lol, I heard a few years ago, I think on Art Bell, that 2012 will be the last president of the U.S. as we know it. If that is the case McCain or whoever is elected will be the very last president we have. going down in flames.

Good post, people's memories tend to homogenize history.

The 1986 Tax Reform Act cut into unhealthy tax preferences, like getting depreciation tax deductions on real estate worth more than one's investment. Don't you agree it was healthy for the economy?

The Amnesty bill was likely the biggest ever (was there ever another blanket amnesty?). I believe it was done to deflate the revolutionary pressures on the Salvadorean people, where the communist insurgents were close to winning. As in Afghanistan, we paid a price to defeat the Soviet Union and its proxies.

The Salvadoreans themselves were hard-workers, but once in this country their kids got contaminated by the gang culture in the streets and schools.

Reagan and Mccain worked together a lot. Check out IRI site, They were very close friends

How about a Mitt Romney/Kay Bailey ticket?

Really? Who gives a rat’s rear end what Nancy Reagan thinks? Do we care what balet dancer Ron Jr. thinks? Hell no!
