I can only imagine how Reagan would have replied to the congenital liars on the left. I heard the lefty who made the movie about Reagan on Fox over the weekend. He tried to say the Reagan liked budget deficits.
The truth is that the Democrats doubled down on spending when Reagan sold the tax cuts directly to the citizens. They tried to force Reagan to abandon tax cuts with budget deficits. I vividly remember Tip O'Neill standing up in a news conference, more than once, saying that "President Reagan's budget is dead on arrival" in the House of Representatives.
Somebody needs to dig up that clip to put an end to the lies the Rats are spreading about Reagan. The Left is absolutely repulsive!!!!!!
Obama claims to be appropriating Reagan but is mostly appropriating Herbert Hoover.
Democrats should “stop appropriating” FDR and JFK!
Oh wait, never mind, they can keep them.
“Appropriating”? Those liberals threw him out and now blame us for accpeting him? Stupid idiots.
Libs laying any claim to the legacy of “Ronnie Ray Gun,” as they derisively called him in his time, is ludicrous.
Interesting concept. You’re probably on to something there.
Trust but verify
in a speech a couple of days ago.
Neither is sunlight, I expect.
We will when you tell that flop ear marxist Muslim usuper mulatto ignoramus communist fascist homosexual in the WH to stop Andrea. You slutty pockfaced communist elist shanty tramp whore.
can’t help myself. I am okay after getting that out. whew!
They should stop denying Karl Marx. That would at least bring a note of truth to the whole discussion.
Andrea Mitchell re-invents her past
Talking Back…To Presidents, Dictators and Assorted Scoundrels. By Andrea Mitchell
Mitchell remarks that White House chiefs of staff like Bob Haldeman and Donald Regan were “short on character or judgment” but offers no supporting evidence. She says that Regan “had been slandering me in public settings,” but the nature of that slander is for Mitchell to know and the reader to find out. Of her NBC colleague Chris Wallace, she says, “At times our personalities clashed,” but those clashes are left to the reader’s imagination. When Mitchell last saw her old Philadelphia nemesis Frank Rizzo in 1991, she recalls, “We made our peace,” but she offers no elaboration. At the 1993 Middle East peace ceremony on the White House lawn, she tells us, “The speeches were extraordinary,” but neglects to tell us what made them so.
As for Mitchell’s famous husband, she assures us that “Alan is constantly amusing” but provides no examples other than a surprise birthday party Greeenspan threw for her, where he made “a lovely and affectionate toast,” highlights of which Mitchell does not divulge.
Similarly superficial is Mitchell’s insight into the great events she has covered. Jimmy Carter’s fellow Democrats, she recalls, “did not like his domestic policies,” without saying which policies or why. Mitchell mentions her meetings with Teresa Heinz Kerry but offers no insight into Heinz Kerry’s character. Did Ronald Reagan end the Cold War? “The answer is complicated,” Mitchell concludes. Having covered the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island in 1979 and then returned for a follow-up in 2003, Mitchell sums up, “To make nuclear power viable and safe, utility companies have to be good corporate citizens and not cut corners on safety even during periods of lax regulation.” And you thought the solution involved praying to the tooth fairy.
About her first marriage: In the early ‘70s, when I knew her as a fellow parent at Greenfield Elementary School in Center City, Mitchell was married to Gil Jackson, a black man who worked in the public affairs department at Smith, Kline & French (now GlaxoSmithKline) while struggling to launch a career as an independent film producer.
The marriage broke up shortly before Mitchell left Philadelphia for Washington in 1976, and Jackson subsequently died.
But in Talking Back Mitchell doesn’t mention Jackson or that marriage at all. On the contrary, she seems to bend over backwards to erase its memory. She mentions, for example, her role as godmother to the three children of her NBC News colleague Judy Woodruff, commenting that “In many ways, they and my nieces and nephew have become surrogates for the children I never had.” But she did once have children, or at least stepchildren. She simply declines to acknowledge them.
Andrea Mitchell: “My husband keeps appropriating your magazine in his sock drawer.”
Just remain quiet and never say another word. /sarcasm
Fledermaus to Andrea Mitchell: Stop “Appropriating” the Scarecrows brain. He has first dibs.
Instead of us being forced to enjoy her Alzheimer's onset...
From the ass of what dead animal did Andrea Mitchell appropriate her face?

As they say on Twitter: OMG!!!
For being HLS trained, it was quite disingenuous to try to stop the use
of a speech given by an elected official.
