They (the politicians) only pretend to care about the people.<BR/><BR/>Isn't it deliciously ironic that McCain (Keating Five) is allowing Gramm to serve as his economic spokesmen. Hey did you notice all the Chinese made paper flags are no longer dangling from the sides of cars? Why show patriotism to a corporation (USA INC.) that despises you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11753985.post-68061231411419234162008-07-18T18:58:00.000-05:002008-07-18T18:58:00.000-05:00Must be one of the "25 percenters".

He was praising Reagan to the high heavens over the way he "stood up" to the Sandinistas, who he was making out to be these dictatorial monsters. Carlson's "liberal" counterpart on the panel didn't challenge him at all.<BR/><BR/>Does anyone remember: the Sandinistas were DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED in a heavily-monitored election that NO ONE even claimed wasn't fairly run.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, Reagan and his team illegally and secretly sold arms to terrorists in Iran and then turned around and used that money to fund terrorists in Central America who were killing men, women and children in their bid to overthrow the democratically elected government of Nicaragua.<BR/><BR/>And the Sandinistas were the bad guys?Marc McDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17105754072842852126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11753985.post-30030606030831983762008-07-16T02:56:00.000-05:002008-07-16T02:56:00.000-05:00"A stock market boom" -- you mean like that one in..."A stock market boom" -- you mean like that one in 1987?<BR/><BR/>"Failed tax-and-spend policies" -- you mean like when we had only a $1 trillion national debt, compared with $9 trillion now? (It would be higher if Clinton hadn't forced a modest tax hike on the rich in '93, which by the end of his presidency gave us a surplus that Bush II quickly sabotaged.)<BR/><BR/>"8 years of prosperity and economic growth and a stock market boom." Sounds a lot like the Clinton era to me.<BR/><BR/>People like you are terribly confused.Manifesto Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06521151220297061304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11753985.post-3012808702307954582008-07-15T16:55:00.000-05:002008-07-15T16:55:00.000-05:00I can't understand why you Libs despise Ronald Rea...I can't understand why you Libs despise Ronald Reagan so much. In the 1980s, America enjoyed 8 years of prosperity and economic growth and a stock market boom. Do we really want to go back to the failed tax-and-spend policies of Jimmy Carter and the failed Great Society programs? I'm old enough to remember the 1970s, with high gas prices, high taxes and high interest rates---I do not wish to return to that era.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
