Fill that out and tell me what your annual income is.

If you are not making more than 250K, you will NOT see your taxes be raised. And I really highly doubt anyone here makes more than 250K a year.

If people are in a situation where they know they personally will be better off with McCain than Obama, than more power to them for voting for McCain. I won't complain if people look out for themselves, cos I'd do the same shit. I'd also say that to the people that would be better off under Obama than McCain. Look out for yourselves/family tbh.

Dunno, same goes for alot of poor/not so rich people that want McCain to win. Some people put other issues ahead of things like tax/economy I guess (I wouldn't, personally)

Besides celebs know they will be rich as long as they're famous and that tax barely matters to them. They know they'll only stay famous if they're popular with the right kind of people and that's why they're all for Obama, at the end of the day I think they're all still just looking out for themselves, mostly

Reagan wasn't even canonized by the Fox network until just a few years ago.  IIRC he was a running joke towards the end of his own administration, pilloried as anything from malicious and dangerous to just a doddering old fool (or one acting like the other).  Reagonomics and the S+L failure were tied together, as was his attack on gun rights and property rights through the "War on Drugs" not to be out-done until PATRIOT acts.  He took credit for beating the USSR, which is just laughable...they hung themselves but revisionist history said that our military spending made them bankrupt, BS.  We won't even get into his massive human rights abuses by supporting fascist rebellions and dictators in South America or the all too famous Arms for Hostages fiasco (which Reagan conveniently forgot any details about).

The revisionists want to give Reagan credit for the "good times" during the 80's, but really it was Voelcker's schizophrenic interest rate playing that both trashed Carter and gave Ray-gun his '84 win.

So I guess I should be worried when the democrats start calling Obama the Democrat version of Reagan? The USSR hung themselves? How so? By trying to keep up with something that they couldn't keep up with. They were focused on the wrong issues. We are ALL fortunate that it ended the way it did. The support of those "fascist rebellions and dictators" preceded Reagan. Carter, aside from destroying the economy, also partnered up with Tito, Ceausescu, Ortega, and Kim il-sung. Reagan was no perfect man.. but what Politician can not be dissected and scrutinized using the luxury of hind sight?

Bush isn't running.
Literally, no. Good eye son. John McCain is running with Bush's policies. That is the point. John Sidney McSame sold his soul to the RNC.
No. He's not. But don't bother yourself with actually researching McCain's policies. Just keep lapping up the DNC talking points you're being fed by the MSM.

We beat the Soviet Union for one reason only...  We could borrow more.  We could afford to go further into debt than they could.  This isn't revisionism -- it's truth.

Here's what I don't get...  People champion Reagan's ability to communicate while in the same conversation say that government does more harm than good.  Even your sig mentions that we really don't have the right to govern others -- yet, time and time again, we enter various conflicts we don't belong in and encroach upon the freedoms of our own people.

It just doesn't make any sense.

Yes we do/are .. it's under the guise that they are encroaching into our freedoms. Wasn't it Carter who set forth the policy of military interventionism in order to protect ME oil? Wasn't it Bill Clinton who made it the official policy to remove Saddam? Bush, in the post 9/11 world, put those two policies in high gear (with help from the Dems). I do not advocate any of it. I previously mentioned Reagan was not perfect. But when he spoke people believed him.. foreign and domestic. He didn't have to use crushing force to get his point across. That is the kind of great communicator we need now, and even Barry'O agrees with that assessment.

I'm starting to think what the world needs is an America that stops fucking with the world so much.  Maybe Obama can bring back better diplomacy to our leadership, but it would also be good if we'd just stop getting involved in so many different conflicts.

Most of the world would seem to prefer that we mind our own business.

When is the last time we had a President that didn't assert our global influence? If it isn't us be assured it will be someone else. That is unless of course humanity has some sort of drastic moral revolution and history becomes non repetitive.

Great post. I don't mean to diss Saint Ronald but I agree that there is a definite tendency in modern times to move away from critical assessment of the past towards soft-focus revisionism when it comes to a President or world leader who has done one or two things right in their time. Politics is always a very grey area, no one is ever all the way good or all the way bad. Mr. Reagan may have done great things with the US economy but on an International front he did lend support to several 'questionable' movements and leaders in various countries during his time.
