Reagan took on the soviets while allowing Europe to hide under the umbrella of pacifism. Europe got lucky.Mek-Stizzle wrote:

Republicans blame the person that they picked for the loss. That just makes me laugh every time I see it.
That is like blaming a passenger in a car for the the drivers accident.
I wish the republican's would just shut up, haven't they learned yet how it is hurting their party?

Yea yea.. I've heard it all before, fundamentally flawed, yada yada. Reagan and Gorby got to the table and signed the Nuclear Forces Treaty. That's about the most important thing he did. Although the treaty is being dismantled now.Mek-Stizzle wrote:
USSR collapsed because of alot of reasons (yes, Reagan's USA being one of them), and at that time, UK had no time to deal with the Ruskies. There were enemies much closer to home, enemies who were being funded by quite a few people in the US

What's wrong with Biden again? He's too agressive? I think he was the perfect pick.usmarine wrote:

She solidified a base that wasn't about to vote Obama anyways. I can't fault her for doing her job. I fault the people who thought that was a job that needed to be done.Turquoise wrote:

Agreed... Biden can say some crazy things occasionally, but he's actually a good policymaker.Roc18 wrote:

Well, I'd be a bit disturbed that so much of the GOP actually likes her that much. Even if I was a conservative, I'd recognize how dumb she is.Kmarion wrote:

Sure as soon as he figures out what that policy is. Voted for the war.. wrong. Said the surge would fail.. wrong. Said that he and Obama were against clean coal.. wrong. Tried to miraculously heal a paraplegic .. wrong.Turquoise wrote:

He's done a lot more than embarrass himself in the 35 years he's been in office. You know this.Kmarion wrote:

His success is in his domestic legislation. I have absolutely no problem with what he has achieved there.Turquoise wrote:

For the most part, I agree. I do disagree with Biden on certain things though. For example, he's way too interventionist for my tastes. He's also very pro-War on Drugs. We need to legalize weed, damn it.Kmarion wrote:

Biden authored and passed the landmark Violence Against Women Act, the strongest legislation to date that criminalizes domestic violence and holds batterers accountable.
Biden was a strong supporter of the Family and Medical Leave Act, cracked down on deadbeat dads, and has been a consistent champion for equal pay.
In 1996, Biden authored legislation to create a national registry of sex offenders, which tracks people convicted of sex crimes involving violence or committed against minors.
I can see why people support it, but I'm personally against sex offender registry lists.Kmarion wrote:

lol... I'm against the government making lists that ensure that someone who has committed a crime will continue to be on the fringes of society even after serving their time, which makes it more likely for them to commit the same crimes as before when they are released back into society.Kmarion wrote:

Oh I see, you're worried about the sex offender being placed on the "fringes of society". Not protecting families from known animals...Turquoise wrote:

I have foresight... which makes me very weird, I guess.
Um... no... you're actually pretty demented if you're ok with taking someone who is a sex offender, imprisoning them, then releasing them while they are on a list that ensures permanent ostracization.Kmarion wrote:

Here's a clue, you make the decision to commit a sex crime, It's your fault. You made the choice to be on the fringes of society.
Nice logic btw. "Oh shit people know I am raping kids so I can't help but rape again because they are aware of me". What was their excuse the first time? Unreal.
If you suddenly feel the urge to tear off an eight year olds panties do us all a favor and swallow a bullet. Your priorities are jacked. You've got a demented view of who should be protected first.
Most of these assholes already have a pattern of repeat behavior. They have an embedded and extremely perverse sense sexuality. What kind of crack do you have to smoke to think that by warning people it will somehow make the rape of your kid more likely? .. I'm the demented one though.Turquoise wrote:

In all honesty, it would be better to just kill sex offenders than do all this to them, because the current system is a perfect recipe for repeat offenses.
