Financed with $3,000,000,000,000 of debt (how good can _you_ make the
economy look by giving everyone in the country $10,000? (well,
actually only the rich got the money))

Blew billions of dollars on the Star Wars boondoggle.

Crap.  The USSR's economy fell apart.

This is "great"?  Firing people is supposed to be a great
accomplishment?

>* Strong leadership, no waffling.    FACT

"Stay the course" right into recession.

Clinton liberated Haiti.  BFD.

Khaddafi is still ruler of Libya.  And Reagan only killed a few people
with that air raid and the subsequent retaliation.  But what's a
couple hundred lives.  Especially considering the terrorism he funded
in Central America killed thousands.

>* Your an idiot.   FACT

Ah.  I hadn't realized the calibre of person defending Reagan's
presidency.  Oh, and by the way, it should be: You're an idiot.
