The Republican Party's motto should be "What would Reagan do?"

[Ardent15]

Seriously, it's like Reagan was the second coming of Jesus to the Right-which, if you think about it, makes sense, as Reagan initiated the Apocalypse for many Americans (except the chosen wealthy few).

2. What I already thought that was their motto

The rewriting of recent history is amazing to anyone that lived before Nixon and Raygun, it's like an alternate reality. The only reason Rayguns economy didn't tank like the * economy did was because Raygun, for all his whining about welfare queens, kept his hands off welfare so laid off workers no longer able to get unemployment, had money to put into the Raygun economy. They were also able to keep their homes unlike many laid off or out of work people today.

3. Tweety on MSNBC's Hardball swooned over Reagan again!

He said Reagan wouldn't have ridiculed that man with Parkinson's Disease like the Teabaggers did. Said Reagan would have stopped and asked him what was going on... :puke:

4. The Republicans can get their own motto. That one is taken.

5. You read my mind.

I've been thinking the same thing recently with the purposed Reagan $50 bill, the re-writing of textbooks in Texas and every Republican in office or running for it talks about Reagan constantly. It's funny too because when you think of it, the right always mocks the left by calling Obama our "messiah".

7. They worship Reagan and Palin as if they were infallible deities.

Then they mock us for having confidence in Obama, saying he's our "Messiah". The ability of conservatives to do and say idiotic things and then falsely accuse liberals of doing the same thing is every bit as overwhelming as their hypocrisy and their inability to tell the truth. What unsavory people!

I swear, living in America in 2010 is like being stuck in the world's biggest day-care center with a huge bunch of squalling, ignorant, ill-behaved, terrified, bedwetting toddlers called republicans. It's enough to make you crazy.

6. They Make The Raygun Shit Up

Things like he "won the cold war"...uh wrongo, decades of economic corruption did the trick. Or there's the "cut taxes"...sure as hell didn't cut mine during that decade and then borrowned like a drunken sailor that forced Poppy booosh to raise taxes. Virtually every myth about Raygun you hear a wingnut spew is fabrication...fits the need or the moment. The "neat thing" about being dead, people can make shit up and whose to say different?

9. We wish. Beats the hell out of what-would-Bush-do.

Reagan, at least, seemed to have some vestige of a conscience.
