Americans want Reagan right now. Poll....

Only if you cherry pick polls and ignore the majority of them in favor of the one with which you agree.

 

I'm thinking the folks in the polls I posted would disagree with you.

I think every poll has a certain amount of merit. Some are more biased than others, of course.

 

I would suggest that polls asking about dead presidents have less merit than those on the issues that folks care about. You know the ones I mean. Those that you chose to ignore.

 

And I'm betting if you actually quizzed those polled about what Reagan actually did, they would probably fail the quiz

 

Haters gonna hate.

 

Eddie...your link from the uber conservative Ashcroft Institute (John Ashcroft) reminded me of when Ashcroft was Attorney General and ordered the "Spirit of Justice" statute covered at DOJ briefings when photographers would photograph him with his head just below her boob.

I would rather discuss those more relevant polls you continue to ignore, but I guess that is not gonna happen.

Blaming the "haters" rather than discussing the facts that dont support your position is the easy way out.

 

Well, this thread is dedicated to the legacy of the greatest President in the history of the U.S. If you'd like to discuss something else then start a thread and I will participate in it.

So why dont you like those polls?

 

Thanks for the link. Look for my respond there.

 

Sure, go ahead, but I won't be participating in Reagan bashing.

 

Oh, so you want positive comments only?

Yeah, not really part of a mature discussion. If you didn't want discussion, you should have put this in Found On The Net. Should I move it there for you?

(oh, and there were still 4 polls quoted, not 3 - it takes a big man to admit he was wrong. Guess we know what that means about you.)

 

Don't matter to me. You do what you gotta do.

 

The guy suffered from Alzheimer's for a good part of his last term. If that earns him "Greatest President in the history of the US" status than it's safe to say that you don't place the bar very high. Anything good that came out of his last term was probably Nancy's doing. And that is not bashing, it's merely a now known fact.

Anecdotal: I was a team member on a pub quiz recently. The question was: name the last 10 US Presidents. I think there were 8 of us on the team. All but one of us remembered every president but Reagan. I have no idea what that means.

I think that might be an oxymoron.

 

I worked in the Senate for two years during the Reagan era and recall my boss, Sen. Jennings Randolph, always the southern gentleman and never one for harsh criticism, describing Reagan as amiable.

Waxing nostalgic...Washington was a much more collegial place back then, not only with respect to the partisan differences in Congress, but relations between the opposition party in Congress and the White House as well.

 

Oops, yes I did. It's definitely not an oxymoron.

 

I dunno, Derwood. I live in a small town in the midwest.
Lots of folks gather round the check-out counter at the Kwik-Trip and collectively mumble their mantra:
"We gotta get rid o' that nigger muslim Hussein Obamma"

The Reagan I knew, would have been right on board with that line of tripe.
