A Game : Let's see who can tell the biggest lie about Reagan...I'll start.
Ronald Reagan was a good Christian and a family man. That is why the Christian right respected him so. OK beat that one! :)

I get it!
You're going to take this list and compare it line by line with the Washington Times obituary to show they're the same, right?

Well if that wasn't you plan somebody else should. (I'm too lazy)

18. Oh, I think the propagandists over at CNN are doing a bang-up job lying
about Reagan.

You'd think Ghandi died.

I am surprised that the Repukes needed to take Ronnie out of the freezer for a funeral this early in the campaign. It's a measure, I think, of their desperation.

Let's tell some truth about Reagan:

He pioneered neoconism: He paralyzed the economy with debt, built useless weapons systems, destroyed the Supreme Court, showed complete disinterest in Government, was incompetant at recognizing trends, administered a dysfunctional and incompetant CIA (They didn't notice that the Soviet Union was on the verge of collapse?), took all kinds of credit for standing in the right place at the right time, depended wholly on a teleprompter to deliver his lines, had a compliant right wing press to applaud his incompetence.

Now, of course, having survived Reaganism with the good efforts of Bill Clinton, were back in the Reagan game, only worse. This time there will be hell to pay, since unbelievably, the neo-Reagan is even more imcompetant than the original.

28. Remember the SNL sketch
Where Ronnie acted competent and brilliant behind the scenes, but when Jimmy Stewart came by to visit he acted like the bonzo we all hated and abhored?

The biggest lie was he gave a rats ass about the Presidency.
