On the Raygun Dime: Will we be able to distinguish between heads and tails

[trumad]

Just askin?

[Mikimouse]

1. Oh sure, easily...

the half with the hooves and tail should give it away!:evilgrin: That would be heads, right?

[elfin]

2. No

We'll keep forgetting which is which - will have to ask Nancy what the right answer is.

[liberalmuse]

3. Wait...

this is a joke, right? I mean, they're not really going to put Reagon on the dime and take off FDR, are they? Please tell me we're not going to let them do this!

[trumad]

4. No joke at all

The Conservative Freepers are all in a lather over this....

They've already got half the street names, Airports and highways named after the dumbass...why not legal tender?

5. I heard on NPR yesterday that this came about from the Regan biography

I had heard of it before but I didn't know what brought it up. Some Repube yahoo (from Indiana I think) must have had this laying around his office and he introduced it or is talking about introducing it next year. Something like that. No this is for real and real sad.

[liberalmuse]

8. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

If this happens, I'm going to petition to stop it. I will be petty and childish and refuse to carry dimes in my wallet, or take them from cashiers. I can't believe this. FDR saved this nation. What did Reagan ever do, but rape the treasury, put us trillions in debt and make idiocy acceptable in the White House? This is unreal.

6. Same Difference

7. The heads is the part with the horns

9. The FDR dime is a tribute to polio victims everywhere

FDR was placed on the dime as a tribute to the March of Dimes, an organization that raised funds that helped find the polio vaccine. To take off his portrait from the dime is a slap in the face to all those who suffered and survived polio, and to all those who raised funds to help Jonas Saulk find the vaccine.

10. Good points to send to the media

11. If there is any justice

He wont be on it. I'll boycott dimes and start using canadian dimes if i have to.

12. Don't you have to be dead to be on US currency?

Isn't wishing for a Reagan coin simply rushing the death of their icon?

[rustydog]

14. Well, technically, he has been brain-dead since 1980....

But having him on a dime would be appropriate...he is the reason so many millions of people were on the street saying: "hey man, can you spare a dime?"

He should be on a wanted poster simply for the thousands who died of Aids and Reagan said and did NOTHING.

His Presided over the most corrupt Administration in history, but I think Dubya has surpassed Reagan's "Legacy". It doesn't matter how loud the Repugnants scream, the world knows Ronnie sucked as a president.
I love how Republicans try so hard to honor mediocrity.

13. Got this from a friend on another board ........

"Don’t pee on my leg and tell me it’s “trickle down economics.”

The Repugs can spin & dance all they want, but I think they only have two chances of getting this to come to pass. Slim & None!
