Ronnie Raygunz: Contra-diction

For the young among you who haven't learned history and thus might unwittingly or even wittingly repeat it, St. Ronald Wilson Raygun, a minor B list Prez ruling in a time of change held strong anti-terror views--until of course he needed money for his terrorists--the Nicaraugan Contras--so St Ronnie sold US weapons to still other terrorists in Iran.

Therein lies a lesson how checks and balances of hte US Constitution ought to work but did not in this case

Saint Ronald Wilson Reagan, aka. Grandpa Caligula, Teflon Ron, or Ronnie Raygun (February 6, 1911 – June 5, 2004) was a god aong men B-movie actor with a long career.
If you want to know how the United States transformed into an international laughingstock in the course of 30 years, here's a pretty good place to start. http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Ronald_Reagan

(Suck on that, ron.)

McCain the fabulist and Reagan the liar

McCain campaign ad irony alert: narrator, "Only 1 man didn't play politics with the truth," as video plays of St. John walking and talking with Pres. Raygunz.

If 1 spoke truth, then Ronnie must have lied through his teeth when he told the American people he would not negotiate with terrorists while at the same time his administration personally delivered a birthday cake and a Bible to Ayatollah Khomeini as we illegally sold Iran weapons.

If Ronnie Raygunz ever did meet the truth, he raped, sodomized, decapitated it and then kept the torso for future necrophilia.

But the American people voted for him anyway even after he said in first debate against Mondale that only opposition to dictator Marcos in Philippines and against apartheid in S Africa came from communists, an absurd, fantastical statement.

Nevertheless the media—led by George Will ‘s supposedly neutral commenting on ABC after working as Reagan debate coach—focused on Raygunz “performance”—“there you go again”—rather than the falsehoods he uttered.

That explains how otherwise logical people can vote vote for fact free McCain; they become seduced by emotional impact of words they hear rather than analyze them for factual content.
