USA President for 2008?

[paul]

Interesting take eddie.
I would beg to differ though. On matters of free trade, Reagan was a big advocate of this as were/are many consevatives. One would have to believe that Nafta and now Cafta would been endorsed by him. Also, Reagan was hardly known for his genuine compassion for the working man. I don't know if you were around but one of the first things he did was bust up PATCO, I think that was what they were called. They were the air traffic controllers union.
As for military protection the way you describe it, I remember hundreds of servicemen killed in a disco in Syria or Lebanon. As it has been for the last 60 years, that part of the world has been an especially dangerous place.
Reagan also supported Saddam Hussein and it was during his time in office Saddam allegedly gassed the Kurds. By the way, he was our boy and the CIA gave him logistical info. Fighting those commies weren't the only foreign policy interest Reagan had. As can be seen with Saddam and despots in Central America for example, it mattered little how humanitarian these people were that Reagan got in bed with.
Not trying to be contentious eddie but recent history has shown me that it's better to nip these things in the bud early when possible.

What a crock of Bullshit this statement is, I was all for firing this Patco Union members, they were making 100 times more than the average workers including huge benefits and yet they wanted more, they violated their federal contract, signed by all, which stipulated that they will be fired if they walked out, they were warned repeatelly and shown the WRITTEN PORTION IN THE CONTRACT THEY SIGNED!, but they couldn't care less if they bankrupt the economy by paralyzing air transportation and taking the jobs of millions of regular working Americans with them, their leftist Union bosses pushed them into a confrontation with a fresh President that did what He promised and fired their greedy asses out in the streets, replaced them all with fresh blood and military personal and kept the air traffic open for America like He promised the American people, Now, that's a President with Balls that keeps his word!, Oh yes, those that complied with the contract , not only kept their jobs but later got a raise!

They were killed by terrorist in Lebanon in their sleeping quarters while they were there
in a humanitarian mission helping refugees victims of that civil war, not as an invasion force. And the USA doesn't get to pick who are the leaders of this countries with whom we need to work with to protect our interest and that of the free world, they may be friendly and harmless today (Osama) and enemies and killers later, this is a well known fact acknowledge by all but by self-serving leftist like you and yours, this type of necessary alliances and betrayals have been part of human history since the beginning of civilizations, read a History book or watch the History channel :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol: and yet you want to extend all the credit in the world to the likes of Chavez :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Your kind always want to “Nip it in the butt” right here at Home first to weaken us in the face of our enemies, Sure, we got your number pal, You are really quite a character :lol: :lol:

Hey Mixmachine,
Glad to see you back in the mix :lol:
So I guess what Reagan did and how you feel about dem greedy union workers is what's called compassionate conservatism :D The nerve of them guys trying to make all that money and trying to become rich. Better to drag there asses down with the rest of us and maintain just a handful of wealthy people
So the USA doesn't pick leaders of nations huh...ohhhhh kay :roll: I guess the History Channel hasn't gotten around to Iran ~1953, or the various regimes or juntas that popped up from 60s, 70s, 80s in Central and South America.
Believe me, whatever I or other Liberals have said can't compare to what the Bush crime family has done in the face of our enemies. More than making the US look weak, this spawn of Barbara "Alien" Bush has emboldened the enemy with the havoc he and his ilk are wreaking on the planet.
As for being a character, coming from you I'm blushing all ohva 8)

The rules were spelled out in the Federal employment contract they signed pal, I know this means nothing to the likes of you, you have no honor and/or respect for anything or any one and your word means nothing, so I don't expect the likes of you to abide by a signed contract, right? but the President stood by his word and did what He promised and your previous description of what happened with Patco is pure BULLSHIT. If any other members of any Union can get rich so be it, as long as they follow the rules they agreed in the first place. Patco was not allowed to STRIKE! PERIOD!

I'm not one to drag anyone down, I'd leave that job to scummy leftist like you since you have more experience with destroying the human spirit. The reason I called them "greedy" is because they rejected a generous offer and were willing to disrupt the lives of millions of average Americans by illegally striking to further enrich them selves at our expense.

So the USA doesn't pick leaders of nations huh...ohhhhh kay :roll: I guess the History Channel hasn't gotten around to Iran ~1953, or the various regimes or juntas that popped up from 60s, 70s, 80s in Central and South America.

Yeah, I know, you rather Castro or Brezhnev (sp) had picked the leaders instead, but we already established you are and anti-American lunatic doing the enemies work from the inside Right? The Chinese are your "Daddy" now right ? :lol:

If only you democraps could produced a family of leaders with 10 % the qualities and success of the Bush family may be you could see the inside of the White House again soon, instead you give us screaming maniacs and unbalanced fool instead, :lol:

Well, Mimachine it may surprise you but in some ways I agreed with Reagan on Patco with regards to honoring the contract. Patco did have some legitimate grievances but it's been over 20 years so I can't remember clearly everything.
Patco and the government always had issues and it never came down to firing thousands of people prior to this.
As for picking leaders, I'd rather have the governed select their leadership. I know that is something you wingnuts have trouble with. Ya see, liberals believe democracy shouldn't just be some abstract cliche never to be practiced.
As for the Chinese, they may be all of our daddies the way Bush has screwed this economy up.
We would all be better served if we had the screaming maniac or unbalanced fool. Instead we've got the mush mouthed awol convicted drunk along with his drunk 5 deferment tin man buddy who talks a lot crap then runs to bunker at the first sign of trouble.
I'm glad Dean scares you guys. He's like sunlight to you neocon life suckin' vampires.
