Put Reagan’s Image on the Black Budget
Spend One for the Gipper
By DAVID PRICE

>>>…..
One benefit of this approach would be that when a sitting President was discovered to be issuing high levels of Black-Budget-Gipper notes their indiscretion could be politely overlooked just as Reagan’s was by adapting to their own use his wonderful hand-caught-in-the-cookie-jar-statement that, “a few months ago I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostages. My heart and my best intentions still tell me that’s true, but the facts and the evidence tell me it is not.” This model sentence could honor the Reagan legacy by providing a Teflon shield for the exposed covert actions of future administrations……<<<<<

Read that last statement. He’s literally trying to spin to us that (i) we get scared when things are going well (as opposed to when things are going TOO well, and confuses the two in the mind of the reader), and (ii) things are going just fine.

Thanks for the lesson, ditto monkey. Rush would be proud of you…

I’ll tell you one thing right now: This country can’t stand 4 more years of Bush. It would survive another 8 years of a Reagan, but at the end we’d all still be right where we started: An America of decadence and backward morality where the real issues are locked down and refused to be discussed. Not the least bit ironically, thats exactly what happened from 1980-1988.

Ever notice the country only goes forward with a Democrat in the White House? There’s a reason for that.

Seems to me he was a bit of a dumb-ass all round…

The way economic policy works (end of term affects next term)

Do you think that Clinton benefited from the preceding presidents fiscal planning?
