1. WOW, I guess Reagan is only an ASSHOLE when Hillary is trying to win an election
"Hillary and I will always remember President Ronald Reagan for the way he personified the indomitable optimism of the American people, and for keeping America at the forefront of the fight for freedom for people everywhere."

4. At the death of Regan. Everyone praises a President at
is death, funeral or in life when he receives an honor for
example. That is just the way things are done in a polite
society.

Bill and Hilary did not give big interviews and extol the
opposition's "great leader".

Saying Bill Clinton did not make change in the same interview
is what caught the attention of many. At least Bill Clinton
stopped the damage being done to the country by Regan Policies.
Many Democrats would say Bill Clinton did make change.

For many of us GWB picked up the Regan Mantle and carried
it to its logical extension--the country has been run into
a ditch by Regan Policies.


Everyone remebers the good things about a person at their
death, or when they are receiving an honor. This is not
giving an interview and writing a book in which praise
is bestowed. Apples and oranges.

Perhaps some did not understand that Regan is not a revered
figure among rank and file Democrats. Do not forget his
whopper of a Deficit. Part of the Plan--GWB has followed
suit with another whopper of deficit.

5. Regardless of the circumstance you can't make a statement one year and expect me. . .
. . .to ignore it later.

After all Clinton's supporters are quick to point out Barack's high school drug use which he wrote about in his book. If that is relevant then so are Bill and Hillary's comments about Reagan.
