When will some people GROW UP?!?!?!
Obama did NOT praise Reagan.

Those of you who distort the truth are no better than the Republicans. Shame on you.

7. What am I editing

13. Here try this as a basic editing tutorial
I went to a restaurant yesterday and had a great meal. Later I went home and watched a video. It was pretty funny and it got me laughing so hard that I almost choked.

Vs

I went to a restaurant yesterday and... almost choked.

I didn't say you told lies, I said you edited reality.

Clark voted for Reagan 23 years ago. He actively supports Hillary now. The level of committment varied significantly, and a lot has happened in 23 years.

16. Nice spin
Why can't Tom Rinaldo, as a poster and as a Hillbot, speak without barraging us with commas, adjectives, and page after page of journal posts.

The Audacity of Pith!

Think about it.

11. We're supposedly Democrats here
and we do not accept the fact that we lost even when we do lose. It's a conspiracy thing.

4. If you think this is criticism, you're crazy.
"I think Ronald Reagan changed the trajectory of America, in a way that Richard Nixon did not, and in a way that Bill Clinton did not. He put us on a fundamentally different path because the country was ready for it. I think they felt like with all the excesses of the 1960s and 1970s and government had grown and grown but there wasn't much sense of accountability in terms of how it was operating. . . . He just tapped into what people were already feeling, which was, 'We want clarity, we want optimism.'"

10. That's what Reagan did
If you think it isn't, gee, I guess you're crazy. Since you're throwing the word around anyway.

Obama sad he wanted to be a transformative President, change the trajectory away from Reagan, in a way that Clinton wasn't able to do. That is in that interview too, but nobody ever posts that part.

8. If it makes you feel any better I don't believe Obama prefers Reagans policies
over Bill Clintons. I also know that Obama is a solid and ultimately progressive Democrat. Aspects of his comments I did not find helpful to our cause, but I also agreed with many of the points Obama was making in that interview.

14. Do you find Wes Clark
and his supporting Ronald Reagan helpful to the Democrats cause. May want to edit that from Tom Rinaldo's fragile reality!

20. I find Wes Clark to be extremely helpful to the Democrats cause
He was the Democrat most frequently requested to come into Congressional Districts to campaign for Democratic candidates in 2006, for one simple example of that.

Jimmy Carter, who happened to be the Democratic President who Ronald Reagan actually defeated, was among the Democratic leaders who called Wes Clark in 2003 to urge him to run for President. Feel free to edit that into your own reality in return.

15. I can't wait for the next 'outrage'
this one is getting so stale. Maybe they'll go away for a while, and we can go back to discussing silly things like our Justice System, Foreign Policy, the corruption of all the government agency's, the lack of security and lack of credibility in our voting systems, and the lack of accountability in all of the above. Or, maybe we'll wait until after the election.
