Subject: RE: BS: Ronald Reagan - Sadly Missed
Martin - the reason he won the first of the elections is that he and his cronies conspired to keep the hostages in Iran - that was the undoing of Carter. Could Reagan have won the election without it? Probably, but we'll never know because Regan did something not only illegal but a crime against those hostages and their families.

All you who like him, usually love his "there you tax and spend Democrats go again" but in his 8 years he not only raised taxes he spent far more than those taxes brought in so that we were massively in debt. Of course the Nazi in the office right now is doing the same thing, but real Republicans are so screwed up they don't even know how to fight what they're against.

I'm with Joe above - John Paul II, Thatcher and Reagan are all crap.
