Subject: RE: BS: Popular views on McCain
Sorry, I meant Wildebeest.

               I didn't mean to imply that I thought MoveOn was started under Reagan. I meant that the Reagan policies empowered it. One result of Reagan's breaking as many of the private sector unions as possible, was that the public employees grew in power and strength. Reagan couldn't break the public unions, i.e. teachers and etc. And maybe he didn't want to because they had a strong herd instinct and whoever was running Reagan could use that. Public employees gained, everyone else lost, and that didn't seem to bother the public employees at all.

               Unlike Barak Obama, I can't think of anything good to say about Ronald Reagan.
