Thank God Reagan stood up to the idiots that claimed disarmament was the only way.
The only empirical way to disprove them was to disarm and then suffer an attack.
Of course Reagan had the backbone not to cow to the appeasers, communist sympathizers, and outright cowards.
His stalwart and unswerving conviction to deploy the Pershing II destroyed the disarmament lobbies argument that this would lead to nuclear war.
It did not.
In fact Reagan forced the Soviet's to the negotiating table, and established the fact he would confront the Soviet's that led directly to their economic collapse.

Reagan brought down the Berlin Wall while the New Deal never ended the Depression.
The gap between Reagan's successes and FDR's failures is enormous.

Pretty sure this is the wrong thread, man.

And also, if you have a choice where the only outcomes are "victory" and "nuclear armageddon" why shouldn't you take it? Not as if anyone's going to be alive to blame you.

Yes.

Anyone who votes for him is living in a cave.

The communists in Hollywood tried their best to demolish Reagan's policies that were obviously crippling the Soviet Union's economy with the major network release of movie "The Day After" and endless news magazine articles on nuclear winter.
Of course not matter how openly sympathetic with communists any Hollywood power brokers or media journalists were there was an endless smear campaign against anyone that publicly called them communists.

Reagan withstood it all and won the Cold War that the ineptness of FDR's dealings with Stalin began.

Ford disagrees. Anyway I find it funny that all these Reagan economic advisers are always in the media bashing Republicans. LOL.

News Flash for Nubz,

Spineless communists worms always back down when confronted.
It's as certain as the sun coming up in the East.

Well. I don't think Perry, Bauchmann or Romney can beat Obama (mainly because I don't want them to).

However it its Cain, Gingrich or Paul (RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT!), then I think he has the potential to be one of the best presidents, if not the best.

After reading through the list I also like Roemer, and Johnson

"It's as certain as the sun coming up in the East."
If you can tell me where "East" is I'll believe that is a certain statement.

Any one of those three will beat Obama Fasces.

Americans have no appetite for stagnant economies that Canadians or Europeans will tolerate for extended periods.

Obama is done.

"stagnant economies that Canadians or Europeans will tolerate for extended periods."
They prefer self-destructive ones.

I wouldn't say the fasted recession recovery time in the western world a stagnation...

But theres a few exceptions, like Spain and Greece! Let's single them out and say they collapsed because they were socialist! Nevermind the fact that they are some of the more right-wing countries in Europe, and that most of Europe shrugged off the recession...

The Bush tax cut for the top income bracket was .05%
No wonder jobs weren't created.
Reagan reduced rates dramatically and the economy boomed.
There is nothing quite as satisfying as watching the macroeconomic stimulus advocated by big government advocates continually fail.
It failed under Roosevelt, unemployment was in the double digits from 1933-1940 despite the massive deficits of the New Deal.
It failed under Johnson-Nixon-Ford-Carter and left us with the horrendous stagflation period that lasted from 1969-1982.
It failed under Obama in the stimulus, cash for clunkers, the GM bailout, and all the other macroeconomic stimulus.

If you want job creation and economic growth you cut taxes, leave the money in the private sector, and reward growth with increased income.

It worked under Secretary of Treasury Mellon, under JFK's tax reduction passed after his death, and under Reagan.

End of story.
End of the fantasy that government macroeconomic stimulus leads to anything but massive deficits and stagnant economic performance.

President Obama has hit new lows in the McClatchy-Marist poll on job performance, favorability and his handling of the economy. Compounding the problems for the president, the poll shows a majority of Americans hold a bleak outlook on the nation's unemployment situation.

The McClatchy-Marist poll finds the president's job approval rating at 39 percent among registered voters, while 52 percent disapprove. His grades are lower among independents: 32 percent approve and 57 percent disapprove.

Obama’s favorability ratings are also upside down: 46 percent view him favorably while 48 percent have an unfavorable opinion of him. Forty percent of independents view him favorably, down 10 since last month.

The president’s score on the economy has also sunk, with just 33 percent approving and 61 disapproving. His grade has slipped nine points among independents in the past month. Now, 69 percent of independent voters disapprove of the way he is handling with the economy.

who the fuck are McClatchy and Marist and why haven't you told me why you fucked my bitch yet

OMG BROCK OBAMER LOST 10 DIPLOPOINTS

WORLD IS EFFED

But it doesn't matter right, because if he goes under 100 then he gets them back? Though it is distressing that the president cannot handle diplomacy very well.

Rasmussen's latest poll
Republican Candidate +5% over Obama
47%-42%

Misty Daniels>Brock Obamer

Wait, why is the gym leader who awards the rock badge running for presidency?

BROCK OBAMA / RON PAUL 2012

FUCK MISTY DANIELS THAT DIRTY NEOCON

Lt. Petraeus / Misty Daniels 2012

Electric/Water provides much better coverage because of the Beam/Bolt combo and no shared weaknesses, that's crucial in dual battles. Rock/Psychic is a little gimmicky, really. That's like going Cheney/Paul and pretend Dark/Psychic will get you anywhere.

Obama is a brilliant candidate, but that only worked before he had a record he had to defend.
What a horrendous disaster it is.
Massive debt, horrendous unemployment, no growth, double-dip recession, and what are the proposed solutions, claiming the 47% that pay no income tax at all are burdened while the top 1% that pays 30% of all income tax is getting a free ride.
Only total idiots (substitute Marxists, Socialists, or Big Government statists here) by this tototally discredited rhetoric.

Growth, Growth, Growth, is the only way out for Barack, and he has no idea how to get growth even though Harding-Coolidge, Kennedy, and Reagan all did it before him.

What a clueles administration trapped in failed ideology.

I think ulytau may have beat you to the punch there TC.

But Electric/Water would be damn weak against say Ralph Nader, grass would crush that combo. Rock/Psychic could throw people off balance.

"Rasmussen's latest poll
Republican Candidate +5% over Obama
47%-42% "

If only Generic Republican was going against Obama, instead of Romney or Perry!

Oh, wait, Perry is down by 15 .

And while Romney appears to have a lead at this point in a head to head, he's also down 10 to Perry.

So will the GOP choose their right wing darling, or the more moderate voice who might actually be competitive against the President?

Stratagos is going to have a miserable 2012 watching Obama go down.
Helen Keller could run against Obama's economy in 2012 and win.
