Let the left continue to delude themselves. They will continue to lose elections and power. Unfortunately they may become so kooky that they may end up convincing themselves that revolution is the answer. They'll then find out why the NRA is so popular.

This is nonsensical garbage. First President "forced" to wear 3 siuts in one day? What does this have to do with anything? No sources, no coherence...but the smug liberal bagsofdouche will eat it up, thinking they stumbled onto something genius.

The use of Brolin and Davis as Ron and Nancy had to be on purpose. The 2 actors are very anti GOP and known leftists. Who ever put this production together had to know this would be a stick in the eye to the right and the Reagan faithful, This whole movie appears to be a far left smear job and the choice of these actors particulary vile.

Without sources I would not even bother with it. The US had a massive debt during/right after the revolution, Civil War, WWI and WWII so Reagan was not the first. A president has no powers over passing a budget, it is constitutionally done by the House of Representitves (BTW - was democratic during Reagan's terms). A president has no control over interest rates. Most of the rest are personal attacks.

No less than Bill Clinton gave NRA the credit for George W. Bush's win over Algore in a close race.

Correct. As a matter of fact, Mr. Reagan offered eight budget proposals (one each year for two terms), Congress ignored each one (going so far as to ceremoniously dump them in a trash can some years), and each year Congress offered budget proposals higher than what Mr. Reagan proposed. In order to get the military overhaul necessary for the final showdown in the Cold War, he had to compromise somewhat with the democrats. They returned the favor by stabbing him in the back with their baseless and idiotic drivel.

And, let's not forget, Mr. Reagan inherited the worst economy since the 1930's upon entering office. Has any president faced a worse situation upon taking office since maybe Lincoln? When FDR came in we were in a depression, but we were not threatened in a global Cold War situation with a nuclear force. Reagan faced both, essentially, and defeated both.

The sheer desparation of the Left deepens with each passing day.

They should just get it over with and "officially" declare war on Conservatives.

I hope noone watches the Mr Barbra Streisand's pretending to be Ronald Reagan show on CBS. The only way to stop these biased shows is to turn them off and tell their advertisers that you won't buy as long as they advertise with the liberals.

Second to win every state but one in his re-election bid.
. . . but that's only in the popular votes in the several states.

The record of the journalistic manipulations in the Nixon and Clinton impeachments--and in covering for vote fraud in the 1960 Kennedy victory and making Florida 2000 as close and judicially contested as it was--is perfectly clear to liberals.

Liberals heard, without any hint of exception from the journalism establishment, the son of a noted machine politician declaiming in the middle of Election Night that the Democrats actually had won Florida. Mr. Daily's declaration as fact of something which, as a matter of law, he had neither ability nor legal right to know would have created an uproar if said by a Republican operative in remotely similar circumstance--and liberals approved.

Liberals consistenly manifest a cavalier attitude toward (essentially uniformly Democrat) vote fraud. Liberals know and approve of the fact that journalism will go all out to install Democratic presidents and defeat Republican ones. Ultimately liberals consider the PR power of the journalism establishment, and not individual voter decisions reflected in election results, to be the center of political legitimacy.

It Really is Treason

Ronald Reagan
Whipped Inflation
Ended the Energy Crisis
Got the country going again
Transcended Communism
Reagan freed more people than Lincoln and FDR put together.
68. First president to have the Geriatrics Department of a major university study his behavior and conclude that AFTER THREE YEARS IN OFFICE HE HAD ALZHIMERS.
Is your point that Reagan would have been able to cure cancer and AIDS too, if he had been elected president in 1976 instead of 1980?

Or that Jimmy Carter was dumber than an Alzheimer's sufferer?

Or is it that "the Geriatrics Department of a major university" is run by a bunch of unprincipled liberals?

As pointed out by Mark Belling on the EIB network today, CBS will be airing this "special" during sweeps weeks. Be sure to inform your local CBS affiliate that you will refuse to watch their station at all during the November rating period if they choose to carry this Barbara Streisand Bull Crap. It is certainly the affiliate's choice as to what programming they present just as it is our choice as to what programming we will watch. Be polite and be firm.

No BS2!!!

Is Judy Davis even an American?? She's been giving her opinion on the USA during the 70s - when she was a small time actress in Australia!

Franklin Roosevelt was wealthier than Reagan. Unemployment at the end of his second term was at 17%. Under Mr. Roosevelt, hundreds of thousands of American citizens were jailed, simply because of their nationality. Among Mr. Roosevelt's friends were "Uncle Joe" Stalin - the greatest butcher in modern history. There were Soviet spies in his administration. And oh yeah, we gave away half of Europe to the Soviets, in exchange for their promise to enter the war against Japan. (The USSR declared war on Japan just weeks before Japan surrendered to the US.)

But hey, according to liberals, he's the greatest president of the the twentieth century. So pooh on their standards.
