I heard part of Alan Colmes radio show yesterday. He was claiming that Reagan was just in the right place when the Soviet Union collapsed; that President Reagan had nothing to do with it, it just happened under his watch.

There were also circular arguments that despite claims from aides and even family members about the portrayal of Ronald Reagan using the Lord's name in vain (they claim he didn't ever do that) that people really use these words and that the aide wasn't there 24 hours a day, and that besides these stories aren't ever entirely factually correct. He said that Buddy Holly fanatics would find flaws with the Buddy Holly Story (especially some of the conversations fabricated to tell the story).

Alan did not want to concede the point that this is a political smear. He's a lying liar like so many on the left.

I don't know how Colmes can make that argument, when Gorbachev is on record conceeding that Reagan's defense buildup and persuit of SDI went beyond the Soviet Union's ability to keep pace financially. It doen't get much plainer than that.
