You have not made any effort to discuss issues. You have spent your time calling names and making rather strange comments. "Defend the indefensible"? To what do you refer? And just so you are historically accurate the 1986 tax reform bill reduced the number of categories of mariginal rates ...the 1981 tax bill actually reduced mariginal rates. Moreover those who call Reagan a pragmatist are more coprrect than you. He did have a core set of values but he also knew which battles to fight and which to let slide... Go ahead vote for any third party that you want to...I suspect that is what you have done for years. I on the other hand will work to get like minded people elected so that they can do some good. And by the way just in case you didn't know we are at WAR...that makes all the difference in the world to me. I want there to be a US left after the year 2005
Amen.
What's happening in 2005?
Read the entire thread and follow the post backwards. You'll find the answers, if thats what you seek. It would appear you don't really want to debate the issues. You want to be purposely argumentative about something you had nothing to do with.
Ronald Reagan was a political conservative. He wasn't a pragmatist, per se. Pure pragmatists make lousy politicians. Reagan was a superior politician, because he was able to mix the values of a principled conservative, with the desires of a pragmatic politician.
>>>Go ahead vote for any third party that you want to...I suspect that is what you have done for years.
You're wrong. Never voted for any third party. My tag line is quite clear. You need to cool your jets, bucko.
The fact we are at war, is a fact of life right now. What that has to do with the subject matter of this thread is beyond me. In the future find someone else to go off on.
