30. Nope.. There WAS no "Reagan Presidency"..
Edited on Mon Jul-21-08 03:11 PM by SoCalDem
Reagan was the "front-man".. the " ctor-playing-the-part-of-president"..

GHWB & his henchmen were ALWAYS in charge..

They found an articulate, spokesperson to be the "face" of the presidency.

Reagan ended up as governor, for the same reason, although back then he DID still have some of his marbles left. The sad thing is that his governorship is still felt in CA.. They things he UN-DID are still plaguing this state, and every college person today, can trace their own financial difficulties back to reagan..

Republicanism is all about the myth.. They make 'em, and propagate 'em. Their actual underlying philosophies are so abhorrent, they MUST be cloaked in mythology..

Religious extremism
Racial hatred
Corporate greed
Sexism
Hatred of poor people

How else could these ideas be "sold" to the masses, without the mythology??
