1. They forgot also...
he let thousands suffer and die of AIDS because it was "God's will". Come to think of it really by letting all those die a slow, painful death from AIDS, I guess God paid back Ronnie by letting him die a slow painful death as well. hmmmm???

10. I tend to think the disease he died from is more painful for the family
and friends than it is for the victim. At least, I really do hope so. As much as I hated that evil bastard, I could never wish anyone a painful death.

13. Neither do I..
but think of the pain those families of AIDS victims endured. Think of the scorn the victims themselves endured because they were "homosexuals", "sinners"---AIDS, to Ronnie's administration, was nothing but a "gay disease"--so what's a few dead fags mean to them?? Because of this I guess you can now look at his death as payback.

15. oh, I have neverr forgotten the legacy of that evil SOB
I remember. Now they act like we are not suppose to remember. That man - and his designer dress bobble-head wife - made me sick. I have not forgotten.

12. Loved it. Forwarded it.
I emailed it to my Mother-in-Law with the subtitle, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."

16. This is all so true!
I've held back from saying much about Reagan, because I'm not
American and I don't like to be rude, but on another forum, not
connected with politics, I mentioned that his presidency was all
smoke and mirrors - he was the aw-shucks, down-home guy who was
responsible for countless unnecessary deaths in Central America,
and needless misery for his own people at home. Back came a reply
from someone saying "A friend of mine worked in the White House when
he was president, and he said you could always tell when Reagan
was coming down the corridor because you could hear the laughter.
He always had a joke and made people feel happy". I bit my tongue
and held my hand back, because if I'd replied I would have been
very rude.

But it really is frightening how simple-minded some people are.
