Should we all honor Reagan and use ketchup as a vegetable for Thanksgiving
If you need to bring a side dish to a freeper friends or relatives thanksgiving day dinner might I suggest a bottle of ketchup. According to Reagan ketchup was a vegetable. :shrug:

10. "Reagan's brain wasn't functioning at the time"
Wasn't that when he was President?


So are we going to find out * has an incurable brain disease ten years from now?

13. Come on do you think that Reagan was functioning with Alzheimer's?
My Father has had Alzheimer's for four years now and it doesn't come on over night. Reagan screwed up everything. The Republicans needed a Kennedy but they didn't have one so they made one up.

Name one good thing that Reagan did for this country while he was in office. The wall was coming down before Reagan ever took office. Reagan stepped up for the photo-op and that was it.

Reagan did do one thing. He ran this country into the ground with his trickle down economics.

14. Whoa! You read me wrong.
I was agreeing with you that, that explains Reagan's screwed up policies. Because he was most likely sick while he was President.

Then I said maybe in ten years we're going to find out what disease Bush has to explain what the hell is wrong with him now.

:hug:

I wouldn't flame you...I like the kitty picture too much.

17. Actually, I think it was NANCY who said that. Not Ronnie.
And I personally believe that Reagan had Alzheimer's long before his second term ended. Nancy had taken to finishing his sentences for him sometimes....he just couldn't think of responses to questions sometimes and would just stand there saying, "Uh...uh..." No doubt about it. He had Alzheimer's. Which lets you know that someone else really runs the country besides the President (in the Repub Party, anyway).

5. Think of it this way
Ketchup is easy to carry and it's disposable so you won't have to wash anything out after you use it up. :D

11. Or you could tell them you've converted.......
your finally seeing it their way and have decided to become a Republican because your sick and tired of supporting impoverished silly little children with social welfare programs and if their parents can't afford healthcare fuck em! Because you work hard for your money and there are several things you want to buy with that tax break money. Make sure you emphasize that it was a whole $200 or whatever it was and go on and on about "Do you know what you can DO with that kind of money!?" ach. Well skies the limit.

You could emphasize why it's so important that we have a SMALL government so that it can use powers like the patriot act to monitor everyone without justification because you just never know!

and how STUPID the liberals are with that argument about abortion, because your pretty sure that if Jesus were here...he'd agree with you on this one that.. all that matters is that the baby is born!...it's their problem what kind of life they have after that. He'd also have to agree with bombing the shit out of Iraq even though they didn't pose a threat to us and our way of life because even though like 100,000 Iraqi civilians are dead...their going to thank us one day. There's no WAY Jesus would oppose war...why would those liberals EVEN suggest that? They must be insane.

But all with a straight face and the veracity of your convictions. :)
