Reagan will go down in history as a less than worthless piece of shit. He is so worshiped by the right wing corporate fascists, because he was the first of the modern rethuglican puppet rulers.

there is no need for all caps subject lines, unless we are under attack or something.

that HONEST, anti-corruption Dems like John Kerry and Henry Gonzalez worked for YEARS to uncover....IranContra, Iraqgate, BCCI and CIA drugrunning.

Think about it....if Clinton hadn't been so generous in protecting the secrecy and privilege of Reagan and Bush, they probably would have been held accountable by the mid90s instead of having their legacies rehabilitated and rewritten the last 15 years.

Funny how that works, eh?
