He was always a Democrat more or less, but most Republicans have went so far to the right he changed.

Ronald Reagan would be a Democrat today, sorry.

Just for all the Radicals.
way too funny...but I do like the way you spin this to make it look like your not a Republican in denial!!

They pretty much are...which will be why they won't win 2016 Presidential election.

Is it racist to say the dems will win in 2016 due to the sheer number of low-information voters such as yourself?

Technically it's racist to say anything except chanting the official Barack Obama song.

Why would that be racist? Most low-information voters are on the right, it's why fox news has the biggest audience but is also the most uninformed.

Thank you for that cogent display of the politics of men who play with little girls' toys.

Way to be behind the times. Lauren Faust had creative control for 2010-2011, after which Hasbro fired her for her insistence that MLP:FiM continue as an adventure show over their idea that it should be about princesses and parties. It's a shame what happened to the show, but business is business.

But since you still believe that the Earth is flat and was created 6000 years ago by Jeeeesus, I suppose you're used to bouncing around without the foggiest notion of what you're talking about.

Playing with little girls' toys /= watching a show about little girls' toys. Unless you're trying to say you can only play with little girls' toys while watching other little girls play with little girls' toys, in which case congrats for finding an 11 on the creepiness meter, I suppose.

Are you going to Ad Hom for the rest of the thread?

so, he was fine with Republicans accusing the Clintons of murder and calling anyone who disagreed with them on the Iraq war a terrorist-lover, but lawdy forbid they're also nasty douches to "the African-American president" too.

This seems a bit far fetched if you ask me. He left the party because he lost in the primary to Rubio. He can spin it however he wants. But if he won that primary he would still be part of the racist republican party in my opinion.

Oh, I guess you'll switch to Strawmanning now.
You know, if you guys put forth a bit of effort into combining the race card with the straw man accusation, you'd have one response suitable for all issues and all comments. You'd never have to think again!

On second thought, I don't suppose that would actually save you anything, would it? ;)

A Democratic politician who is gearing up for a 2014 election is trashing the other side (Repubs) and that's newsworthy?

Indeed "we" would. I suppose some are just more honest than others and less prone to being Ideological Sycophants.

It's always amusing when those who agree with one party 100% of the time trumpet their own honesty and accuse anyone who fails to reach 100% ideological purity of being Ideological Sycophants.

Meh, Reagan was pretty lassaiz-faire economically.

The rationalizations of the blind are cute.

What's cute is how people such as yourself will never know who badly regan damaged the economy.

Regan put into motion economic change that to this very day are still destroying the economic future of the middle class. Everything from lowing the income taxes on the super rich, taxes that were used to fund college educations for the poor and middle class, to allowing shipyards to were vital to national security and economic stability of the south to close.

Just in the Beaumont and Orange Texas area in the early 1980s over 10,000 people lost their jobs. At least three shipyards closed. It has taken 30 years to recover from the economic devastation to this one area under regan. Wages will never recover to what they would have been if regan had protected the shipyards and thousands of families those jobs supported.

After the shipyards closed, people went from making $17 - $20 an hour to making $8 an hour. Skilled workers were making 6 times minimum wage in the late 1970s.

Today, people doing similar work are not making anywhere near 6 times minimum wage.

As for Charlie, everything listed in the opening post is a lie.
