    So you believe that using Reagan for political gain is bad? What do you say to the report I heard this morning on NPR which stated that Republicans were considering using Reagan's face in upcoming Bush ads?

    It wouldn't surprise me at all. If Bush Jr. was forced to run on his record alone, he would lose in a landslide.

    Faos,

    And also how do you feel about GWB's reelection website having nothing but Reagan's visage with links to speeches?

    Talk about using a man's death for political gain.

    Dudes, it's soooooooooo a different thing when Bush does it. I don't know what you call it, but if you think Bush is wrong for exploiting Reagan after his death, then you are an unamerican terrorist sympathizer.

    I would not just call Faos out for reaching these days. That is what the D&D is about with all these conspiracy theories flying back and forth from both sides.

    < truth >

    Exactly. Bush lost all the credibility for me when he said "You are either with us, or against us." I was shocked to hear that. It really had bad taste in my mouth. The infamous "Chinese Culture Revelotion" started with the slogan "what the enemies oppose, we must support; what the enemies support, we must oppose" and "if you have compassion to enemies, you are the enemy of the people". When most of the people believe in that theory, chaos were inevitable at the time. Think, not in the way what the "leaders", "main stream", "your country" and "the people" want you to think, but in the way your knowledge, your experience, your logic and your common sense make you think.

    Thank you, Ron.

    I'm just trying to level the playing field here, but I have a lot of work to do. Spreading the truth ain't easy these days.

    It's a tribute to a good man. Nothing more.

    I would just like to briefly reiterate:

    Kerry and Bush are both assholes who are undoubtedly attempting to use Reagan's corpse as electioneering fodder. The two of them have far, far, far more in common with each another than either of them has in common with any of us.

    Now, return to the partisan junk or "truth" or whatever you want to call it.

    Now, I seemed to have deduced something. Yes, yes. I think I figured this out, and I want to share it with everyone.

    Faos,

    Are you...a Republican?

    Damn lack of edit.

    I guess this is where he asks, And are you an a-hole?

    YES! And proud of it! :)

    LMAO, you wouldn't say that if Kerry had done the exact same thing as Bush's website.


    Spreading the truth aint easy, huh? I think it's so hard that you don't even bother trying.

    Proof positive that if you hear something long enough, you start to believe it.

    It seems like you are more interested in spreading manure than truth.

    Bull. Especially after you just started a thread attacking Kerry for attending a public viewing of Reagan's casket.
