Robert Reich chats with former Repub Congressman: "So What Do You REALLY Think of these candidates"

21. Ronald Reagan? Just cut the anti choice rhetoric? The man was openly racist and homophobic.

He and his administration actively ignored the growing AIDS crisis for 7 years until the death toll reached over 30,000 Americans. They laughed about it at one or two press conferences, to rub salt into the wounds and refused to take action.
While the Straight Folkken paid no attention and no longer remember, LGBT spent the Reagan years in full tilt activist mode, thousands in the streets. Wall St targeted, protested and shut down year after year, major protests at government offices, pharmaceutical companies, churches.

So you should tell me all that you did in the late 80's and early 90's. I know what Democrats did, even the more moderate ones, and I know how that compares to your darling Reagan.

You do not know what you are talking about. I mean, seriously. You have no idea how reckless and in fact right wing your post sounds to those of us who survived the Reagan/Bush years. I buried a large number of friends and associates who were under 40.

So this whole 'Reagan was like a Democrat' thing is a bit like saying 'Hitler was like a Rabbi'.

But hey, you straights always loved Dutch, so many on DU wax on and on about their fun times with Ronnie. The message is heard loud and clear.
