Dead or Alive, Reagan was a jerk

[mopaul]

when he was a lousy b actor in hollywood, he was a jerk. when he was governor of california, he was a jerk. when he lied 150 times under oath, he was a jerk. when he sold missiles to iran and paid them to hold the hostages longer to make carter look bad, and who arranged for their immediate release moments after he took office, he was a jerk. when he welcomed the bornagain fuckheads into our government he was a jerk. when he got alzheimers and grew old and feeble he was a jerk, and now that he's dead, as dead as we are all gonna be someday, he is still a jerk.

1. No. Just an egotistical, conventionally backward fool.

If Reagan was a jerk, then he fooled me. He was no more of a jerk than most people.

Bush is.

[H2O Man]

2. I remember that in the days after Kent State,

Reagan said, "Maybe a little bloodshed in the streets will be good for these students." My guess is that most news services will not play that with his "greatest speeches." Probably only Sean Hannity would find that noble.

3. One Small Correction

When he got Altzheimer's, he went from being a jerk to an idiot.

7. about a year after he was shot

my dad saw that ronny was going fast..he was left out of most of the decisions in the whitehouse because george and his crew ran the show for years..yes he was a jerk but then he became an old fool...

4. Yes, that's true.

My sympathies are with the family and friends who have lost the jerk they love. (As well as with the familes who have lost someone because of the jerk's administration.)

6. I'm sure when it's our own time to pass...we'll all be called a jerk...

.....by somebody as well for our opinion or view...or for an action or inaction...that affected them personally regardless of power or prestiege...sad but true. x(

8. I cheer no one's death although no here gets out alive ...

We should avoid kicking his dead body because it is childish to kick it. However, we must keep in mind that he was an evil old man who dealt misery wholesale to enrich his buddies.

9. Let us not forget the REAL jerks...

...the people who voted for him.

10. All that is true..but do we need to follow suit?

I love your raw assessments Mo...I guess the musician in me considers timing to be everything.

11. I'm not going to mourn the bastard

the eighties were the absolute worst years of my life, how I'm still here is a great and constant wonder, fuck reagan, he was a stooge used badly by the same people using the present stooge.

13. I did get more Reagan than I cared for in my life, first as Governor

and then as President, however, I really have to blame the people who voted for him.

RIP and perhaps he will serve as a history lesson for the future voters of America, not to throw their votes away on unqualified candidates like actors and wrestlers, just because they know how to say what they want to hear.
