Was Reagan any better than Saddam?

[ButterflyBlood]

Poll question: Was Reagan any better than Saddam?

No one would demand that we respect Saddam's death.

1. You can make the argument that he's was very misguided

That's what I tend to believe.

It's pretty much impossible to make that argument with Saddam.

[genius]

2. Reagan was braindead in the fifties. Other people ran the state and

country for him. When Jane Wyman had parties, she used to be relieved when he would leave the room to watch his "horse operas" and stop saying embarrassing things to her guests.

3. As a person or as a leader?

[Michael Costello]

4. Reagan armed Saddam

Reagan sent weapons to Saddam, helicopters and the like (actually, behind the back of Congress he was arming Iran as well).

[Hubert Flottz]

5. They were just good friends I heard!

Like he and Osama!

[Walt Starr]

6. Fucking Reagan INVENTED Saddam

Saddam wouldn't have been shit without Reagan, so every body in Saddam's count of dead should also be counted in Asshole Reagan's, too!

[SeveneightyWhoa]

7. Um, last time I checked, Reagan..

..didn't torture people, and he wasn't the head of a dictatorship.

This is pathetic and embarassing to all of us.

[napi21]

8. Oh comeon, there's not comparison. Reagan never

ordered people who disagreed with him to be killed. He wan't a dictator.

Yes, he was a Pub, and we all disagreed with his "tricle-down" idea, but it's rediculous to try to compare the two.

[rumguy]

9. He was a hell of a lot better than Saddam...

[Delano]

11. Agreed. I couldn't stand Reagan, but no comparison.

Saddam was a mass killer, even worse than Dumbya. Reagan was nowhere near as bad as either of those thugs.

[Mattforclark]

10. I would ask that you respect Saddam's death

Because I would ask that you respect anyone's death.

[fujiyama]

12. What nonsense

Why should such terrible people be respected in anyway?

That's ridiculous. I wouldn't have respected Hitler, Pol Pot, and Stalin, anymore in life, than I would in death. Some people ARE that terrible.

Now, Reagan shouldn't quite be compared to Saddam...but I don't see any reason to respect Reagan's politics. There's nothing worthy of it.

13. reagan was a pathetic joke on idiot america

he just happened to snare a bunch of democrats in his teflon lasso, some of whom have since reformed and post here. i didn't respect him in life...
