Reply #25: I agree--he wasn't just a failed president

[jobycom]

He was bad the core of his sorry soul. He kicked off his presidential campaign in Philadelphia, Mississippi-- a town famous for two things. One, Jerry Rice, who may not have even been drafted yet, and two, the rascist murders of three civil rights workers. Anyone who wants to know the essence of Reagan, that's it. The most important symbolic gesture of his life up until that time, a gesture to introduce himself and his vision of America to the world, and he chose to honor not just the murders of those three men, but the entire murderous opposition to civil rights. He was a vile man.
