17. Ok, your argument falls apart...
Edited on Fri Jan-18-08 06:16 PM by TwoSparkles
...when you compare Ronald Reagan with Hitler--a man who was responsible for the death of millions.

Please. I am really starting to think that some of the people in our party are completely coming unglued.

Read Obama's statement. He was talking about Reagan being a president who caused a paradigm shift
in politics. Obama talked about how Nixon and Clinton were unable to do this. Obama wants to be
that same kind of president---changing the trajectory" of America, because America is once again
primed for a similar paradigm shift.

All you have to do is read Obama's platform, to understand that Ronald Reagan would completely reject
Obama's ideas---universal healthcare, increasing taxes on the rich, ending the war, etc.

What I thought was brilliant, and it practically went unnoticed--is how he completely relegated
Bill Clinton to the shelf with Richard Nixon. He basically sideswiped the Clinton era and marginalized
it.

I wish people would read and pay attention, instead of going into overdrive at the mere mention of
Ronald Reagan. People who exaggerate and misinterpret Obama's comments look like simpletons
and drama queens.
