Dubya vs. Reagan
If your choice for president was limited to one of these two and you absolutely were forced to vote (assume a republican aristocracy), which one would you pull the lever for?? (after you were done vomiting)

3. Reagan.....
selecting a potted plant that is turned toward the sun twice a day and has his drool cup emptied hourly is preferable to the smirking chimp that is currently occupying the White House.

4. What do you mean by "forced to vote"?
If you mean there was a gun to my head, I think I may just take the bullet. No point in living with no hope.

Okay, maybe I'd vote for Reagan, then move to Canada.

7. uh, Reagan
1980s Reagan, of course, not today's Reagan.

After the Marine Barracks boming in Beirut, Reagan stopped being about adventurism and started being about economic warfare and proxy wars.

Also, Reagan's idea of deregulation actually did lead to jobs in new industries, rather than exporting the best positions to overseas software sweatshops.

Seriously, sombody on our side better come up with a way to tariff the living crap out of offshore job poaching, or I'm voting Socialist - and I'm far from being a Socialist. Fuck NAFTA and GATT.

I didn't think anyone would ever be worse than him but I was wrong, chimp is the absolute WORST. Chimp is EVIL, I think that ole ronnie actually had a heart or a semi-heart, chimp has neither heart or soul. :-(

13. Reagan.
At least he had a sunny disposition, instead of ill-disguised resent-ment toward almost everyone in the world.

Plus, Ronnie's acting background inadvertently served him well in foreign affairs. We used to joke that his motto there was "Yell loudly and carry a powder-puff," but he played it well and usually pulled it off.
