I will say one good thing about Reagan

[MrScorpio]

He waived the requirements for burial in Arlington National Cemetery for my Great Uncle and the Boxing champ, Joe Louis.


Other than that, Reagan was a lying, war mongering asshole, who was so heartless he made Scrooge look like a saint.


I know that it's not nice to speak ill of the dead, so I'll let the fact that he's broiling in his own personal circle of Hell speak for me.

1. just think of this--

if he had`t "married up" he`d still be a democrat and a d list actor..

8. WOW Hillary Stole her election slogan!

ready from minute one!

2. Reagan was a Liar, Thief and War Monger like Chimpo

This brain dead douchbag led us all into poverty HELL, and I
hope that is where he is along with all those other
Republiscum douchbags like him.  We had recession, job loss,
union busting and many more lovely shit like that.  Many were
taken out of our jobs, and set on the street to maybe collect
unemployment.  REGANOMICS WAS HIS DIP SHIT IDEA TO GIVE
EVERYTHING TO THE RICH AND IT "TRICKLES DOWN TO THE
PEONS"!   Well the old Alzheimers infested piece of shit
didn't know what day it was, but they glorified him when he
died, It made me sick, and I tell any of those shitbag under
30 asswipes, if you think he was great, you should have lived
through it, I for one was glad that he and old piano legs
NANCY burn in hell together!

3. Republicans admire heartless creeps...

...who shit on anyone to get money, power, even women. What cool values!

[MrCoffee]

4. i don't mind speaking ill of the dead, especially when they're evil bastards

Reagan was an evil bastard.

[Journeyman]

5. We should only say good of the dead. Reagan is dead . . .

good.

[William769]

6. I'll say one good thing about Reagan, he's dead!

[xxqqqzme]

7. that was my first thought as well.

THE only good thing I can say about him.

[wintersoulja]

9. come on people

Old Dutch was just a frontman for GE all along. Holding that sad fellow personally responsible for the things that occurred during Democratic control of both houses? Doesnt that seem a little myopic?
I cant say anything good about him myself, but maybe some of you can take joy that he died from Alzheimer's (as did my grandfather 20 years before) and left Nancy speaking against GW's mad stance towards stem cell research? I will say one thing in his favor, and GODDAMNED if I cant say the same thing about the "top tier" today... When Poppy the spook demanded a "Mano a mano" debate, and all the other Republican candidates showed in protest, Reagan was willing to let them participate.
Not Poppy though, and that moment supposedly soured Reagan on Bush, and Reagan was lucky to survive Poppy's relentless desires once they got in. That entire era is falsely credited to Reagan, and you should all be better informed about it if you want to make real "change". Those were the "Bush years"

10. That's a very cool uncle you had

What's sad, then, that it took until the 1980s to allow him to buried in Arlington National Cemetery, especially considering that his victory over Schmeling in the 1930s was a major symbolic victory of the US over the Nazis.
