Norquist wants Raygun on Mt. Rushmore.

http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/16/politics/ronald-reagan-naming-debate-2016/index.html

snip:
Why stop there? Would Reagan's face fit on Mt. Rushmore? Norquist said he's already looked into it.
"I'm told that it would," Norquist said. "My preference is to replace Teddy Roosevelt because he was a statist and a progressive Republican as opposed to a Reagan Republican. Does he deserve the kind of status that a Jefferson and a Washington have? The answer is yes, he does."

More appropriate to put Raygun's mug on a statue in Iran as homage to the weapons he hold the mullahs.

Put his likeness on the back end of the Crazy Horse monument



It wouldn't even need to be carved. Just tell everyone it's inside the rock.

He made a big contribution to today's hyperpartisanship that has divided this country.

consider Raygun the worst President in history. He begat all the damage we experience today. A documentary to a complete fool who based his Presidency on astrology.

He was a vile man.
