that they, too, will be rich someday.

They have bought and swallowed whole - that bill o' goods. PLUS, they're told that whatever they BELIEVE!!!! is true, even when it isn't. If they just BELIEVE it hard enough, it'll be true. They're home free, provided they REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY believe it's true.

I remember how reagan talked his way out of impeachment over the Iran-Contra scandal and selling arms to the Ayatolla. The simpering crap that came out of his mouth made me almost spit my hot tea all the way across the living room. Paraphrasing - "the facts say no, but my heart tells me it's true." Oh your HEART tells you it's true? So then, THAT somehow makes it true, even in the face of cold hard reality-type facts????? Oh. My. Freakin'. Sweet. God.

I was absolutely aghast at that. And of course there were NO repercussions. He got ANOTHER free pass on that one. Everybody went, "awwww... poor dear man... Well, never mind then. It's okay. It couldn't be helped. We take it all back. Here's another freebie for ya, dear darling ol' Dutch! We still love you!"

Just HIDEOUSLY disgusting. And that fucker got away with it, too. He could have, and SHOULD HAVE, been impeached. As I later read, Nancy was just petrified over the very prospect of her precious ronnie being IMPEACHED. She worked overtime, behind the scenes, trying to manipulate his way out of it.
