In Britain, we equate Ronald Reagan with Margaret Thatcher, since they had similar views and were in office at thw same time.
You may not know it, but Margaret Thatcher is, by Brits, generally believed to be the most loathsome creature in history [img]smile.gif[/img] It ain't looking good for Ronnie [ 12-14-2002, 04:03 PM: Message edited by: Bardan the Slayer ]

Sooo...People in Britain don't like Ronnie? Because he was allies and friends with Margaret Thatcher? Oh, well, people have been disliked for much less noble things. Personally, I always liked Mrs. Thatcher. And I voted for Reagen. Twice. And, since I understand that Clinton is well liked in Britain, that takes some of the sting away.

[img]smile.gif[/img] You may or may not have thought Eisen's remark was ultra left wing, and you may or may not have agreed, but the point is your sarcastic comment was aimed at my comment, while nothing was said of his. I further explained the comment above in the post, but you didn't bother to point that out either. Quote:
I think it's a low blow, too, just for different reasons.

You're right Ronn. Everyone does have a right to post their opinions and not be ridiculed for them. I did not word my posts well.

I also believe that everyone has a right to their opinions. I do try to avoid making comments like the one you quoted because they are rude, but when people make personal insinuations, it isn't a debate of the issues anymore. [ 12-14-2002, 04:48 PM: Message edited by: Ronn_Bman ]

I would also like to agree to the trade, get rid of the git, maybe you can take on paying his presedential pension too (his housing allowance is the highest (what he uses anyway) of any president in our history ie while all the former pres's are allocated funds for housing he uses more of his than anyone else)

Personally I think that Carter is better than Reagan. I didn't care for Reagan's policies as either gov. or as President. I feel that Jimmy was a better govenor and has contributed more to the USA and the world since he left office. As for what he was able to acheive while in office, Reagan was probably more effective but that was due to a more helpful Congress. If nothing else Carter proved that there is no place for honesty, integrity or compassion for a US President when dealing with the rest of the world.
