St. Reagan's Comet

St. Reagan's week is finally over. It was too short. Maybe we could stretch it out more. Maybe we could have "Reagan Roadtrip 2004" and have a funeral in EVERY CITY! (Satire preceding)

Unlike Repubs who immediately vilified those who even mentioned Paul Wellstone was in the senate at his service, we here at PTS showed restraint last week.

The gloves come off now.

Boolsheet printed in the Amarillo Globe News, Avalanche-Journal, etc. from gushy history revisionists like Rep. John Cornyn, repeated 3 blantant lies over and over.
1. Reagan won the cold war.
2. Reagan made us feel all oogly warm inside at all times.
3. Reagan was responsible for the greatest economic expansion forever.

You can honor someone, but you do NOT get to make sheeet up.
Executive Summary ready for emailing here:
-The House and Senate did not both come under Republican rule during Reagan's time.
-The Berlin Wall did not come down when Reagan was in office.
-Reagan is not the president who left office with the highest approval rating in modern times. That was BILL CLINTON.
-Reagan was not "the most popular president ever." That was BILL CLINTON.
-Reagan did not preside over the longest economic expansion in history. That was BILL CLINTON.
-Reagan did not shrink the size of government. That was BILL CLINTON.
-Reagan did preside over what was at the time the "biggest tax cut in history" but it was almost instantly followed up by the "biggest tax increase in history."
-Reagan was not "beloved by all." He was loved by some, liked by some, and hated by some with good reason.

(Tip 'o' the hat to Atrios)

Bottom line, how do you know when a Repub is lying about the Reagan Legacy?
Because they are talking.
