Why every religious conservative should consider Ronald Reagan worse than Stalin

Winston, you do realize that while Governor of California, Reagan signed a very liberal abortion law (prior to Roe v. Wade).

Of course. He had little choice in the matter. It'd been passed in both houses by veto-proof margins.

He was, however, unhappy about it, and anyone who has examined his subsequent record on the issue should realise that there was never a stronger voice at the Presidential level against the practice of abortion.

veto proof margins... so, veto it and let them override the veto!!

Your trying to explain this all away is amusing.

OBI in 3.2.1...

You rang?

The trouble with blaming Reagan for the lack of success of the prolife movement is to compare him with his contemporaries. If your choices are Ford and Carter then I think Reagan looks much better.

The thing with republicns is they claim to be against abortion, but at most all they do is just keep the status quo

Lets imagine you have this old lady, a christian

she disagrees with the way republicans handle foreign relations, the economy, and the war, but abortion is a very important issue for her and cant reasonably vote for democrats

What republicans often do seems to be a very cheap way of getting the votes of people like her without doing anything at all about abortion

IIRC, Carter is pro-life.

Carter was the only (relatively) good man to be in office in recent times.. unfortunate that he was eaten up in office.

What's wrong with Clinton?

[Jon Miller]

Relatively little as far as being president is concerned, but he wasn't really a 'good' man. He was a better president than Carter.

Bad troll. Not that I especially care. AFAICT the man was senile for at least half his term in office, though I was in kindergarten when it ended. Which, I suppose, is a good answer right there: the mentally disturbed are not to be considered responsible.

[Winston]

Now you're being the troll here. Those claims of senility are unsupported by any impartial evidence, and amount to nothing more than a hateful myth created by leftists who have a hard time concealing the foam at their mouths whenever Ronald Reagan is mentioned.

[Barnabas]

didnt he once call Lady Di Steve?

[Winston]

Princess David, as I recall. Raised a few eyebrows, as well as upper lips.

[Elok]

Okay, then. Amend "senile" to "incompetent." And he wasn't a bad person for failures resulting from incompetence either. Just a bad president.

[Winston]

Yeah. As evidenced by his unparallelled ratings of approval from the American people - then and now.

[Elok]

By gum, you're right! And another thing--McDonald's is the best restaurant in America!
