Seymore-- Will is quoted as saying he wouldn't be a part of an organized political party --that's why he was a Democrat.

Answer 1

You have just insulted Will Rogers, who was not an economic elitist nor a right-wing clod, hence he was a Democrat.

Answer 2

"There are day laborers who are getting blown up in Iraq trying to get a job. You should be ashamed for whining."

Please feed your garbage to someone else, and your extreme right-wing philosophy. With your mentality, why not just let business decide what's right, and put 8-year olds back into the factories?

If your all for the sell-out of the average american, well then, please stuff your snout back into the trough. I'm NOT buying sh*t made in CHINA...THAT's what I am doing!

"not a very bright man"
Bette Davis on your beloved RR

RR was at the right place in the right time(Just like Clinton). Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good....

Answer 3

Of course one of Ronnie's ideas of smaller government was to deregulate the Savings and Loans
It ended up costing the American taxpayer 500 billion dollars
because of theft corruption and no Govt oversight

Oh yea and he did allow Ollie North to sell arms to the Iranians
and tripled the national debt
And he did not respond at all when 225 Marines were blown up in Lebenon
Ronnie was a good guy and he loved his country (which you cant say this about Bush)
but jokes and platitudes cant run our country

Answer 4

Alas, we may never see another president as great.

What's Hillary's famous quote? "They need more welfare", or "My husband is an idiot"?

Barak Obama? "Can we call them temporary visitors instead of illegal immigrants?"

Nancy Pelosi? "Can we extend abortion until the child is three years old?"

And don't get me started on my buddy, George W. He may be a good president, but he sure doesn't speak very well!

Answer 5

Well, according to the liberals, everyone has their own set of values, and it is their right to follow those.

If I want to rape or murder someone in the street, it is my "right" to do so. How can you tell me what to do with my own body?

If I want to make an organization (NAMBLA) devoted to having homosexual sex with underage children, it is my "right" and no one can tell me not to.

The liberals do not want a moral set of values. They want everyone to do what they feel is right.

Answer 6

He had good speech writers
