Besides, you wouldn't be able to fit his hair on the dime.

Can tell you used to live in Toledo...still got some Democrap poison in your head! :insane:

No, I grew up in a Republican family. I took my first drink the night Reagan was elected at the Republican party headquarters. Champange don't you know. I was ten.

Because I don't think spending all the taxpayers do-rae-me on RR's face on a dime does not make me a democrat. It makes me a fisically responsible Republican.

If Jimmy Carter tanked, and a bunch of democrats wanted to put his mug on a dime; you'd all be peeing your slacks about wasting the taxpayer money.

At least I'm consistant.

Ed Weber, the last Republican congressman from Toledo, was my family's lawyer.

So, bite your tounge you UAW supporting (home of the jeep), keilbasa loving, Gorilla.
Everyone knows the only reason to stay in Toledo is Tony Packos and the Museum.

Wait, the Beruit is good eating too.

Democrap poison my eye. Go sit in your closet and eat potato chips.

The Beruit sucks and I hate the UAW....But along with Packo's and the museum,don't forget the Mudhens and the Storm buttmunch....

Kaneko I would rather the money is spent to commemorate the greatest president of the 20th Century than to see it spent on a liberal program.

[NRAJOE]

There ya go...:right:

I think NRA joes Avatar should be the image used in the new Reagan bill
a profile on a dime would be hard to tell the difference.

How about spending the money on defense? Nixon was the greatest president of the 20th century.

Kaneko what are you talking about Nixon didn't do squat compared to Reagan - To Reagans credit he ended the cold war without firing a shot, solved the hostage issue in Iran with nothing more than an ultimatum, He stood up for the Constitution, reduced the size of Gov. and was responsible for the biggest tax reduction in history.

Reagan did not reduce the size of government. He made it sound like he did, but he did not.

You don't need to fire a shot when you can outspend your enemy.

The hostage crisis was more than an ultimatum. It was politics and all politics are local.

Nixon stood up for the Constitution, sorta.
Nixon was a bigger football fan.
Only Nixon could go to China.

Last time I went to the Beruit, it was pretty good. I did go to a Mudflaps game. A good time was had by all.

I remember the Goaldiggers. A fight every night.

This just came on Google. An interesting take if nothing else.

Sorta stood behind the constitution -- thats a real accomplishment - Reagan believe it fully.


What the hell does football have to do with leading this country?

Reagan was in China also there are Photo's on several websites


Have you seen a head doctor lately -- you may need some new drugs

I'm just winding you up, Shaun. Eisenhower was the greatest President of the 20th century.
Then again, maybe FDR in terms of sheer popularity.

[NRAJOE]

Ronnie was the greatest of the 20th Century...then Teddy Rooosevelt....

Friday, June 11th, has been declared a Federal holiday in honor of former President Ronald Reagan I would say FDR was as popular if not more so than Reagan..after all he was the only 3 term president

[BattleRifleG3]

And he shouldn't have been.

Washington said in his farewell address to stick to two terms. He also said to keep alliances short and simple, and not to get into political parties, or foreign powers would take control. Read Washington's farewell address. It's a great warning.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Assuming the Presidency at the depth of the Great Depression, Franklin D. Roosevelt helped the American people regain faith in themselves. He brought hope as he promised prompt, vigorous action, and asserted in his Inaugural Address, "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself."

Born in 1882 at Hyde Park, New York--now a national historic site--he attended Harvard University and Columbia Law School. On St. Patrick's Day, 1905, he married Eleanor Roosevelt.

Following the example of his fifth cousin, President Theodore Roosevelt, whom he greatly admired, Franklin D. Roosevelt entered public service through politics, but as a Democrat. He won election to the New York Senate in 1910. President Wilson appointed him Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and he was the Democratic nominee for Vice President in 1920.

In the summer of 1921, when he was 39, disaster hit-he was stricken with poliomyelitis. Demonstrating indomitable courage, he fought to regain the use of his legs, particularly through swimming. At the 1924 Democratic Convention he dramatically appeared on crutches to nominate Alfred E. Smith as "the Happy Warrior." In 1928 Roosevelt became Governor of New York.

He was elected President in November 1932, to the first of {four terms.} By March there were 13,000,000 unemployed, and almost every bank was closed. In his first "hundred days," he proposed, and Congress enacted, a sweeping program to bring recovery to business and agriculture, relief to the unemployed and to those in danger of losing farms and homes, and reform, especially through the establishment of the Tennessee Valley Authority.

By 1935 the Nation had achieved some measure of recovery, but businessmen and bankers were turning more and more against Roosevelt's New Deal program. They feared his experiments, were appalled because he had taken the Nation off the gold standard and allowed deficits in the budget, and disliked the concessions to labor. Roosevelt responded with a new program of reform: Social Security, heavier taxes on the wealthy, new controls over banks and public utilities, and an enormous work relief program for the unemployed.

In 1936 he was re-elected by a top-heavy margin. Feeling he was armed with a popular mandate, he sought legislation to enlarge the Supreme Court, which had been invalidating key New Deal measures. Roosevelt lost the Supreme Court battle, but a revolution in constitutional law took place. Thereafter the Government could legally regulate the economy.

Roosevelt had pledged the United States to the "good neighbor" policy, transforming the Monroe Doctrine from a unilateral American manifesto into arrangements for mutual action against aggressors. He also sought through neutrality legislation to keep the United States out of the war in Europe, yet at the same time to strengthen nations threatened or attacked. When France fell and England came under siege in 1940, he began to send Great Britain all possible aid short of actual military involvement.

When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Roosevelt directed organization of the Nation's manpower and resources for global war.

Feeling that the future peace of the world would depend upon relations between the United States and Russia, he devoted much thought to the planning of a United Nations, in which, he hoped, international difficulties could be settled.

As the war drew to a close, Roosevelt's health deteriorated, and on April 12, 1945, while at Warm Springs, Georgia, he died of a cerebral hemorrhage.

But got into the "Right" frame of mind....

Ronald Reagan began his political life as a Democrat, supporting Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his New Deal. He gradually became a staunch social and fiscal conservative. He embarked upon the path that led him to a career in politics during his tenure as president of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) from 1947 until 1952, and then again from 1959 to 1960. In this position he testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee on Communist influence in Hollywood and later supported blacklisting.

His employment by the General Electric company further enhanced his political image. By the 1964 election, Reagan was an outspoken supporter of conservative Republican Barry Goldwater. His nationally televised speech A Time for Choosing electrified conservatives and led to his being asked to run for Governor of California.

In 1966, he was elected the 33rd Governor of California. Reagan tried to gain the Republican presidential nomination in 1968, and again in 1976 over the incumbent Gerald Ford but was defeated at the Republican Convention. He succeeded in gaining the Republican nomination in 1980. The campaign was marked by the Iran hostage crisis. Most analysts believe President Jimmy Carter's inability to solve the hostage crisis played a large role in his defeat and Reagan's victory. Reagan went on to be elected President that year. In 1984, he was re-elected in a landslide, winning in 49 of 50 states and receiving nearly 60 percent of the popular vote. Much of his first election and this second term landslide is attributed to the then named "Reagan Democrats", a newly emerged but mostly unorganized political force.
