Correcting the Laughable Self-Delusions of Left-Wingers

[Bombur]

When you read the posts of Left-wingers it is unmistakable they dwell and wallow in self-delusions in almost very aspect of American affairs. It's so bad it is hard to even know where to begin correcting the record.

Maybe REAGAN is a place to start?

Libs on Reagan: he's the father of "trickle-down" economics and they still blame him for Obama's failures today
FACTS: SO MANY Democrats voted for Reagan's policies in congress the term Reagan Democrat was coined to describe them. Reagan's margin of popular-vote percentage of 9% and 18% dwarf Obama's 3% and 7% popular vote victory margins

Reagan was the most successful Keynesian in US history. He used debt spending and increases to government spending to boost the economy through the recession and was willing to raise taxes when necessary.

If he ran today he would be called a communist by the crazy right wing of today.

But he couldn't do the most elementary accounting rule of all and that is balance a budget. If he had we would not be where we are today.

It is like you didn't understand 90% of what I just said.

Ugh.

He would be crucified by the GOP of today for not being a hateful whiner and for his willingness to work with Democrats

Um...yeah. It's Republicans who won't work with Democrats, that's the problem. What a partisan Democrat you are, pathetic. You just carry their water for them

Give us short list of issues that the GOP has shown a demonstrable willingness to significantly compromise on.

How can we when Obama tells the gop to get in the back seat of the bus?

Is the ACA the GOP health care plan from 1993?

 

[nuhuh]

Why should they when it's Dems who would not allow any Repubs input into Obama Care

A completely bogus meme parroted by clueless rubes.

Name any polices of Republicans from 2009 and 2010 that is in the Affordable Health Care Act.

The policies that the Dems rejected were -
Tax incentives, Allow insurance companies to sell policies across state lines, Tort reform, Health savings accounts, Creation of high-risk pools, Allow trade associations and small business to purchase insurance as a group.
There was about 26 introduced that was rejected by the Dems.

"....one amendment offered by Oklahoma's Tom Coburn requires members of Congress and their staff to enroll in the government-run health insurance program. Another, sponsored by Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, would "establish an auto advisory council to make recommendations to the Secretary of the Treasury regarding how best to represent the taxpayers of the United States as the majority owner of General Motors." An amendment written by North Carolina's Richard Burr requires that "a private plan would be exempt from any federal or state requirement related to quality improvement and reporting if the community health insurance option is not subject to the specific requirement."


The list goes on. An amendment from Mike Enzi of Wyoming promises "to protect pro-patient plans and prevent rationing." Another of his would "prohibit the government run plan from limiting access to end of life care." An amendment from New Hampshire's Judd Gregg "requires all savings associated with follow-on biologics to go towards deficit reduction."

There are some technical-seeming amendments, too. For example, an amendment from Burr (which was accepted) says, "On line 23 after 'groups' insert 'and reduces the cost of health care.' " Another amendment, proposed by Coburn, "[d]efines [the] average work week as 40 hours." Slate examines the GOP amendments to a Senate health care bill.

Is the ACA the GOP health care plan from 1993?

Sort of
It was called Hillary Care.
Is the ACA the GOP health care plan from 1993 PunditFact
Qualls said the Affordable Care Act "was the Republican plan in the '90s." The bill she had in mind did have a strong roster of Republicans behind it, and it did share many major features with the Affordable Care Act. There were some significant differences but in a side-by-side comparison, the similarities dominate.

However, to call it the Republican plan, as though a majority of Republicans endorsed it, goes too far. The House Republicans took a different path, and there was opposition from more hard-line members of the Republican coalition. It is telling that the Chafee bill never became a full blown bill and never came up for a vote.

We rate the statement Half True.

When you read the posts of Left-wingers it is unmistakable they dwell and wallow in self-delusions in almost very aspect of American affairs. It's so bad it is hard to even know where to begin correcting the record.

Maybe REAGAN is a place to start?

Libs on Reagan: he's the father of "trickle-down" economics and they still blame him for Obama's failures today

Progs hate Hate HATE Reagan because he called their home team an "Evil Empire", vowed to defeat them and went ahead and collapse their Evil Empire. He defeated the USSR so badly he left them only one play, take up Ted Kennedy's 1984 offer to have them take control of the Democrat Party

Reagan had nothing to do with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Here's the truth. We had already won the cold war before Reagan took office. All Reagan needed to do was continue the tried and true containment policies Harry Truman began and all subsequent presidents employed. The Soviet Union was already collapsing from within and the CIA told this to Reagan when he took office. You think the Soviet military was tough? they couldn't even make a dent in the Afghanistan war. When they lost they seriously thought they were going to have a revolt in SE Asia.
Reagan was a wacko in how he handled those affairs and he took brinkmanship to a new art form. If Yuri Andropov's health had held we probably would have had WWIII.

LOL!

What a rube!!

LOLOLOL!!!

OMFG The CIA was caught totally flat footed when the USSR collapsed, they never saw it coming!

You're such a tool!

Reagan was a great man who stood for freedom and liberty, took a bullet for his beliefs, and pressed on to complete the mission the mission God set him to.

The love you have for the USSR is palpable

Ronald Reagan is the most overrated man in American history. He was the prime example of style over substance, incapable of good management with $3 trillion in debt and over 100 convictions of his administration members for crimes against America.
