Former Republican Senator Hagel Says Reagan Would Not Identify With Modern GOP

Reagan had very simple, but very big, goals for his Presidency:

1. Turn the US economy back over to entrepreneurs
2. Challenge and defeat Soviet Expansion

Unlike Obama, who merely stepped in to the very Big Shoes of the Bush Doctrine, Reagan called the Soviet Union an "Evil Empire" and put into place a plan that would confront the Soviets every place on the planet and defeat them.

The pro-Communist Democrats confronted Reagan at every turn, challenging him, questioning him, calling him a war monger for correctly identifying the USSR as an Evil Empire.

None of the Presidents that preceded Reagan ever identified the USSR as Evil and set as a goal to consign them to the ash heap of history; that was all Ronnie.

And now the USSR is on the ash heap and the American Left can never forgive Ronnie for that



Quite a revisionist view of history you have there. Was Reagan wearing a cape and tights when he saved the world from General Zod too?

all the Democrats were communists huh? Even Charlie Wilson?

See how it burns you whenever I say that Reagan called the USSR an Evil Empire and then tossed them on the ash heap of history like he said he would?
Don't you mean Pope John Paul II?
 
These GOP people are amazing, they never take responsibility for their own messes..

80% of our national deficit is because of Reagan, GHWBush, and GWBush... Reagan tripled the deficit, GWBush gave away the Clinton surplus, then a huge tax cut to the rich, passed a 7 trillion dollar unfunded prescription drug bill for seniors, borrowed the money to fight two unfunded wars, and the largest government buildup since WWII...And the current GOP block any fair taxes to pay down the deficit...

And by the way Reagan, and Teddy Roosevelt, both thought Capital Gains, and Dividends, should be taxed at the same rate as a working man's paycheck..They thought being able to make money without actually working, was benefit enough...

1 Obama Deficit > All of Reagan's Combined

1 Obama Deficit > Any Reagan Entire Budget
 
Wait a sec....Reagan "defeated the Soviets" is okay when repubs talk about Regan's accomplisments, but when Obama says he got Bin Laden, he is spiking the football and arrogant.:cuckoo: BTW Reagan did not defeat the Soviet Union, it was in decline for many years and many presidents contributed to that decline.

It is amazing that you tell us that Reagan who became president in 1981 is responsible for the Korean war which started in the 50's

Whats amazing is his ability to ignore the facts.

Truman Doctrine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

and the fact that it was the Truman doctrine that led to American involvement in Korea and Vietnam.

His statement however IS half true. Prior to Reagan, containment was the policy. With Reagan that policy changed to actively seeking to bring down the Soviets.
He has no need for facts - he's got FOXNEWS and Rush.
cool two hand jobs that follow the school of blind leading the blind ...like obumer
and this how you sum up 1 term of pres barry obumer
 
Hagel? Is that the best you can do? You gotta be kidding. Hagel campaigned for Obama against John McCain.
He has a lifetime 85% conservative rating.

Specter voted with the GOP 71% of the time in the 110th Congress (his last one as a Republican). He switched parties and voted with Democrats 96% of the time. This is the kind of "moderate" that liberals love :D

Hagel voted for the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts (McCain voted against them)
He voted against expanding research to more embryonic stem cell lines
He voted YES on defining unborn child as eligible for SCHIP
He was rated 100% pro-life
He was rated A by the NRA
He voted against increasing tax rate for people earning $1 million or more
Etc, etc

If he was still a Senator (a Senator for Obama, of course), i'm pretty sure he would vote very VERY differently.
