Who is the most over-rated president of all-time?

[Uncensored2008]

You are a complete idiot. The Taliban emerged a very long time after Reagan left office.

Yes, but without lying, the left has nothing.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Reagan's administration financed international terrorists, euphemistically named 'Contras',

So, in your alleged mind, resistance to a Marxist Junta is "terrorism?"

who blew up health care facilities and assassinated teachers and functionaries,

Well, not so much, but you don't mind lying. I mean, if you had integrity, you couldn't support murderous Marxist dictatorships like the Sandinista.

So let's look at these Communists you support;

{One of the earliest Sandinista public works projects was the construction of a centrally controlled national prison system. Aided by Cuban, East German, and Soviet advisers, the Ministry of Interior built a system designed not only to incarcerate criminals and to punish opponents, but to break the will of the entire population to resist FSLN policies of mass ideological indoctrination, property seizure, conscription, and repression of market activities, political beliefs, and religious practices. }

{Torture of prisoners was routine and widely practiced.36 Prisoners were forced into cells so small that they could neither stand nor sit, they were locked into steel hot boxes outside in the sun, and they were subjected to psychological torture that included sexual assaults on the prisoners’ daughters or wives.37 Prisoners were occasionally mutilated and skinned alive before being executed, the latter practice attributed almost solely to the DGSE. One practice in the countryside was the corte de cruz, a drawing-and-quartering technique in which the prisoner’s limbs were severed from the body and the individual was left to bleed to death.

Such killings were time-consuming and inefficient, and the exception to the rule. It appears that they were designed to be carried out on selected targets so that the human remains would be left in a way calculated to sow terror among Sandinista opponents.38 }

But these were not the "terrorists" to you, no it was those who OPPOSED them.

just like the cowards portrayed today as our sworn enemies in other parts of the world.

And of course you have valid evidence of deliberate attacks on Hospitals?
Well, of course not, your job is to smear, not to disseminate fact.

Until 'W', no president had done as much to lower the world's esteem of the US. Bush II established a record that will be difficult to beat.
That said, do not take this as an attack on Republicans. Both major parties are the enemy.

Yeah, that Wall falling really diminished the standing of the USA...

You communists sure are smart - and honest too....

Reagan doesn't deserve any of the adoration he's received.
Anything major that happened on his watch on nothing to do with him directly, he just stumbled along- basically PRETENDING to be president.
I doubt he even knew where he was 90% of the time...

Talk about straw man tactics.
Facts are presented and then accused of being inaccurate, so they are. Someone does not bow before the disgusting reputation of Ronnie, so the person is a communist, as if 'communist' were necessarily something bad.
Total categorization such as that clearly reveals the mind behind it.
Being against one group does not mean being for another, to explain clearly to someone who is doubtless beyond reaching.
Whatever happened in political change Nicaragua certainly was affected by, to put it mildly, poor policies on the part of the US.
The laundry list of excuses to mis-categorize is too long to address entirely, and far too uninteresting.

What I regret about Reagan was that he convinced a large percentage of the American people that they could have the government they wanted without paying for it. I do not believe it was necessary to increase military spending during the 1980s, but if it was it was necessary to raise taxes to pay for it. Reagan cut taxes.

In his book The Triumph of Politics: Why the Reagan Revolution failed, David Stockman said that it was never possible to cut taxes, raise defense spending, and balance the budget like Reagan said it was during the campaign of 1980 without making cuts in domestic spending programs most Republican voters would have opposed.

In other words, the Reagan Revolution failed because it was fundamentally dishonest.

Assumes facts not in existence; to wit "the Reagan revolution failed."

It failed to cut taxes, raise defense spending and balance the budget by 1983 without cutting popular middle class entitlements, like Reagan said he could do during the campaign of 1980.

My vote is for George W. Bush, 43rd president. This president got in us in more hot water situations that nobody for the next 25 years will be able to alleviate the problems the US faces because of his presidency.
