Take responsibilty? Uh, okay, I said that Obama bought votes because he offered free stuff to people. Do you not think this caused a lot of people to vote for him.
Romney offered tax cuts for everyone! I guess you don't consider Romney's offer of tax cuts "free stuff". And even that didn't work.
As for Reagan, he easily is one of the top five presidents of all time. He restored American prosperity and greatness that we were so lacking. He was a great speaker, even better than Obama. That's what we need right now. I think his farewell address sums it up well, if you ever have the time to watch it. It'll bring tears to your eyes, I gurantee it. Google "Ronald Reagan's Farewell Address" and it should be the 21 minute YouTube video that comes up.
Well it was certainly prosperous for the rich. The poor didn't far so well. 8 million additional people were placed on food stamps in Reagan's first term. He doubled the federal deficit, and the US experienced the first of several major stock market crashes before he left office - the first such crash since 1929.
It's easy to look rich and prosperous on borrowed money. If I took out big loans I could buy a new house, a new car, a new wardrobe and then everyone would say how prosperous I am, but I didn't really pay for that stuff and I can't really afford it.
Reagan cut taxes and then went on a government spending spree on borrowed money, ran up a huge deficit by increasing military spending, increasing the size of government, and all of the things Republicans are supposed to be against.
Yes, Reagan's Farewell Address was a tearjerker. The guy wasn't called The Great Communicator for nothing. But he's a professional actor reading lines. It's what he did all of his professional life. That doesn't make him a great president.
And I'm 14; my parents cover my health coverage. But I'm glad to see you don't support universal healthcare!
How can you oppose universal health care? Do you think the poor don't get sick, or don't deserve proper treatment if they do? If your parents lost their jobs, and you got sick, what would happen to you? Do you think if your parent lost their jobs, you don't deserve to get treatment if you get sick?
The United States has the most expensive health care in the world, and yet people live longer in countries with universal health care. Fewer babies die, and these countries don't have the high rates of obesity and other health problems Americans have.
And regarding my news source, I get information from many sources. I trust fox the most, though, because even though I do believe they have conservative bias they have a lot of liberals on it that pretty much even things out. They also are the minority in terms of having lots of conservative commentators; so if they mess up, we'll all here about it on the other outlets. Where do you get your news, MSNBC?
Fox News lies. They told everyone all the polls were wrong because they were biased and Romney would win in a landslide. They said that Obama was born in Kenya. They are the public relations arm of the Republican Party.
Do not believe anything ANY network tells you. Fact check everything you are told. Given the state of the American media these days, it's the only hope you have of getting correct information.
