reagan was shit.
but.
if you are an american republican, who are you supposed to claim was a great modern american?
nixon?
ford?
1-term bush senior?
eisenhower, the federal spending maestro?
hoover?
bush 'mistar socialism' jr?
You look at your list. And you discover Reagan must have been the greatest man ever. And that's your propaganda.
Now, normally when REpublicans start out their pro-Reagan circle jerk action, Dems point to the actual facts about his administration and people say "oh yeah, he WAS a douchebag" and quit paying attention.
but for quite a while, reagan has been either A) dying of Alzheimers
or
B) recently died of Alzheimers
making it very difficult for dems to piss on his memory.
So for fivish years, we've had nothing but the most pro-reagan possible stuff in the media. give it a few years, and republicans will try to put him on a coin, and dems will jump on him.
