The presidency of Ronald Reagan in the United States was marked by multiple scandals, resulting in the investigation, indictment, or conviction of 138 administration officials, the largest number for any president to date.[1] The most well known of these scandals, the Iran-Contra affair, involved a plan whereby weapons were sold to Iran and the profits diverted to fund the Nicaraguan Contras, in violation of U.S. and international law.
The HUD rigging scandal consisted of Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Samuel Pierce and his associates rigging low income housing bids to favor Republican contributors to Reagan's campaign as well as rewarding Republican lobbyists such as James G. Watt a former Secretary of the Interior. [2] Sixteen convictions were eventually handed down.[3]
In the Sewergate scandal, officials at the EPA were found guilty of using money from Superfund to enhance the election prospects of local politicians aligned with the administration.
The Lobbying scandal involved Reagan's Chief of Staff Michael Deaver and Reagan's Press Secretary Lyn Nofziger both being charged with lobbying improprieties.
The EPA scandal occurred when the head of the EPA Rita Lavelle was found in Contempt of Congress and her assistant Rita Lavelle was convicted of perjury. It involving channeling of EPA funds to projects which aided local Republican politicans.
The Inslaw Affair involved Deputy Attorney General D. Lowell Jensen and C. Madison Brewer both being held in Contempt of Congress for alleged theft of software and services from the Inslaw Corporation.

I do not agree with most of the things this administration has done, but saying things which aren't true or factual to discredit them is mere slander and gives you no leg to stand on. You may as well just post "Obama is smelly".aerial wrote:good post friend...
They want to play word games here because that’s all they got......notice no one has said a word about all Obama’s buddies....they just keep following.......“We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” Abraham Lincoln0 -

Nice response. You're really doing yourself proud.
Ronald Reagan was a criminal. He was responsible for the murder of hundreds of thousands, including the murder of children and the raping of nuns. He was responsible for the U.S being convicted by the World Court for the crime of international terrorism for it's conduct in Nicaragua. He was also the most corrupt U.S President to date. He was responsible for selling weapons to Iran in order to fund death squads in Latin America.
Just a bunch of bla bla bla though, right?
Clearly he's a hero of yours.Post edited by Byrnzie on0 -

What do you call someone who neither reads nor understands Marx and Lenin?
.... ?
and I would call you a blank blank
Ive read enough to know what i need to know. The man was a miscreant and a Depressed insomniac who hated the middle class and the working class for that matter. He wanted the Gov to control everything.
Oh I forgot he was also an amoral relativist and secular humanist alsoPost edited by WaveCameCrashin on0 -

No it is not any more "heading that way" than during Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Bush. If you want to get technical, our nation is and has transformed in the 20th Century into a oligarchy. Big Business and government in bed to create a better environment for profit and to maintain their own power, and if you go back and look at all your list of examples of "wrong-doings", whether it's this adminstration or the last several, it is exactly just that.
Lastly and let me be clear, unless you woke up yesterday, these things have been going on for decades in our nation. To out of the blue demonize Obama any more than anyone before him is mere biased partisan politics or smear tactices because your political leaning isn't winning. If you're so intrigued by the company government keeps and involves themselves with or any of the ongoing issues we see in government, perhaps studying and learning more about the issues and what causes them compared to simply pointing the finger at the latest version of it in government and our system.aerial wrote:We are saying it's heading that way...it's starting

I'll give you that ,but I believe Obama is an Overdrive and he is intentionally trying to bring this country down and transform it into something we are not.0 -
I agree and the answer is not more Government Rule.....the answer is to hold everyone in the White House accountable for there actionsFiveB247x wrote:No it is not any more "heading that way" than during Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Bush.

See here's what I do not understand.... The Dems have control of the Congress and can't pass things as they please, so how exactly are they transforming the nation? Last I checked both Dems and Reps are responsible for voting in most of the stuff you're complaining about. Also, did you just wake up politically - how come much of this "responsibility and accountability" has spurred out of the blue? Where has this been for the past few decades? Seems like it only veers its head out when a Democrat is in office... why is that?prfctlefts wrote:I'll give you that ,but I believe Obama is an Overdrive and he is intentionally trying to bring this country down and transform it into something we are not.aerial wrote:I agree and the answer is not more Government Rule.....the answer is to hold everyone in the White House accountable for there actionsCONservative governMENt

I have to go to work now,but No I just didn't wake up politically,but all the examples that I have seen lately makes me think that the left the far left that is, wants to change this country into something else.0

I don't discount racism in our nation, but I think Clinton was also criticized by the right and non-democrats for the same reasons... basically accountability and responsibility but only because a Dem was in office. This mantra seems to disappear when Reps are in office and ironically it's when we have some of our worst crimes committed.. you know like genocide, war, globalization and similar. But passing legislation which makes people pay taxes which will help things like healthcare coverage for uninsured or similar, this is treasonous. :roll:gimmesometruth27 wrote:no, people woke up when an african american won the election and is now running their precious country....gotta love that hatriotism..CONservative governMENt
