Reagan is dead. His policies may live on, but we're in process of doing something about that as well

[seafan]

....so saith We The People of the United States to the monstrous purveyors of rabid conservative ideology, henceforth known as The Party That Destroyed America.


These include, but by no means limited to, George W. Bush, Hank Paulson, Ben Bernanke, Phil Gramm, George H. W. Bush, Newt Gingrich, Tom DeLay, Jack Abramoff. Grover Norquist, Jeb Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice, Richard Perle, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, David Addington, Rush Limbaugh, and Ronald Reagan's ghost.

The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.' ---Ronald Reagan, 40th president of US (1911 - 2004)

"My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years," he says, "to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub." ----Grover Norquist

"I'm not guilty of anything, and I will not succumb to the Democrats' criminalization of politics. I think it's incumbent on me to fight the politics of personal destruction that I've been living through for 12 years." ---Tom DeLay

MR. RUSSERT: You have said that you--your ultimate goal is a permanent Republican majority. What does that mean?

MR. ROVE: Well, first of all, there are no permanent majorities in American politics. They last for about 20 or 30 or 40 or, in the case of the Roosevelt coalition, 50 or 60 years and then they disappear. But would I like to see the Republican Party be the dominant party for whatever time history gives it the chance to be? You bet. ---Karl Rove, November 7, 2004

“Almost any important Republican who ... says they didn't know me is almost certainly lying.”

.....

“He (Bush) has one of the best memories of any politician I have ever met. Perhaps he has forgotten everything. Who knows?”

.....

“Good news. I think she (Norton) knows Grover.”

.....

“Call Grover, tell him I am in Michigan and that I have two checks for him totaling 160 and need a check back for Faith and Family for $150K.” ---Jack Abramoff

"You've heard of mental depression. This is a mental recession,"

....
"We have sort of become a nation of whiners. "You just hear this constant whining, complaining about a loss of competitiveness, America in decline." ---http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/politics/5882287.html">Phil Gramm, July 10, 2008

If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator. ---George W. Bush, December 18, 2000

“There would be no greater tribute to our maturity as a society than if we can make these buildings around us empty of workers—silent monuments to the time when government played a larger role than it deserved or could adequately fill.” ---Jeb Bush, second inaugural address, on the steps of the Old Capitol in Tallahassee, January, 2003

“All free people stand on Reagan's shoulders. His principled policies proved that free markets create wealth, that the rule of law sustains freedom, and that all people everywhere deserve the right to dream, to pursue their dreams, and to govern themselves.” ---Newt Gingrich

"It could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months," he said, speaking at the American air base at Aviano, in northern Italy. ---Donald Rumsfeld, February 7, 2003

I don't think anybody could have predicted that these people would take an airplane and slam it into the World Trade Center, take another one and slam it into the Pentagon; that they would try to use an airplane as a missile, a hijacked airplane as a missile. ---Condoleezza Rice, May 16, 2002


"The problem here is that there will always be some uncertainty about how quickly he can acquire nuclear weapons. But we don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud." --- Condoleezza Rice, September 8, 2002

.....

Asia's tsunami disaster provided a "wonderful opportunity" for the United States to show compassion with relief efforts that reaped "great dividends" on the diplomatic front.--- Secretary of State-designate Condoleezza Rice, January 18, 2005

Rice's remarks, made at her Senate confirmation hearing, drew a sharp rebuke from Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer who accused her of insensitivity to last month's catastrophe that claimed some 168,000 lives across the Indian Ocean.

“If we just let our vision of the world go forth, and we embrace it entirely, and we don’t try to piece together clever diplomacy but just wage a total war, our children will sing great songs about us years from now.” ---Richard Perle

Q. Mr. President, how do you respond to criticism that you did not act fast enough or you didn't respond to the needs -- -- (Post Hurricane Andrew in Florida, August, 1992)

The President. Well, I think the reason -- I would simply say this: First place, I'm not going to participate in the blame game, nor is Governor Chiles. What we're trying to do is help people. It doesn't do any good to go into "who shot John." I can tell you this, that this large a military movement would not have taken place if there was not very early planning and cooperation by the military, and we have responded. I think the Governor would agree that when he asked for this massive movement of force, it was only within a few hours that we responded to that.

So I think much more important than when something took place or didn't take place is the feeling we must convey of total cooperation. I'm satisfied that we responded properly, and I'm very confident that the military have conducted their mission so far with beautiful planning, now excellent execution. I'm also satisfied that they will do whatever it takes to go the extra mile to help the people of Florida. And that's all I'm going to say about that. ---George H W Bush, August 28, 1992

"What I’m hearing which is sort of scary is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. "And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this--this (she chuckles slightly) is working very well for them."
---Barbara Bush, after Hurricane Katrina, at the Houston Astrodome, September 5, 2005

"Why should we hear about body bags and deaths? Oh, I mean, it's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?" ---Barbara Bush, March 18, 2003, on "Good Morning America"

RADDATZ: Two-third of Americans say it’s not worth fighting (Iraq war).

CHENEY: So?

RADDATZ So? You don’t care what the American people think?

CHENEY: No. I think you cannot be blown off course by the fluctuations in the public opinion polls. ---http://thinkprogress.org/2008/03/19/cheney-poll-iraq/">March 19, 2008

“We’re going to push and push and push until some larger force makes us stop.” ---David Addington, legal counsel to Dick Cheney

''We need this to be clean and to be quick.'' ---Treasury Secretary Paulson, September 21, 2008
