Rudy still believes that Florida is chock-a-bloc with retired New York Jews. It is, but they have been outnumbered for twenty years by the Cubans.

Is this guy for real?

That was a very good recap of the candidates, Joe.
Even a Republican must admit that none of the candidates is even
remotely a consideration for president.

He's way too old Tico. Let's not forget that people in this country retire
usually with 65, and McCain is 72 - way over the hill. I would not want
such an old person rule a country whose population is much much younger.

Let's face it, Tico, at 72 you're no longer capable of running a country.

I think you are missing the point of trustworthyness.

How someone votes is hardly a measure of their trustworthyness. But someone who fears and worships God and tries to live their life in a way that reflects their beliefs, is at least in my eyes, more worthy of my trust than some agenda laden city dweller that is constantly bombarded by the very biased media.

budget deficits soared to record heights. The national debt doubled, as a percentage of the economy, before Mr. Reagan's successors were able to bring it under control. This "military Keynesianism" did pull the economy out of the 1982 recession, but the 1980s still chalked up the slowest growth of any decade in the post-World War II era. And income was redistributed to the wealthy as never before: during the 1980s, most of the country's income gains went to the top 1 or 2 percent of households.

Mr. Reagan also helped redistribute American income and wealth with a bold assault on American labor. In 1981 he summarily fired 12,000 air traffic controllers who went on strike for better working conditions. This ushered in a new and dark era of labor relations, with employers now free to "permanently replace" striking workers. The median real wage failed to grow during the decade of the 1980s.

The Reagan revolution caused even more economic damage internationally, for example by changing policy at the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. Thus began the era of "structural adjustment" -- a set of economic policies that has become so discredited worldwide that the IMF and World Bank no longer use the term. The 1980s became "the lost decade" for Latin America, the region most affected by Washington's foreign economic policy. Income per person actually shrank for the decade, a rare historical event, and the region has yet to come close to its pre-1980s growth rates.

Your disagreement with my support of him aside, do you think Reagan was "capable of running a country"?

I have no idea what you just said, spendius
