Richard Nixon, a self-less man? Ronald Reagan? I don't want turn this thread into political debate, so maybe we can take it elsewhere. But those were two horrible, greedy, corporate-pleasing, bastards.

Well, this is a forum with banter in its title, and this is the lounge. You needn't parade your defeat in every thread you go into.

Thank you for pointing out on two threads that I am old and also that I choose a Republican candidate, which i did only because it sickens me to listen to the democrats of today. I came to the states when men like Richard Nixon, Jack Kennedy and Ronald Reagan made their mark and while each had their personal faults they were dedicated selfless men. In closing, once again screw you for calling me old!

The Truth Hurts...

Happy birthday...hey, you're old enough to be my daddy...

I am only old here and at the bars we play in, I am young everywhere else so no worries.

As far as the political banter, it's easy to spot a staunch liberal or conservative from miles away. There is no talking sense into them, they see the world in a very black and white way mine is as I believe jgd said very much grey. While politics are a delightful topic, I keep my distance from such debates online, it never goes anywhere.

I will say with comfortably certainty...

If you don't know how unselfish men like Regan and Nixon were, you need to freshen up on history before the political revisionists got to it. Say what you will about their politics, they both gave of themselves and their time throughout their entire lives like few since have. They were good men with good intentions and that counts for something.

You have just said :--While politics are a delightful topic, I keep my distance from such debates online, it never goes anywhere.--

Then you go on to wax lyrical about Reagen etc. Leave politics at the wolf's door where it belongs.

I didn't say I don't bloviate about Politics just that i don't debate them...

Alas I agree with your recommendation the buck stops here.
