Reagan lost 250 Marines in Lebanon to a truck bomb, AFTER the terrorists attacked the French paras and the US embassy using the SAME technique, and you guys let him get away with it. Those men were never avenged, Reagan turned tail and ran from Lebanon. In fact, the troops he sent to reinforce them were sent instead to "liberate" Grenada instead. It was a disgrace. We were the laughing stock of the world. And like I said, you name aircraft carriers after that SOB.

And of course, Iran-contra was not just an impeachable offense, it was treason. Selling weapons to Iran in order to get our hostages out sure sounds like "giving aid and comfort to the enemy" to me, especially after promising the country he would "never negotiate with terrorists". What a smarmy lying piece of crap that whole administration was. Iran-contra was the Bergdahl hostage trade on a grand scale, except it was planned to remain secret forever because it was so foul. Not that it mattered. When the smell finally leaked out, Saint Ronnie got a free pass from his patriot pals anyway. He could do no wrong.

And conducting his own private war in Nicaragua right after Congress specifically ordered him not to is also a constitutionally impeachable offense. As well as treason. In any other country he would have swung from the gallows for either one.

People were convicted and went to prison for Iran-Contra. You know I'm not making this up.

And do you really think that the Iranian hostages being released as soon as Reagan took the oath of office was a coincidence? Its an open secret that deal was arranged ahead of time. The Iranians knew it would be worth their while if they delayed releasing the embassy people until after Carter left. Heaven only knows what their payoff was.

As for Bengazi, those guys were killed on a night when a score of US embassies were being simultaneously attacked across a dozen time zones because of the reaction to the video. Nothing could be done about it while it was happening because no one knew for sure what the hell was going on. Afterwards, it didn't really matter what happened. Issa's tried for months to turn up a smoking gun on that and he has nothing to show for it. Nothing, zero, nada, zilch. He just used it to attack Rice, then Obama, and then Clinton, and now Kerry. Its the all-purpose conspiracy. It just all the FOX indignation and scandal factory feeding the rednecks what they want to hear because their Great White Hope, the Bush Baby, single-handedly wrecked the American Dream and lied us into a decade of war. After all, if Bengazi was all that obvious, response to the issue wouldn't be so partisan, would it? This is just more birth certificate masturbation. Remember how sure your guys were about that?

The Right will put up with any crimes or promote any lies if they think they can get a tax cut out of it, abolish a union, get rid of some pesky regulation, or figure out how to divert cash from the working and middle classes into their own pockets. Their major policy position is to keep working people so desperate not to lose their jobs they will put up with any crap for the privilege of working just a little longer. Its no coincidence that as worker productivity, corporate profits, the stock market and executive compensation went up, salaries and employment dropped. That's not the laws of economics, its the Republican Party Platform.

You ought to try going Up the Line yourself, sometime. You'll see for yourself that race really has nothing to do with it. Its all about money. That's all that matters to these creeps.
