Is this the Most Important Election since 1980?

[Donerail]

did Reagan know how to spell 'ideology' in 1984?

Wonderful to see the left learning to laugh at Alzheimers. Reagan was infinitely more intelligent than people gave him credit for.

You misinterpret - our reference to his mental incopetence is to excuse his crimes.  If he were perfectly cognizant throughout he's as culpable a criminal as the Bushs, perhaps worse.

Ah yes and what 'crimes' were those?

Lebanon intervention, Iran-Iraq intervention, Iran-Contra, Libya bombing, Grenada invasion, funding groups in Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Panama, Honduras, Nicaragua, Afghanistan, Mozambique, Angola, and Cambodia, war on drugs, expansion of government and regulation, foreign aid increase, restrictions on 'sin'.

Lebanon intervention: American troops occupying a foreign nation. Sounds like imperialism to me.
Iran-Iraq intervention: It's generally considered 'bad' to shoot down civilian airliners. And you realize you're arguing for Saddam, right?
Libya: Bombing a foreign country in a preventative strike. Imperialism.
Grenada: Imperialist invasion of a Commonwealth realm to distract from the events three sentences up.
El Salvador: Human rights abuses? Heard of them?
Guatemala: See El Salvador
Panama: Invading another sovereign country. Imperialism.
Honduras: Battalion 316.
Nicaragua: Funding terrorists isn't a good idea.
Afghanistan: Especially not when those terrorists are Osama bin Laden.
Mozambique: RENAMO aren't exactly great people either, and funding the guys whose major supporter is Rhodesia isn't conductive to increasing the US's image in Africa.
Angola: See above, add in 'or apartheid South Africa'.
War on Drugs: Restrictions on personal liberty, incarcerating thousands for no reason.
Foreign aid increase: This increase is from a so-called fiscal conservative.
Restrictions on 'sin': This is doing stuff like excessively taxing alcohol and attempting to ban porn. Not good.

This Imperialism rubbish is starting to annoy me. Has every single foreign war fought by the United States been an act of imperialism?

Anyway, this stuff about increasing the U.S image in Africa, quite frankly, does that mean cosying up to communist dictators?

Calling foreign aid a crime is one of the funniest things I've ever heard in my life.

For the most part, yes. As for increasing US image, it means not bombing them.
