Battle of the polar opposites: FDR vs. RWR

[Mr. Smith]

Reagan is more disgusting than Nixon, his administration was guilty of just as much corruption. I can't say FDR was completely squeaky clean, but he had a way of keeping it all mostly straight.

He still started programs that benefited black people, which made for a slow climb upward towards Civil Rights. Hate to say it Rocky but "he needed Southern Democrats" is a good excuse.

He didn't deliberately start his campaign in a place where horrible racially charged murders happened and subtlely side with those ideologically like those murderers. Any peace Reagan made with the formal apology to those Japanese interned in WWII, is completely nullified by his support for Apartheid.

And if FDR ever did something like Iran-Contra, I must've missed it.

And then there was Reagan's (and by extension everyone after him) efforts on the War on Drugs, which is a disaster. Contrast FDR helping end the stupidity of Prohibition..

He didn't leave mentally disabled people out to dry, Reagan did.

To say FDR curbstomps Reagan is an understatement.
