The timing couldn't be better

With tonight's Republican debate coming from the Reagan Library we will once again hear the ridiculous revisionism of how he was such a great president.

What a joke.  Here are 10 facts from Think Progress to think about tonight when the pretenders start harping about the man that wasn't.  The historical facts are easily attainable.

1. Reagan was a serial tax raiser.
2. Reagan nearly more than tripled the federal budget deficit debt.
3. Unemployment soared after Reagan’s 1981 tax cuts.
4. Reagan grew the size of the federal government tremendously.
5. Reagan did little to fight a woman’s right to choose.
6. Reagan was a “bellicose peacenik.”
7. Reagan gave amnesty to 3 million undocumented immigrants.
8. Reagan illegally funneled weapons to Iran.
9. Reagan vetoed a comprehensive anti-Apartheid act.
10. Reagan helped create the Taliban and Osama Bin Laden.

Of course, the facts don't matter to the sheep. But the people who do think they matter; we'll continue to challenge and correct you on them.
