Well, it's an interesting tale, I'll give you that.

 

[Watchman]

I hope it's directed by Oliver Stone.

 

[Prison Mike]

Why do people treat Reagan like he was God?

 

[DarkSovereignty]

ronald regan...the actor?!?! what next, a film about jerry lewis?

 

[DarkSovereignty]

Why do people treat Reagan like he was God?

idk, i really don't. i always pictured him as the epitome of american arrogance personlly, i guess it's a republican thing.

 

[The Executioner]

Why do people treat Reagan like he was God?

He is considered one of the best presidents ever in U.S. history.

 

[Wheels]

Break out the Jelly Beans!

 

[Dr. Evil]

So would the part of Reagan be played by Rich Little?

Jim Carrey can play a decent Ronald Reagan. He did so in a Funny or Die video.

 

[The Executioner]

Movie should be great. Jim Carrey as Reagan? Would people take it seriously considering Carrey made a career doing comedy films.

 

[Spider-Who?]

i don't treat him as such (though I do think he was one of the better presidents), but current historians claim that history has vindicated him. He was the most influential president since Franklin; advocated lower taxes; helped bring about a PEACEFUL END to the Cold War; brought back dignity and faith back to the presidency; had strong support for Israel; appointed the first female Supreme Court Justice; hell the guy even had DEMOCRATS on his side (the "reagan democrats").

but in the same vein, a lot of people still vilify him...

 

[terry78]

Reagan was a very moderate conservative, that's why he gets respect from both ends of the spectrum usually. He wasn't real hawkish about **** and didn't come off like a jerk.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Dennis Quaid would be a good Reagan.

Except in some cases people feel that he helped make the rich richer and the poor poorer.

 

[Immortalfire]

Ronald Reagan? The actor??

 

[The Executioner]

Ronald Reagan? The actor??

No the president.

A moderate conservative? Pretty sure that's an oxymoron. Reagan was the most right wing president we've ever had. The left despised him and all he stood for.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Oh geez. Let the republican defication begin. I can see Fox News now...

People can like who they like but he wasn't a moderate.

 

[scifiwolf]

Regardless of the politics, there's an awful lot of material to mine for a really good story. The man led a very full life.

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

I for one am excited! I love Reagan

 

[Figs]

Why do people treat Reagan like he was God?

I don't know, last time I checked I would mainly see people talking trash about him. Especially in regards to cencorship of music and movies even though that was more of his wife's thing.

idk, i really don't. i always pictured him as the epitome of american arrogance personlly, i guess it's a republican thing.

What? How?!?

 

[GhostPoet]

Silvester Stallone as Ronald Reagan!

 

[Franklin Richards]

I wanna see Reagan's puppet from World of Confusion fight Kim Jong Il from Team America.

 

[The Executioner]

Silvester Stallone as Ronald Reagan!

Hope that was a joke.

ronald regan...the actor?!?! what next, a film about jerry lewis?

Ronald Reagan? The actor??

And I suppose Jane Wyman is the First Lady?! And Jack Benny is Secretary of the Treasury?!

HAHAHA. I would LOVE to know your reasons why.

The left despised him and all he stood for.

Apparently you've never heard the term "Reagan Democrat".




even with his mess with South America in mind, there's a whole lot of misinformation and ignorance going on about this guy in this thread. I suggest doing some actual reading up on his presidency, and not just listening to the guy on partisan tv telling you how you should feel about the president.

and for the record, no, I am not a republican.

I wanna see Reagan's puppet from World of Confusion fight Kim Jong Il from Team America.

Oh, god, that music video TERRIFIED ME as a kid.
