Rating:  Summary: A Must Read Review: Contrary to what our Canadian reviewer below says, this book is not "made up" information about Reagan. These are actual remarks Reagan made; Mark Green explains in fantastic-yet-brief detail just what makes a remark yet another Reagan whopper.As for greatest President of the 20th century, sorry, but Reagan was one of the worst--he stood by while AIDS became a plague that would take 25,000 American lives during his tenure alone; illegally funded the Contras by selling arms to Iran (and lied about it until the facts wouldn't let him); supported death squads in Central America that committed such noble acts as raping nuns (to which Reagan claimed the rapists were acting in self-defense); poisoning America's political discourse by making it okay to slime and smear opponents at will; making it cool to be a racist again with his "welfare queens" mantra; raping the environment so the rich could get richer; shifting the tax burden mostly to the middle class, who, like idiots, all but thanked him for it; expanding the government into a bigger entity than it had ever been; running up record deficits; removing the Fairness Doctrine from our airwaves and thereby opening them for rabidly partisan hate speech; and--oh yeah--selling biological and chemical weapons to Saddam Hussein. If you want to know what went wrong with political discourse in America, look no further than Reagan's reign of error. All of this and more is in Mr. Green's fine collection of quotes-over 160 largish pages of them! I highly recommend this one.

Rating:  Summary: The truth about Ronnie Raygun Review: This booklet is a classic. It's essentially a long, well-organized list of contradictory Reagan quotes - some from the same day. For example, "I love trees and think they are unique" versus "I think that if you've seen one tree, you've seen them all." If you have had a sneaking suspicion that there is/was something flaky about old Ronnie, confirm that suspicion with this booklet.
Rating:  Summary: Lies Revealed Review: This is a well-documented book on the lies and contridictions of Ronald Reagan. People who love Reagan beware, the truth hurts. Like Reagan says, facts are funny things. This would be a great gift to those people who believe that Reagan could be considered anything more than a terrible President.

Rating:  Summary: The truth about Ronnie Raygun Review: What a load of absolute rubbish. To make money by writing in such a pathetic form abour your country's best president in the 20th Century is American capitalism at its very worst. PATHETIC!
