“Mr. Reagan will raise taxes; and so will I. He won't tell you. I just did.”
Walter Mondale
“In the heat of a political lifetime, Ronald Reagan innocently squirrels away tidbits of misinformation and then, sometimes years later, casually drops them into his public discourse, like gum balls in a quiche.”
Lucy Howard
“Ronald Reagan was the greatest president of the twentieth century.”
Rush Limbaugh
“At least when Ronald Reagan rode off in the movies into the fiery sunset, he didn't take us with him”
“Reagan won because he ran against Jimmy Carter. If he ran unopposed he would have lost.”
Mort Sahl
“President Reagan fueled the spirit of America. His smile, his optimism, his total belief in the ultimate triumph of democracy and freedom, and his willingness to act on that belief, helped end the Cold War and usher in a new and brighter phase of history.”
Colin Powell
“I wonder if those people shown protesting the deployment of nuclear weapons to western Europe during the Reagan era are feeling appropriately stupid today. 'Please don't take away our precious Soviet Union! - We demand the annihilation of all life on Earth!'”
