Well I'm glad to see there are level headed and reasonable people on the net such as Milo and Simard. You fuzzy headed liberals use the 'squeeky gear' theory. Your always on the net yelling liberal views the LOUDEST. The claim that Jimmy's fruits were bearing in El Salvado is crazy. They damn near went communist. Ronnie put a halt to that fast. In fact the the spread of communisim for the last four years is -1 (Grenada). Under Carter it was +2. Nicaragwa and Afganistan. The Russians saw him as a WIMP when he did'nt have the BALLS to save his own people. They (Soviets) figured if he won't save his own people he surely won't commit troops to Afganistan to save goat farmers ---- So they invaded and they were right. He was and is a wimp. Sure wish you fuzzy headed liberals would quit doing what Mondale taught you. Quit lying about what Reagan will do. How in the hell do you know what he is going to do. All around the country Mondale spreads this lie that Reagan is going to 'secretly' raise taxes. Now you liberals 'know' for sure its going to be a value added tax (VAT). The man (Reagan) has said he will only raise taxes as a last resort. Mondale promised to raise taxes as a FIRST resort. Of the two men which one has given you a tax reduction....REAGAN! Yes I'm voting from my pocket book. It does'nt make a bit of sense for me to go into personal debt because of the national debt. When I was boarn they were doing deficit spending and they will probably do deficit spending when I die. Don't kid anybody you liberals are voting with your pocket book too. All you're concerned about is what type of federal grant money you can get from us the TAX PAYERS. I'm voting for Reagan and I'll will influence everyone I can to do the same. I'm hoping for a huge land slide victory to finally FLUSH Fritz Mondale out of our political system once an for all!

Reagan isn't a wimp? Somebody made the (very good) point that at least Carter tried to do something about the hostages, and nobody did get killed, whereas three times so far, we've been bombed in Lebanon and Reagan hasn't lifted a finger, either to retaliate or to to prevent it from happening again. Pretty wimpy, I'd say. Also, you seem to have a very simple-minded idea of foreign policy -- stopping communism (Leninism, that is) is the most important foreign policy goal of the US, but you can't just count governments like you are doing. Reagan has (arguably) prevented the spread of communism, but at the expense of making some of the most repressive anti-communist regiemes worse, and making it easier for the communists to take over in the future. I won't say things were better under Carter, or will be under Mondale. The fact is that since Nixon our prestige in the world has been going steadily downhill, and neither of the candidates now are likely to stop that decline. Wayne

Nobody got killed? Surely the photos of the slain US servicemen who made the rescue attempt havent slipped your mind? The troops in Lebanon died because an enemy was shooting at them. The troops in Iran died purely out of poor mission planning and the watering down of the scale of the operation by Carter himself. One thing Reagan hasnt done is tried to use irresponsible restaint when the US engages in military action. Reports say that the Grenada invaision was almost totally planned by the military, with almost no intervention by the white house. Reagan knows to let the military professionals do what they do best, I doubt Mondale would be the same way. Milo

Please let us know what action involving troops you would propose after the Soviets invaded Afghanistan (a land-locked country adjacent to the USSR). Perhaps you would call for a full scale airborne assault from US carriers based in the Arabian Sea, or maybe Pakistan would let us use their nation as a staging area for a land assault? Maybe we ought to invade Cuba in retaliation? There are a lot of people who are both fed up with Carter and disagree with President Reagan's macho chest beating. It was time long ago for the U.S. to stop supporting right-wing dicatorships just because they are anti-communist. This country's proper position ought to be as the protagonist of democracy, rather than merely as the antagonist of communism. As a case in point, consider India. Whatever its problems, including the actions of Indira in 1975, this country is the largest democracy in the world. However, because she has refused to cater to the demands of the U.S. by remaining one of the non-aligned nations, and also due to its underground testing of a single nuclear device in 1974, relations between the U.S. and India have been strained for years. We have consistently backed her antagonists (Pakistan in particular, whose president Zia gained power during a coup in July 1977) and the amount of aid given to India is ridiculous considering it's size, it's potential, it's problems, and the fact that it is a TRUE DEMOCRACY. -- Not a Soviet dupe, not an imperialist pig-dog, Don't have enough hair to be fuzzy headed... {ihnp4 hao philabs sdcrdcf ucbvax!nbires}!stcvax!lat Larry Tepper Storage Technology, MD-3T, Louisville, CO 80028 303-673-5435

Nobody got killed during the hostage crisis? Tell that to the families of the aborted rescue mission people that Carter and his cronies emasculated halfway through the operation. T. C. Wheeler
