As U.K. elections go, so goes U.S.?

Since Honda asked the question (rhetorically of course), I thought it deserved answer. Ignoring the fact that the Libtard version of the history of Ronald Reagan changes daily, here are some of those nasty facts which Honda and his minions despise.

As U.K. elections go, so goes U.S.?

ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER:
Does Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron’s smashing re-election victory last week in the United Kingdom presage good fortunes for Republicans in the 2016 presidential race? We’re not making predictions. But history has shown a strong – although not perfect – coincidence between political events in “two countries divided by a common language,” a phrase attributed to playwright George Bernard Shaw.

Conservative Margaret Thatcher’s 1979 election preceded Republican Ronald Reagan’s by a year. Both championed curbing labor-union power, tax cuts to spur the economy, privatization and standing up to the Soviet Union. They became fast friends.

In 1993, Democrat Bill Clinton became president, ending 12 years of Republican rule, using “triangulation.” That meant getting rid of the more big-government policies of the party’s George McGovern wing in favor of some free-market policies and reforming welfare, while maintaining a progressive stance on abortion and other social issues. In 1997, the Labor Party’s Tony Blair was elected prime minister by promising what came to be called “Cool Britannia,” which jettisoned the strong socialism of longtime leader Neil Kinnock.

Mr. Cameron came to power in 2010, ousting Labor’s George Brown, the same year Republicans took back control of the House of Representatives. And his re-election came after Republicans scored huge victories last November in the House, while taking back control of the Senate.

    I'm going to start keeping track of the words you use that you don't actually know the meaning of.

    So far we have-
    strawman
    rhetorical

    Also, for future reference, when discussing versions of Ronald Reagan you don't have to specify that it's history. All versions of Ronald Reagan are historical.

    Death. The one who uses Britain to declare victory for Republicans in America. Cause with large deficits, all we need right now is tax cuts on the wealthy to reduce the deficit and so they will hire people. Cause that's worked so well in the past.

    hondo... why are you suddenly concerned about the deficit?

    and...

    Which taxes and what tax rates would you raise to eliminate it?

    Who said I would raise taxes. Great job as always adding words to my mouth.

    If Reagan hadn't been such a staunch supporter of the Mujahideen Jihadists, we'd never have had the Al Queda Jihadists. Rush dick suckers must be so proud.

    That's what happens when you have 7 parties, some of which only exist in Scotland and No. Ireland. Understandable though, Oregon IS last place in academic standing in the Pac-12.

    We could try raising the minimum wage to that end.

    Nobody can put words in your mouth. There's no room with Obama's balls in there.

    Off the top of my head, cap. gains are like 15%. In most advanced cuntries, that rate is much higher.

    Close all the tbtf corp. loopholes.

    The top tax bracket used to pay 70-94% from the Depression through the early 80s. What is it now? 39.6? With creative accounting, it's under 25 or even 20 percent.

    Creative accounting?... Like what?... Or can you name anything?
