Ronald Reagan actually said...

"The proud people of Nicaragua did not rise up against Somoza-and struggle, fight, and die-to have Cubans, Russians, Bulgarians, East Germans, and North Koreans running their prisons."

"The Senate has voted on tax reform, and the score is: taxpayers, 1; special interests, nothing."

"The United States must support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures."

"Nicaragua is becoming a Soviet base every day that we debate and debate and debate–and do nothing."
