If Reagan “won” the cold war why did Gorbachev get the Nobel peace prize instead? I realize you were not even born back then but if you had been you would realize that end of the cold war came because Gorbachev decided to ignore Reagan’s militarism and act unilaterally. You would also realize the cold war wasn’t actually a war and it had been going on in every presidency on that graph. (What is it with Republicans, everything is a “war”. I think that could be why they handle real wars so badly, they don’t really understand what they are.)
BTW, the cato institute is another right wing propaganda organization designed to convince people to turn over their money and liberty to big biasness. You may want to take anything they say with a grain of salt, they do not have your best interest at heart.
you leftist enjoy rewriting history.
the cold war was 'fought' between the US and USSR.
who won the cold war? are you saying russia won?
Agreed...

I will forgive your obvious ignorance of American History since you are Canadian.
First off Republicans are the party against War. They were Elected to end wars. Only recently have "Neocons" gone completely against the historical precendence of the Republican Party.
Democrats are the WAR Party:
First Barbary War
Second Barbary War
War of 1812
Mexican American War
Intervention in the Russian Civil War
WW1
WW2
Korea
Vietnam
Somalia
Kosovo
Technically the Bush family is the only aspect of the Republican Party that historically has gone to War. With Bush Jr being the predominate one and also being a major NeoCon.
You do realize that the vast majority of "Big Business" is liberal right? The vast majority of CEOs are liberals.
Once again Republicans are the Party of Small Government, non-interventionism, low taxes for all, etc. Lately "NeoCons" have adopted a lot of historically Democrat/Liberal Ideas.
If you think that Reagan had nothing to do with the end of the Cold War or the end of Communism in Russian then you are simply ignorant. Reagan convinced the Saudies to up gas production. This made it impossible for Russia to earn enough money to keep their vast Military Structure working which in turn made it impossible for Russian Communism to dominate. It is no Accident that Gorbachev was elected
here is an excerpt about him:
In 1985, Gorbachev announced that the Soviet economy was stalled and that reorganization was needed. Initially, his reforms were called uskoreniye (acceleration) but later the terms glasnost (liberalisation, opening up) and perestroika (restructuring) became much more popular.
What caused the Soviet economy to stall?

When did the US troops march surround the red army and capture Moscow, I must have missed that. Oh, I see, you are saying they did and it’s all just a giant conspiracy to hide it and revises history.
BTW I’m a moderate right of center who doesn’t care for extremists of any flavor, and doesn’t like propaganda BS from right or left, The problem is the US right has it’s head so far up the ass of their corporate overloads they can’t see they have been made into
Hmm so the Republicans have Oil&Gas, General Contractors, Beer Wine & Liquorand Automotive as our three main while the rest are pretty much for Democrats. Wow Even the Defense Aerospace industry gave more to Democrats then republicans.
So no the Republicans are not the Party of "Big Business". Unlike you Lomiller I actually use proof to back up my claims. You on the other hand like all Liberals use insults when faced with superior truth.

So out of 13 Industries the republicans were given more money in only 4 of them. (Defense not being one of them) With the total in those 4 ares the Repulicans only recieved about 6 million more dollars then the Dems did total in those areas. The Dems on the other hand recieved about 100 million more dollars in the other 9 industries where they beat the Republicans. But Republicans are the party of Big Business?

Who is campaigning on tax cuts to big business. I’ll give you a hint, his name starts with an M and ends with a cCain. Who is complaining Obama will raise taxes on people making over 250K a year, McCain. Who wants the richest of the rich who own these business to make their personal profits tax free, that’s another longstanding Republican line.
As I said elsewhere big business gives to both sides so the winner “owes” them, you’re your “facts” tell us is that no one things McCain will win.

What is going to give Big Business more money? Lower Healthcare costs or Tax Breaks? I would be willing to wager that even after taxing people over 250K at a higher rate that Corporations themselves will be getting a bigger break from Obama at the cost of the taxpayers then under McCain.
Except the Oil companies. I will give you that Oil Companies make more money under Republicans since democrats single them out for higher "Windfall" taxes. But Oil Companies are not the only Big Business in town.

Other great peace prize winners..there are probably more good ones.
Terrorist Yasser Arafat...I guess in this case it is awarded before any peace actually exist.
Jimmy Carter...hey, he is a good guy on the left who deserves it. What did he get it for again? Anybody know without looking?
Al Gore...for making a movie raising global warming hysteria to a new level. Somehow it is related to peace.
IAEA...another one prematurly awarded.
Gorbachev got waxed and won a consolation prize.
Using peace prize winner for an argument doesn't hold much sway. They are just another politcal group with an agenda.
When did the US troops march surround the red army and capture Moscow, I must have missed that. Oh, I see, you are saying they did and it’s all just a giant conspiracy to hide it and revises history.

Are you insane?
What is so insane about that? Business wants to throw off as much cost onto the government as possible. Healthcare would be a big savings for them.

It is pretty much evenly split.
If you look at Executives it is pretty split as well.

Of course when "Liberals" talk about business they completely ignore the entertainment industry because somehow that doesn't qualify as business?
newsmeat.com/celebrity_political_donations/index.php
Or how about the business of Media? That one seems to skew to Liberal as well:
newsmeat.com/media_political_donations/index.php
The business of Sports skews pretty heavy to Liberal as well:
newsmeat.com/sports_political_donations/index.php
See that is why "Big Business" is in quotes. Liberals like to make the claim of Big business being Haliburton and Oil companies and that is all.
Hmm here is a nice list of the top 50 industries donations:
Hmm so the Republicans have Oil&Gas, General Contractors, Beer Wine & Liquorand Automotive as our three main while the rest are pretty much for Democrats. Wow Even the Defense Aerospace industry gave more to Democrats then republicans.

wow. facts.numbers.
so democrats are in the pockets of big business. it is becoming clear.
the harder they speak about consequences of big business, the more money pours in.
seems kind of like a bribe. shakedown dollars.
democrats are ugly.
-I will subtlety invade your psyche-
I am still waiting for a reply to the facts.
