  • Yes, I will support it 100%.
  • I'm not American, so I have no say in this. However, it would be a travesty to put the face of that man next to those of Abraham Lincoln and other great politicians. All of the Cold War fearmongering that Reagan inspired, not to mention the rise of income inequality and the Iran-Contra Affair should be enough to dismiss this frood from any such project.
  • I would support it, but I would also support JFK and Gerald Ford being added.
  • No, I don't think we should change Mt. Rushmore. I have nothing against Reagan, but I like the way Mt. Rushmore is now.
  • It wouldn't be a bad idea but I don't think that they would ever do that.
  • NO WAY!!!! When he was Governor of California he cut funding for state run hospitals which became so poorly staffed that several patients in permanent care facilities died from lack of care and attention, my oldest sister included. I don't idolize MURDERERS!!!!!
  • No, although Reagan will be recognized as one of the better presidents of 20th century. The idea of altering the face of Mt. Rushmore to please his supporters is wrong. The best tribute to him would be the curing of Alzheimer's and describing it as the disease that took him, but rallyed the American people to find a answer. I would rather have a cure to a disease done in my honor than a carving of my face on a mountain.
  • No. I don't believe one of our great national monuments needs to be altered, especially in such a drastic fashion. Mount Rushmore is just dandy the way it is.
  • Yes, I would DEFINITELY support a move to put the face of Ronald Reagan on Mount Rushmore because he was a great president, one who stood for what he firmly believed in and did not pander to those who didn't agree with him. He had courage. Courage is a character trait that some Americans have lived without for far too long now, as if fear and embarrassment has taken over. If people continue live like this, an idiocracy will come to surface not too far from now.
  • PERSONAL OPINION ALERT: Not just no but F no. He did little good for the country financially (look up the level of deficit at the time). He also sent me and others into combat. That aside, the mental decay became more obvious as time went on. Also, he became nothing more than a front man for Bush Sr.
  • I don't support the exhumation of bodies. What happens if the coffin falls off in a high wind ?
  • No. He was a very bad man along with all his friends. They introduced crack to the poor!!
  • mt rushmore is a work of art. do you think the artest would want it changed. if so lets give monalisa a big toothy grin. make all the picso look normal.leave it as is, its the way it was ment to be.
  • Absolutely Not! Ronald Reagan brought with him the beginnings of the end of civility in modern politics -- It was Reagan who began the trend of making 'liberal' a bad word, and it was Reagan who created the now-snowballing legacy of the freeloader culture: Taxes can always be cut, government can always can be shrunk, and there's never any need to worry about who pays the bills--someone will take care of that later -- George Walker Bush carries on Reagan's tradition, letting others take the fall for your crimes. Sadder still, Reagan turned a deaf ear to the scourge of AIDS -- Some reports show that as many as 60,000 people died between the discovery of the disease in 1981 and when Reagan first made public mention of it in 1987. Reagan's crimes are many and started well before he was President when he and Bush Sr. paid the Iranian's to not release the hostages in order to prevent the re-election of Jimmy Carter in 1980, not mention his reign of stupidity as Governor of California -- The hostages were released as promised as Reagan was sworn into office. Reagan then secretly sold chemical & biological weapons to Iraq and told CIA buddy Saddam Hussein to step up bombing of Iran while still selling weapons to Iran in a war that claimed an estimated one million victims -- The criminal activities in the Mid East stretched around the world to Central America in the spectacle that came to be known as Iran-Contra. America's worst financial disaster since the Great Depression occured under Reagan with the collapse of the Savings & Loan system. Nearly $500 billion was looted from thousands of Savings & Loans by a criminal ring that included the Mafia, CIA and the Bush family -- Neil Bush was involved in the collapse of Silverado Savings & Loan but never served any jail time. By the time the Federal government and elite is done milking the scam further, US taxpayers will have paid well over a trillion dollars. The full extent of Reagan's crimes may never be known because George W. Bush issued an executive order which countermands the 1978 Presidential Records Act and prevents the release of 68,000 pages of Reagan era documents. Given that Reagan lacked the intelligence to carry out some of the more elaborate crimes, the records are likely to shed light on the true role of the Bush crime family.
  • NO! I don't think we should change Mt. Rushmore, & let us remember Ronald Reagan as he really was. Liar Thief Mass murderer War criminal Traitor Destroyer of freedom Destroyer of the environment Corporate whore
  • one word...NO!
  • Ronald Reagan rarely catches any blame these days for the present economic mess that is destabilizing markets in the United States and around the world. In fact, Americans often praise the former president for taking the country in bold new directions during his years in the White House. Politicians contribute to this love-fest by naming schools and roads after the iconic president These admirers rarely acknowledge how central Reagan’s ideas are to the market difficulties troubling us today. As the country’s greatest modern champion of deregulation, perhaps Ronald Reagan contributed more to today’s unstable business climate than any other American. By Robert Brent Toplin http://hnn.us/articles/53527.html Deregulation was never about loosening the grip of the powerful on the poor. Deregulation is the opposite. The deregulation crowd got a huge boost from R. Reagan. He deregulated everything he could get his hands on. Reagan left office before the shit hit the fan and after a prolonged period of growth fueled by borrowed money. The National Debt skyrocketed. Low taxes and high spending tends to do that. The collapse of the savings and loan industry happened later, on another President’s watch. We, the little people ate the bill for that. Neil Bush was bailed out. Reagan was never held to account. This time it is Banks going down. Maybe not enough of them. Hamburger joints and Banks are on every other corner now. Deregulation of the home loan business is going to cost us big time. We made a paper profit for a time too. That was fun. Now we pay. Not just the government bail outs, your home value will suffer, unemployment will go through the floor and commerce in general will slow. Will it lead to a full recession or a full depression? I don’t know but it will get ugly. Nothing is more at fault for this crisis than is deregulation. The right wing claims the blame lies with the homeowners so stupid they took out loans they couldn’t afford. Well yeah, but that is what all the forms are about, I thought. Proof of employment, bank statements, home appraisals and tax returns for the past few years are to protect banks from getting burned. Some fortunes were made. Don’t accuse me of being too simplistic, other factors are at work here too and I know about them, somewhat. I’m claiming that deregulation, in general has been wrong for our economy in the long term and has been politically driven. Nothing more. Ancillary effects of deregulation include declining value of the dollar, rising gas prices, rising health care costs and a monstrous National debt. All of this while real wages have declined. I just know someone is going to come up with some statistic that says I’m wrong and I am; if we include salaries of over $1/2 million. Those have gone up and up and up. Offsetting any gains we have on average though, made by working two or three jobs, is the price of fuel, milk, cereal and a health insurance policy. More people are working more jobs, often 2 or 3 jobs just to get by. AS Bush said "that is so American". http://oxdown.firedoglake.com/diary/319 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reagan_administration_scandals
  • Yes, he was our generations greatest president.
  • Hell no!
  • I would think that most people would say Kennedy or Clinton. Let's go with something completely different like Crazy Horse, let's go with Daffy Duck:)
  • Hell no!
  • NO!!! We are wasting trillions we don't have on silly things already! Putting Reagan's face on a mountain should be so far down on the list of priorities that our great-great-great-great-great grandchildren MIGHT feasibly consider it.
  • I liked Reagan, probably the last president I really did like. I was just a kid at the time and probably easily impressionable though. That said, I don't think Rushmore is the place for him. Maybe start a new one somewhere (although it may be some time before another president will be worthy of joining him, so he may be lonely for a while)
  • He was a great President, he understood that government should be limited and not the answer for everything like this current president.That being said I say no on the Rushmore thing.
