Tip

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Tip O'Neill was a disgrace to our country.

Er... how exactly?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

He was the worst kind of person. An incompetent idiot who thought he knew everything.

Evidence?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Uh huh. Most people don't actually think the '80's discredited O'Neill you know. But I expect you think that they are idiots as well?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Objective? You are not objective.

As for polls, when O'Neill retired he had higher approval ratings than Reagan.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Yes, objective. Objective analysis.

Where? I don't see any. Just because you agree with a certain point of view doesn't mean that said point of view is "objective". You are not God.

Really? I'd say it indicates that most people don't think he was "utterly discredited".

Right. You're saying that O'Neill was "utterly discredited" because of one remark? Interesting. How "objective".
Did you know that on a personal level O'Neill and Reagan actually got on with each other fairly well (most of the time)?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Where is your objective analysis? I don't see any.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Tip blunted the harsher aspects of Reagan's agenda and although Reagan got the better of him in the first year and a half, after then (and especially after the '82 MidTerms) Tip usually came out on top. He was a pretty effective check on the executive, maybe that why you don't like him?
