Massive vote fraud stole it!
excuse me for being pessimistic
it will be years before the conservatives recover.
but hey! what do I know?
I am batting 3 for 7 in presidential elections
88, 92, 96, 2000, 04, 08 and 12
So the author argues, with help of his ouji board, that Reagan would have reached out to all those layabouts and they would have all magically saw the error of their ways. Because we all remember how guys like Mitch Snyder loved the old Gipper. I remember no black leaders accusing old Ronny of masterminding the crack epidemic. The 80’s was all about bipartisanship in DC. Tax cuts had nothing to do with Democrats afraid of losing their seats if they didn’t go along, no it was out of the goodness of their hearts. It was all sweetness and unicorns. The spirit did not reach out to the left then, and it will not reach them now. The difference was there were a lot less of them back then.
Reagan would get rid of the Karl Rove Wing of the party.
I must be close to my age, I’m 46. I could have voted in 1984 but registered too late. B-( Before people pile on, I blame myself.
(I am insane too) early voting is the parlor trick
I don’t think he’d give up with such blatant fraud with the voting and I don’t think he’d virtually go into hiding like Romney is doing.
I’m 44
first federal election was 86 missed that one because of a registration snafu (I moved)
With thinking like that you should change your handle to Fredo.
Reagan would not recognize this America.
That was 30+ years ago.
This country has got to go over the fiscal cliff and into a depression not just a recession. Unemployment has to increase substantially. Then in 2016, the Democrats can only blame Obama and they will lose throughout the country from city to federal government. This country needs to get worse than Greece.
What you’re talking about will quickly spread to a global depression that will make the Great Depression look like a minor hiccup.
Historically, such economic downturns see a rise in radical leftist ideologies and movements.
scary thought
You’re right. The 60’s and 70’s were worse. You can even argue that 0bama is to the right of Richard - “’We’re all keynsians now’, EPA, Wage and price controls, Detente- loving - Nixon. It’s not over by a longshot.
I really did not need to read that cheerful news.
It is probably correct, but I didn’t need the reminder.
“You could not be more wrong.
Reagan resisted and fought against moves for silly “3rd Parties” his entire life.”
Yes, but I believe this time is different. Much different. When RR switched from Dem to Rep he stated that ‘the democrats left me, I didn’t leave them’, or something similar to that.
Likewise would it be in this situaion, I believe.
I just don’t see the GOP having what it takes to return us to our rightful place in this world.
