Will FR embrace socialism to make way for Rudy Giuliani as a Republican presidential candidate?

I was thinking more of the way he was portrayed by the media. I know he was popular with a lot of the people, but the media shredded him in office. Afterwards, especially at his funeral, they couldn’t say enough good about him.

Yep, and most of the time, his humor completely disarmed them. The MSM came off as looking mean.

They came off as looking agenda driven and stupid, which of course they were. Just like the residual posters to this thread that don't want it to end with reconciliation and movement forward.

I realized afterward that that was probably what you meant.

Yes, my one of My Grandmothers went to the grave as 92 year old saint, but she was hardly innocent LMAO! She was born in 1903 I think, and her husband only a few years older, and they were married until death.

She used to cart me around to meet all of the ‘great greats’ including on my fathers side.

I was hugged by my fathers Great GrandMa many a time. She was in her late 90’s, and had such gorgeous black hair all the way down to the nape of her back, her eyes were so sparkling and beautiful, her touch so gentle. Supposedly she was half Cherokee/Sioux but I cant vouch for that.

The media could never quite grasp that there was nothing they could do to keep Reagan from connecting with the American people.

[stephenjohnbanker]

I am certainly ready to move forward but NOT move-on : )

[BykrBayb]

Must be a procrastinator who missed last call.

[woofie]

Just exactly who are you ending it with?

The people who all agree this was a smart move on JRs part?

wht is there to end with them?

[Kevmo]

I thought it meant Tiece Of ShiP ;-)

Say this 3 times fast in a scottish accent

Whale... Oil... Beef... Hooked

I know, I know I’m a terrible person.

“The media could never quite grasp that there was nothing they could do to keep Reagan from connecting with the American people”

Exactly! That is also because they were mean spirited, while Reagan was very likable.

The media could never quite grasp that there was nothing they could do to keep Reagan from connecting with the American people.

Nor can they grasp that they aren't connecting with the American people. They are so clueless.

[woofie]

That comment in itself shows just how phony you are

*** PLEASE NOTE ***

I might be alone in this tonight, but I’m looking forward to some music, fire-works (in the sky type), maybe even a little Luau dancing , definately some Flag Posting, and bit of Patriotic celebration before tomorrow, which is when I plan to introduce a few ideas as moving forward points.

9:30 EDT Kick-off

Thoughts, moans, groans, additions, subtractions, divisions, lol ???

[RunningWolf]

Oh I forgot to add they were married when she was 17 and he was 19 (I think) and they lived at his fathers house for a time.

I heard all the stories LOL! For a time all she wanted to do was ride horses, and her Father-in-Law had to make an order that she put make up on before appearing at the dinner table :-)

Evening! Great day for Free Republic and America!

Excuse me, please. I have mostly stayed off this thread except for a bit of foolishness. I have read a great deal of it and I see you have been quite prolific. I also see you signed up a couple of weeks ago.

Are you a retread? If so, care to share your former name?

If you are a true newbie what in the world made you want to join in such a contentious thread and post day after day after day?

[stephenjohnbanker]

Indeed they are!

[metmom]

Are you done yet?

[stephenjohnbanker]

Have a great time!

[metmom]

I love fireworks. They’re my favorite holiday thing to do.

[BykrBayb]

No, I’m sticking around for the long haul. I assume you’re talking to me, because I don’t see anyone else in your ping. ; )
