I wonder how President Reagan would view those on both sides of the Rudy candidacy who are already engaging in personal abuse and displaying anger to the detriment of any civilized discussion. President Reagan never found it necessary to attack his political opponents in such a disrespectful manner -- much less fellow Republicans. Perhaps we all need to try harder to live up to his example and act like adults.
Those who cannot keep their cool within the confines of Free Republic are going to have limited ability to convince others who politically are well outside the boundaries of most Freepers. That's not good, because most people are not as conservative as Freepers and we can't win nationally without appealing broadly to the people, as Reagan did.
It's a long way to the primaries. No sense firing all of the ammunition so early anyway.
Reagans 11th Commandment. I have to confess that I can get squirrely after getting a bellyful of some of these posts. Why can't we all examine the candidates peacefully, because its' a long way from January. We cannot let the Beast win!
You get more flies with honey ;-)
