He ran against a guy that was not elected by the people. And, once he lost in the primaries he did his part to get Ford back in office.

LOL

You zinged me, and didn't ping me.

No threat, just a fact.

You got a problem with that, take it upstairs.

And so it starts. Michael Reagan should hang his head in shame. I never would have suspected he'd tuck tail and run in the face of adversity. Buck it up Reagan!

We cannot allow Shrillary, Obama or Edwards be President. To be perfectly honest, I cannot understand how people who call themselves patriots would go the 3rd party route (or the stay-at-home route) and let Bin Ladin's preferred party win by default.

Let me explain to you why I will never vote for Rudy Giuliani. We are both Catholic however one of us has been a supporter of abortion on demand which is considered a grave and evil sin by the Catholic Church, that would be Rudy. Of course he is free to hold whatever views he wants but the hypocrisy involved in walking into the Church and receiving Holy Communion while holding those views is, imo, disqaulaifying behavior for a candidate for POTUS.

For me to vote for Rudy I would become the same hypocrite that Rudy is since I march in Dc every year clamoring for the Bishops to rebuke and excommunicate pro abortion Catholics holding public office.

Since I have to look in the mirror in the mornings when I shave, I prefer not to have a hypcrite staring back at me watching and thus voting for Rudy is a bridge too far so to speak.

But the Democrats do have litmus tests for their candidates.

They must be pro-abortion, pro-homosexual agenda, anti-second amendment, anti family values, anti-America, pro-enemies of America and thousands more.

"We will never recognize the true value of our own lives until we affirm the value in the life of otheres.....there is no cause more important!

The bottom line is defeating Hitlery Clinton.

If we throw our weight behind Obama, that might happen. Or maybe we can start a Draft Warner movement. He could do it too.

Honest FReepers don't need a fifth columnist disruptor telling them to be ashamed.

I am not a RINO. Not even close. I am, however, not interested in wearing a burqua.

"Conservatives have graciously put up with GHWB, Bob Dole, and now W"

As have I...My point is there are some people here who said that they will not put up with the Republican nominee if he's not as conservative as they like. I like Reagan's comments in his book about batting average. Everyone forgets that Newt Gingrich's much reviled Contract with America had a .700 batting average when Bill Clinton was president.

BTW the threat of Islamic terrorism was the # 1 issue on my mind when I voted for Dole in 1996 and Bush in 2000.
