Just to remind Ronald Reagan fans that the favorite President of many conservatives is spotlighted on Turner Classic Movies tonight and on March 11, 18 and 25 when Reagan was just a young actor just trying to make a living. In these movies I think you will see the plain-spoken Reagan and that as a young man he the common touch.
What’s with his sissy son?
I’d always hoped WB would release a dvd-set collection of Reagan’s earlier b-flicks (of 1937-40 vintage), like those Brass Bancroft ones. Minor saturday-matinee films in the big scheme of things, but Reagan made a very likeable, breezy hero. Items like “Accidents Will Happen” and “Nine Lives Are Not Enough.”
And I dare say Reagan would be *for* accountability, and having the chips fall where they may. There is no sense in supposing he would have been for 'big government Republicans', or the wildly expanding debt caused by the Bush administration. I have no doubt that Reagan would stand with Sanford in principle.
Ok well I will keep trying. How about that time Sanford was on Fox News Sunday and got lectured on JOBS by Jennifer "job-killer" Granholm? Personally, I think that's what we need are conservative leaders who will allow themselves to be bullied by hypocritical intellectual lightweights like Jennifer Granholm.
I don't know about you, but after 2008-- I'm ready for another conservative candidate who scolds Rush Limbaugh and rolls over and plays dead for mediocre politicians like Granholm.
Sanford/Pawlenty 2012 RINO dream.
Thank you! I will watch this tonight!
Again, I don't see what what your b*tch is. He made perfect sense. He was reasonable and polite, and he just plain beat her on facts. Just because he didn't engage in attack-dog responses doesn't mean he was "bullied". If anything, she came off as being desperate and lacking confidence.
Sanford can be criticized, perhaps, in foreign policy and war, being a touch too libertarian for some- But to suggest that his positions, especially wrt FICON principles, is simply ludicrous. In this field he is unquestionably old-skool conservative, and his council should be highly sought after.
You have to have awe and wonder at movie dialogue like this:
Actual dialogue between Ronald Reagan and
Nancy Reagan (nee Davis), in the movie,
“Hellcats of the Navy”:
(standing in front of a stack of naval mines)
Nancy: What are you going to do after the war?
Ronald: I told you a hundred times.
Nancy: I want to hear it once more.
Ronald: I’m going into the surplus business.
I’m gonna buy up all the old mines
and sell them to the man in the moon.
Nancy: But there’s no water on the moon!
Ronald: How do you know so much about the moon?
Nancy: I know a lot about it. I spend all my
time looking at it when you’re away.
That’s how it still is with me.
Ronald: It’s time for me to go now.
Fun that they'll be playing his flicks each Wed night.
I agree with you. Nothing says "Old-skool conservative" like hoping Obama's socialist policies succeed. In fact, he thinks anybody who wants Obama to fail is an idiot-- now that is the type of bold, tell-it-like-it-is conservative leadership we need to win in 2012.
That's a good point. I think George W. Bush is the reason why Mark Sanford wants Obama's socialist policies to succeed.
I don't want Obama to fail. I don't want our country to go through what it now looks like it inevitably must. I would much rather the Democrats see the error of their ways and implement sound conservative policies.
Anyone who is looking forward to the failure which is now upon us is an idiot.
Ok. So you want Obama to be successful in implementing his policies?
If the answer to the above is NO, then by your own definition you are an idiot. If the answer is YES, then you may want to give DailyKos a try. You might like it.
Must you resort to taking my words out of context? It only shows the weakness of your argument.
But...I'm not distorting anything, I'm asking you a question:
Do you want Obama to succeed in implementing his policies (like Mark Hussein Sanford) or fail in implementing his policies?
Certainly, you did.
Do you want Obama to succeed in implementing his policies (like Mark Hussein Sanford) or fail in implementing his policies?
What part of this didn't you understand?
[roamer_1:] I don't want Obama to fail. I don't want our country to go through what it now looks like it inevitably must. I would much rather the Democrats see the error of their ways and implement sound conservative policies.
Anyone who is looking forward to the failure which is now upon us is an idiot. In Thread: #15
Without going into the all the particulars of communication, the above statement obviously rejects the status quo, in favor of sound conservative policies, and further states a preference that the Democrats will see the error of their ways. In what possible fashion could one derive from that statement that I am in favor of Obama's current policies?
Do you want Obama to succeed in implementing his policies (like Mark Hussein Sanford) or fail in implementing his policies? It's a yes or no question by the way-- no need to respond with paragraphs of nonsense.
