Biggest mistake Reagan made was to pick Geo, Bush as his VP. What Reagan accomplished was squandered by the half witted Bush. Although he and his son were right on both wars and "W" on terrorism on economics they were very little better than the Dims. More rino than anything else. I appreciate President Bush keeping us safe but I'm glad he's gone. We need a Sara Palin or some one at least as conservative as her. More would be better.
I agree. Sarah Palin would be good, and I would support her, I think it’s a little early to hitch our wagons to Gov. Palin just yet. I would like to see who is out there. With the current administration and congress, there are plenty of opportunities for a conservative leader to rise up. I’m not putting down Gov. Palin, I just think we can afford to wait and see who else is out there.
I was in Cobo Hall in Detroit at the Republican National Convention in 1980 when Reagan announced Bush as his VP choice. After he said, "George Bush," he was drowned out by cheering. However, I wasn't one of the cheerers. I felt even then that Reagan had selected a man who would eventually undo whatever he accomplished.
If Reagan had to have Bush as his VP, he should have groomed a successor, such as Jack Kemp, by giving him a prominet Cabinet position.
