THANK YOU
It’s great to see some sanity. Reagan was a Democrat until 1962 and campaigned for Harry Truman. Things change and people change.
For a brand new freeper, you sure seem like a liberal troll.
You compare being a democrat in the 1940s to being anti-Reagan in the 1980s, fund raising for and voting democrat in the 1990s, being liberal in the 2000s?
Reagan?
You mean 8 years of military service 1937 enlistee, Captain Reagan, who by the second half of the 1940s was already starting to be seen as a communist fighting conservative, testifying to Congress and naming names, working with the FBI, having to carry a gun for self defense from the left, Reagan?
The last time Reagan voted Dem for President was 1948, for Romney it was 1992, By 1952 Reagan was campaigning for Republicans as a “Democrat for Eisenhower”, he kept using that anti-liberal, conservative campaigning slogan until 1962.
In 1952 Reagan was campaigning for Republicans like Eisenhower, who he campaigned for again in 1956, and then campaigned for Nixon against JFK in 1960, already having earned a reputation as an active speaker for conservatism for years.
The already famously conservative Reagan who formally registered Republican in 1962 and spoke at the Goldwater convention in 1964 (the one Mitt and dad George protested)?
Despite the attrition over the last couple of months, there's still some sanity left here.
Welcome to FR and please disregard all the "N00B" posts. There remains a small but very vocal contingent of so-called Freepers who cannot come to grips with the fact that Mitt Romney is the Republican nominee. These individuals, and you'll come to recognize them, are so unhinged over the prospect of a Mormon in the White House that they're all but supporting Barack Obama. It's sad and disgraceful.
Anyhow, keep your chin up and we'll get the Marxist removed! And, who knows... You just might be correct on another "Great Communicator" in the White House!
