Sad. I really wish I could have met him.

I did... I have a picture of me with then Governor Reagan in his office in the California State Capital right next to my computer. I was 19 years old at the time.

He was gracious and humorous... and invited my group and me to come swimming at the Governor's Mansion.

How tall is he? I shook Bush Sr's hand once and he was ONE TALL man.

[putupon]

Ronald Reagan BUMP, best POTUS in the 20th century by far.

Don't you love the compassion of the left? They wait until an old man is deeply affected by Alzheimer's and THEN try to throw horse manure on him. It won't be just conservatives who will be turned off by this hit piece.

The left is unredeemable trash and they ain't foolin' very many folks.

The problem is the last 20 years, the liberals have re-written much of our nation's history. This trend will continue until we draw the line.

[grumple]

This article does not consume enough pages in it's efforts to bitch-slap the net execs at See B.S.

Liberals REALLY hate him. As such, I never miss any chance to say to my students, "God Bless Ronald Reagan!"

[oh8eleven]

Liberals hated Ronald Reagan.
No, not past tense. They did and always will.

[mombonn]

Who in the world is cbs thinking will watch this movie? Libs hate him and won't watch it. We love him; and I, for one, won't watch it.

I hope it bombs BIG TIME.

AMEN!

Moreover, not once – ever – did Hollywood even think about giving my dad an award in recognition of his many services to the film industry and the people who work in it. So I wouldn’t expect them to do a positive miniseries about somebody who gave them residuals so they could take the summers off.

Psssst, Hollywood, many of us HAVE drawn the line & it will cost YOU!

" The best President of my 46-year lifetime. There's not even a close second."

Heck, I only have 32 years under my belt but I agree with you. I was only a kid when he was President but he had my utmost respect. That is more than I can say about any president since, except for maybe GWB. The jury is still out on that one.

had = has. I will never lose my respect of the Gipper.

What a Surprise [IBD editorial on CBS's miniseries on Ronald Reagan]

[RightOnline]

I was commissioned as an officer in the USAF during Carter's administration.........and I voted for Ronald Reagan as fast as I could punch that card. The difference, after he was elected, was phenomenal to those of us in the military. We felt proud once again. We got better pay, better equipment. We had a leader who understood the greatness of our country. God bless him and his family, and to hell with the morons at CBS. They forget that far too many of us remember..........and remember well.

The liberal network had the gall to allow a scriptwriter to put words in my father’s mouth he never spoke

Standard operating procedure for the left. They lie, lie, lie because the truth isn't on their side.

And he never forgot who he was, and where he had come from.

[Aeronaut]

It would be interesting to see who the advertisers will be on this special and what ads they will run.

That list will help me set up my personal boycott efforts.

"The liberal network had the gall to allow a scriptwriter to put words in my father’s mouth he never spoke...."

One should not be surprised; it is their way.

[Wondervixen]

Ask anyone who lived through Reagan to jot down the ten things they recall most about him and they'll be hard pressed to stop at just ten.

In contrast, ask them to do the same about Tip O'Neil & you'd have a difficult time getting past "(1.) He was a fat gasbag."
