Good post.

One of our family stories is my then toddler son hearing that Reagan had won the election. As a socialist/democrat, I guess I had been ranting enough about the election that he knew something was up, even if he didn't understand it all. So, the little fella comes to me and says, "Mommy, Reagan won. What happens to us now?" I swear.

Strange how time and life experience changes your perspective. Son and I are now both Reagan fans and were appalled at what CBS wanted to do. I have no problem with political debate. Surely CBS could have presented the Reagan years in a way that would encourage legitimate debate. But what CBS did was a pure smear job on a dying man and shame on them for it.

Again, good post. Thanks for taking the time to write it. I'm sure you speak for a lot of us.

Thanks radiohead!

"As a socialist/democrat"...no more, obviously!

My wife, when we first met, was a 'confused' Democrat. One time she was at my place (pre-marraige) and saw a book I was reading by Newt (Renew America?)..and said in a voice that Dem's use..."Newt Gingrich!?"

I simply asked..."Have you read the book?"

It was the beginning of her exodus from lies and innuendo into the light of truth...I did the same when Rush's name came up...etc.
