Just check out Ted Rall's latest blog about Reagan. Its unprintable here but one look at it and y'all will understand why much of the country has turned against the Left.

"Reagan, politicians and observers say, made it acceptable for local officials to be Republicans. The former president's message of keeping money in people's pockets and strengthening the military resonated in the South and in Northeast Florida with Democrats who saw the national party drifting further to the left."

Keeping (U.S.) money in (U.S.) pockets?

That would be a laughing stock today in light of the literally BILLIONS of dollars in lost revenue funnelled off to Mexico from migrant workers via U.S. and other money orders each year.

HINT: Go to any local post office on a "Mexican" payday and just observe the cash flowing across the counter - STRAIGHT FROM THE UNITED STATES TO MEXICO.

Money "staying" in the United States in 2004 is a complete, utter political joke. And Mexico is laughing all the way to the bank.

I grew up, and still live, in Atlanta. In 1980 I was in 7th grade and we had a mock election. There were some 800 kids at the school and the final tally was around 798-2 for Reagan. Granted, this was a phitebrad community but it was still Carter's home state. That was pretty impressive.

Believe it or not (and contrary to Confederate and neo-Confederate propaganda), some of us in the South have been Republicans since Lincoln.

I'm a Reagan fan, but LBJ deserves credit for the South turning Republican.
