And what do you bet he cuts in line?
If I were there, I'd raise holy hell if he cut in front of me.
He's going to visit Rodney King.
he won't get any special treatment, he will have to queue up with everyone else and be bussed in - just like Arnold.
Unfair blast at Kerry. He is doing the right thing. He is showing respect the office which he seeks, and honoring a man who had such a great impact in his lifetime on American history. Traducing those that honor Reagan while being an opponent of his politics, just isn't my cup of tea. I dissent.
Look, John "traitor" Kerry has no choice. GW Bush is going to win this election. Please take note of the "European" attitude. Both the leaders of Germany and France have come to the conclusion that they are going to have to live with GW Bush for four more years. John Kerry is an empty suit. He is going nowhere! From here on, his handlers will try anything! It's over for Kerry and his Democrat haters!
It would be inappropriate for him not to go.
I wish he'd go to Simi Valley the next day 'cause President Reagan will be in D.C. by then. But unfortunately, I heard on Fox News that the F'er himself will be showing his ugly face at the library sometime tomorrow.
But I still bet he jumps the line.
Kerry's in a very awkward position. The only thing he can do to have a hope of stemming the emotional groundswell heading toward Reagan's political heir(Bush)is pay his respects. I do think it's grandstanding, though, he'd be better off paying his respects while the body lies in state in the Capitol Rotunda...after all, he's a senator. But let's be honest. He'd dig up Vietnam dead if he thought they'd vote for him. Let's hope he doesn't pester Nancy Reagan. That would be nasty, really over the line.
I just hope Reagans admirers at the viewing service will show how we conservatives behave. If it were a republican visiting a dead democrat president, he or she would probably be heckled and spit on etc. There will be a lot of cameras waiting for someone to diss Kerry.
Why? To pick up a replacement Latina for his aging keeper? Ron Reagan had no time for gigilo, commie-coward unprincipled types. Hopefully, the family will dismiss the seditious Sandinista lover with a frigid, yet polite, "talk to the hand".
Reagan was a firm believer that politics ended at 5, and after that they were all "friends". Loook at him and Tip O'Neil (sp?)
All politicians should be honored to line up and pay their respects to this great mna, he brought us to this point where we can still have dissent in America, and not being under the thumb of communism by now.
It is up to us in November to carry on that legacy.
Not this week.
I think it's entirely appropriate that he shows.
I hope somebody puts a microphone in his face and he stays true to form by saying something stupid.
Maybe he'll forget he's near a hot mike and make an ass of himself, yet again.
Kerry waits in line. Nobody cares. He starts talking but everyone ignores him:
"This line reminds me of...you know...that line....thingy in Vietnam. You there at the front of the line, would you mind giving up your place for an old wounded vet? You know all that post traumatic stress disorder stuff has taken a F***in' toll on the old ticker. MAKE A HOLE everybody. A limpin' Vietnam vet's comin' through!"
Let him come. It can only hurt him. Whatever his motive, he'll be p***ing off his base and galvanizing Bush's, all for a 20sec voice-over on the news. Yeah...he's smart.
