Petty, just petty. And so contrary to Reagan's philosophy.

[EllaMinnow]

feel the hate.

[freekitty]

Too bad.

[hellinahandcart]

Good. The fewer of them I have to look at on television, the better.

“He changed the tax debate in the country — you just can’t talk about raising taxes anymore,” said Rep. Robert Matsui (Calif.), chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. “Many Democrats won’t support any kind of tax increase, even when the economy is strong.”

And he says that as if it were a bad thing...

[hellinahandcart]

Seriously, I'm grateful. No hard feelings from me if they stay away; at least they're not hypocrites.

[nmh]

He wouldn't want them there either. In fact, John Kerry ought to stay home too. He disliked Reagan intensely.

[San Jacinto]

I agree. The two-faced A-holes who show up for the TV exposure are much worse than the ones who stay home.

as others here have said,let them whine.
the party is just so transparent.
i could only pray to live long enough,to see the donkey party flying cardbord signs on freeway off-rramps like the garbage that they are.

[RightFighter]

Perfect time to have a quorum call and start voting on some high-profile legislation or judicial nominees.

[Bringbackthedraft]

What are the odds that Maxine Waters will show up?

[Taliesan]

How considerate of the socialists to avoid Reagen's funeral. There is a sense of justice in these people after all.

[commish]

Time for the Dems to pay the Piper. All votes this week need to Be ROLL CALL votes. Get the Yea/Nay/NOT PRESENT down on paper for all to see.

[Servant of the 9]

Lets teach them a lesson and pass legislation to put Reagan on Mt. Rushmore while they are out sulking.

Kerry needs the photo op. He'll be there.

[hellinahandcart]

Personally I'd never show up at the funeral of someone I didn't care for, particularly if I'd spent years bashing that person. I don't think funerals should be command performances. I've had to sit through a couple in my family, where my mom and dad were just gritting their teeth because of some idiot who'd shown up unwanted, and who they accordingly were forced to be nice to, in the midst of their grief.

It's often more considerate of the bereaved to stay home and stay quiet, IMO.

[Conspiracy Guy]

If Zell Miller and Joseph Lieberman are the only Democrats to show up, GREAT!

[b4its2late]

Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-N.Y.), a member of the Progressive Caucus, will not return to Washington

Damn Socialist.

[BadAndy]

Too bad Reagan wasn't as sucessful in destroying the DemonRat party as he was with the Soviets.
